  • Motherboard: ASUS ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Z97-PRO [+$210] (Amazon)
  • PSU: Corsair RM Series 650 Watt ATX/EPS 80PLUS Gold-Certified [+$99] (Amazon)

Notes: I would recommend you start with these specifications and go from there. The motherboard I chose has great reviews, and it also has built in A/C WiFi, which will come in handy. The water cooler is a bit more expensive but it is a premium cooler (a new version).
Couldnt find that op drive but atm without it its on 1730~
