I would probably recommend an Enthoo Pro case, but otherwise, pretty solid.

Good choice on the CPU, but the 4670k will be better. I heard that it's just the thermal pad/paste that makes it a 90k. Thumbs up for the 290 but I suggest wait a little for the 300 series to come out. I heard it's a lot better. Nothing bad about mobo but I suggest the RAM to be 1600 because it's cheaper. Great choice on 8.1 as I use that, good case. 9/10 |

"Operating System Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit)"
Are you going to have a touch screen?
Windows 8 is for touch screens. |

@Irid Ignore heartstrings, the real garbage is the Mac Pro (she owns). Fitted with GCN 1.0 (the 290 is 3.0) and each one is equal around 260x. |

Nah, I'm gonna use the monitor I have right now. I'm gonna use classicshell to get rid of Metro, or I'll upgrade to Win10 for free if I decide to wait for the 300 series GPU. |

| I'd get a cheap Windows 7 and then download Windows 10 for free for a whole year. |

I was typing my reply since I was googling about the 4690k you doofus. Why does every computer that isn't a Mac Pro is trash/garbage to you? Honestly, you post the most stupid threads/posts that always get mashed on.

If you like Windows 8/8.1 and don't have a touchscreen, though I'm seriously secretly judging you right now, I think it's a great build, 9.5/10.
I'd seriously suggest Windows 7 though. I use it, and I love it, it's way simpler than 8/8.1 and less confusing. If you're used to 8/8.1 then never mind, but yeah.
Your Honor! The witness's testimony directly contradicts this evidence! |

| I would stay with 7 but 8.1 is quite a bit faster. |

You'll have to buy Windows 10 anyway after the free year trial is done. |
