Hi,
I want to build a PC for entertainment purposes, which includes gaming, watching movies etc. The PC will be put in my living room, which is why I will choose for a small footprint (µATX), and will be hooked up to my 1080p LCD TV.
I know this build might be a bit overpowered at the moment, certainly because of the type of games I play (racers, FIFA, Tomb Raider etc.), but I'd rather build a PC which will last me a few years (5?) instead of building/upgrading a new one every two years. On the long term, overclocking might be something I want/need.
The core of this build consists of a mobo with Z87 chipset, an i5 4670k, 8 GB ram 1600Mhz and a Sapphire R9 280x. However, the cheaper, the better. So my main question is: is there a better or similar but cheaper mobo/cpu/gpu combination I could opt for? E.g. would an FX8350 suffice for my needs or maybe replace the GPU with a GTX 760? I read up on this forum about this subject, but I can't find a straightforward answer (maybe there isn't?)..
FYI: I already have a laptop which I use for heavy duty tasks (rendering audio/video).
You'll find the complete build over here:

Another question: will the power supply suffice?
Thanks in advance!
