I need help deciding what build to go with any input would be great

[jddeisel]

I have decided on two different builds both htpc, one with Silvertstone Ml07b case and the other is the Silvertstone SST-LC10B-E-USB3.0 case. Here are my builds this one has the correct mother board

and the other I could not find the mother board I am getting on the site

the motherboard that goes with this build is the MSI ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97S SLI PLUS link here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K23BY6O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I think the 1000w power supply is overkill but I was thinking maybe in the future doing SLI.
Any help would rock?

Let me just recommend you go through NCiX for all of them, get the rewards card fist and you will get about 100 in points and free shipping. Also wait till boxing day an run a bundle deal mobo chipset you should come off cheaper.
It worked great for me and was $500 less the PC part picker all things considered.
Also the 4690K is only 10-15 dollars more and its a reasonable bit better on OC.
Ripjaws memory is better, patriot seems like a sketchy brand to me.
Also for the price you are paying for all the Matx you might as well get a full atx with better airflow and more upgrade potential.

One issue: You can not fit an ATX in an MATX (first link, atx mobo matx case) ! go full Atx

Ok ,i see.Well as rock mobo has a reputation for dependability and a lot like it i would say msi is a bit more bang for the buck but wont last as long . As far as the cases i don't know i cant understand what could possibly make that case worth 135 dollars or anywhere above 80 so that's where i stop having an opinion.
