If any components are overpowered, overpriced, or underpowered, please recommend different ones and sources.

I just want a fast, strong computer to last me a while. I might run some games, but not excessively.

Thanks, greatly appreciated.

You need to post the link in the top left with all the numbers and letters not the URL from your browser bar

Also post your intended usage for the system, you need very different components for Maya/CAD vs gaming

Well depending on what your doing exactly I would look at at-least a 750Ti for your GPU and if you don't have to any encoding/rendering etc. a 4670 would work just fine and save you some money.

A "fast strong computer to last [you] a while" doing WHAT???

Very very few tasks justify the expense of a 4770k, almost everything will be just fine with an i5 for far less and most things will do just fine with an i3. If you are only going to play games occasionally and aren't doing any super heavy lifting with your machine, is the extra power of the 4770k that will only be used occasionally worth the 42% price increase?

For normal tasks the biggest influence on your perception of the speed and responsiveness of your computer is the speed of your hard drive and if you have enough ram or if it has to call back to the hard drive.

I found a $270 4770k.

Thats what i did the math off of, the price of the 4770K at micro center compared to the 4570k also at micro center. Be aware though that you can only get that price if you physically go into the store.
