Sub-1500$ Intel based gaming and development build

[maraci]

Hey guys,

I'm looking for some feedback on this build. Primary usage will be to run multiple VMs for software/web development. Lots of multitasking. I don't need a monster to give me enough grunt to do this, but I'd also like to use it for occasional gaming at high settings.

I like to tinker/fiddle so I would like to have the option of overclocking both CPU and GPU.

Also trying to somewhat future-proof it.

This is my first build, and I'm not familiar with the parts market these days.

Before the list, here are my concerns:
- CPU aftermarket cooler. Is this good enough? Enough to OC?
- PSU. Good enough?
- Case ventilation. Are the stock fans good enough?

Here is the list:

Thanks for all/any feedback

I would go for something based of lga 2011 so you could iether start out with or upgrade to a 6 core cpu later on.

Thanks for your input.
I'm quite unfamiliar with any other processor apart from the intel i series ivy/haswell. Are there any in particular you would recommend? And a motherboard to go with? I'm a little wary of spending over 300$ for a CPU when as far as I can tell, the i5 haswell should be quite good enough.

I've updated my parts list to reflect some feedback I've received from some friend.

you can start out with this build, wich will outperform the lga 1150 build, and upgrade the cpu to a 3930k or something else.
