1200 budget. I may skimp on the mouse and keyboard for now. I may or may not get an ssd. Im still unsure. Ill have to wait until the day of my order to decide for sure.

Theres a deal on a seasonic gold 650 watt on newegg for 50 $ i believe, spend the rest of the money on a H60 2013 Edition.

[Kymei]

That's a beast computer for 1200, I would go with more expensive keyboard and mouse though, I just like all the brand name crap.

[Faithh]

I wouldn't pay 50$ for a rubber dome keyboard. They're just a big piece of junk in my eyes

Yeah, im getting a cheaper keyboard and mouse for now i think, and possibly adding an ssd instead.

Motherboard: ASRock Z87 Extreme4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($139.99 @ Newegg)

Hardware.info reports some memory speed with ASRock's Z87 Extreme series.

ASRock appears to have some room for improvement with its memory tuning, as the two ASRock boards score poorly in the Passmark memory benchmark, and as a result also have a poor showing the 3DMark chart. Keep in mind that fast memory access is essential for integrated graphics.

I recommend going for an ASUS Z87-A.

Im not doing water cooling for my first build. Im not going to risk it. Any good air coolers?

Oh is it okay to get a small ssd for now just for my OS? under 50gb? I never see anyone recommend that, but its the only ones i can fit into my budget.

Not really. The price difference between 60 and 120GB is so small there's no point getting anything lower than 120. If you get smaller SSD for OS only you'll be pretty soon asking here how to clone the contents of small SSD into bigger one, trust me.

What risk? Installing is much easier than any cooler on the market.

If it leaks your whole system is ruined not to mention you have to wait days before you can install it. Ill pass for now.
