Weird motherboard choice, but everything else looks good.
Jeez, H87 board for $125.

The K series and the non K series were listed as the same price for me so why not get the K series was my thought. I thought the H87 was what fit my needs the best. I didn't think I needed a Z series because I'm not interested in overclocking, but if I ever was I have the K cpu and I'd just need a new mobo (which will probably be cheaper than buying a new processor, just more work when switching it out). I got an intel board because intel makes a good product.

But you pay $125 for an H87 mobo when z87 is the same price?

Intel boards are made by the Chinese company Foxconn. Not saying that's a bad thing. It's just not in-house quality standards. Foxconn also makes motherboards for Apple, Dell, Acer, HP, Sony, etc.
If you decide to overclock a little bit, this is a great Z87 board for $139.99: LINK
You'll also need it if you ever decide to do SLI 760s.

so i was wondering what your thought is about custom cooling in a micro case. Seeing this mean little thing on Tomshardware (Cooler Master) this morning made me want to do this for a small budget build. I would buy pieces here an there. Anyways, how hard is it to run custom cooling in these micro cases?
Also i am a little curious about this build, the graphics card do not make any sense to me... this is the build from toms, that they made for this case.

AMD chips don't like speed but love tight timings.
Intel chips love speed and casually enjoy tight timings.

IDK if I told you guys this, but the GF and I have been donating our time at the local animal shelter. Nothing much just worming and spading animals. If it wasn't for ppl like us these cute animals would never find a home. Nothing has ever giving us more joy then seeing those cute puppies relieved after a good bath and meal.

I totally made all of that up.. but none the less, the GF does have a crazy soft heart. Luckily we only have 2 cats in this house.

My wife wants to save every rescue dog we see. 1 is enough for us right now and I have to fight that every day.

I have 4 dogs. Two are rescues. I have to fight myself from wanting to save them all. I hate to see a good dog suffer.
I did save 6 puppies someone dumped on the side of the road not long ago. Took them all in and put them in my kennel in the back until they all had homes.

I would take another if we had a yard but in a 2 bedroom townhouse, 1 is fine. I'm a dog lover though.
