Tips on a Gaming pc?

[razor blade]

Well I'm really new to this building a PC thing. And new to this forum so: hello. I'm building a Gaming pc. What I've gotten so far is this:

Now I'll be livestreaming BF4, COD Ghosts and other games that will come out in 720p or better. I'll be recording some of these aswell.
I'm undecided on two things:
Intel i7-3700k, i7 4770k or Intel i5 4670k?
Any case under 100 dollars you can recomend?
Any other tips you might have on the build itself would be apreciated

Thank you for reading.

Change the Kingston SSD and go with the Samsung 840 Pro. Go with the i5 4670k, and pick out a new 1150 LGA motherboard. The Asrock Z87 Extreme4, or the Asrock Z87 Extreme6, or even the Asrock Z87 Fatal1ty Killer are all good affordable Z87 boards (which will allow you to easily overclock your i5 4670k)

Just my two cents.

this is a solid build. upgrade yours to an r9 290x and you will get all the performance you want and save a few bucks off the build you listed most likely

i7 Would be best for streaming and recording/rendering. Why was you thinking of going for the 3700k over the 4770k?

I would have gone for 4670k over 3770k if it was a gaming PC. And all other components are Kick ass so no doubt they can survive for at least 5-6 years. Although 3770k is also good, but it won't give that better performance in gaming than 4670k if considered their price.

The 4770k is a little more expensive then the i5. I need to know if I'll spend another 100 dollars on an i7. Most people tell me it's a waste cause I don't need an i7 for any games so far.

i think thats a really nice build.
If i wereto make any changes, i would have gone with the 1600mhz ram and either i would have gone with a r9 270 or something higher than the 270x.

from what i know... a 270 performs almost equal to a 270x and the difference is that r9 270x can just overclock a little bit high.

That's true but the i7 really shines through when it comes to rendering and streaming.
