I think it is a pretty solid build, going to go to Micro Center to pick it all up. Any thoughts or suggestions for it?

Do you plan on overclocking? The 212 WILL NOT COOL A HASWELL sufficiently. Just going to make that clear. If you still want air cooling, look at the Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro II or III

Other than the CPU cooler and the PSU, it looks good. I would go with an XFX 550W Pro series PSU. As "Terrabytez" said a Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro II or III would be much better. I would also be including an SSD in that build, if you have the money for it.

$1.3k But no SSD?

You sure about the i7? I mean if you're only gaming it's a bit of a waste.

If you've only bought the CPU cooler for stock Clocks it'll be fine allowing room for upgrade down the line.

Get This IPS Panel instead. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I would like to note that the same monitor is a little bit cheaper on Newegg, [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

OP, I doubt you're planning any overclocking with that CPU cooler... So if i were you, I'll just get a nice h87 motherboard and a Xeon E3-1230V3 (Same performance of a 4770 but w/o iGPU). With that money saved, I would add a SSD.

Yeah mainly for gaming but want to run everything on ultra with little to no lag.
