I simply scrapped the idea of overclocking my i5 4690 and decided at going with a SSD as a future upgrade, due to my budget limitations.
My primary concern is, this would be a cube/mATX build and since this is my first build, anything to watch out for? I have a relatively small space to put in my monitor and tower/cube, which why I decided to go with a cube/mATX. Is Aerocool DS a good pick?
Secondly, I am switching from a console (PS3) to gaming PC, how long do you guys think I will be gaming on ultra/high settings with the next gen games? Any estimate on years based on your experience?
Please suggest/criticize!
