Looking for a 1100$s PC build

[SirCat]

I've been looking at some other posts like this in here but I'm not sure if those were good for me. Here is the best rig I've seen so far http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VxThFT
That is clearly made for OCing but I'm not sure if I want that. What I need is a PC that will be able to stand games for around 2 years and then just continue to function well without overheating and much noise for other 2 more years. After that I don't really mind it. If I overclock it will the pc last for 4 years, and how much better would it get?
Also, I have 60$s more to spend, should I get better RAM? If so, which?
Thanks.

just about anything you put together at that cost will perform how you describe - and in 3 years you'll be able to update the gpu to a newer one and extend the life

Well you should be going for a 4690k and a z97 board. also for overclocking that hyper 212 isn't going to get you very far. Also found a faster set of ram for cheaper(has a lower CAS). That thermaltake PSU is not very good. Here is a better build.

At this price range imho you should get a stronger 4GB GPU, a better PSU and a Z97 mobo good enough for any upgrade:

Here's a similar build to Bignastyid's build, but with a slightly different GPU, mobo, RAM, and no disk drive but it has a SSD twice the size, 120GB is not nearly enough once you've experienced having games on an SSD, 250GB is much more allowing.

If you don't care about oc and upgrade than you really should focus in getting the strongest gaming build for the money right now.
