Just to kinda follow along with what ILike is pointing out, Digital Storm has pretty much the same exact build as he listed, and they charge 1399 for it.

So you'd be looking at saving 350-400 by building yourself, if you are using quality parts.

Just ordered everything you told me. Came in at $1100 before rebates.

Do I really only need one fan?

For your CPU, yes. The case also has fans already in it. Glad you made the right choice. If you get stuck at any point in the process, let me know. Just take your time. Don't forget to send off for the rebates.

Another question. What about all the cables and cords? I assume they all come with it?

Now I have to figure out the best route to get Windows.

All the cables you need will be included. Someone may come along and give you a torrent for windows, but not sure.

This torrent:

Then get a 4GB or larger flash drive, and download and install Rufus to create a bootable flash drive with your freshly downloaded Win 8.1 image on it: LINK

It's good, but if you have more money to spend, your PC is really more suited to 1440P gaming. This monitor is great: LINK
