    I was looking to build a pc to run rome 2 on the highest graphics with huge armies. This is what I came up with after researching for $1365, pretty sure everything will work but if there is anything I missed or anything that would help it would be great.

    if you plan to overclock the 212 EVO is not good enough.

    find a better SSD everyone loves the samsungs but there really not any better than Corsair Neutron series which sues the LAMD enterprise SSD controller or the Plextor M5Pro

    also you need a Z87 motherboard you try sticking that 4670k into a z77 board youll kill the chip and ruin the board. pay attention to the socket 4670k = socket 1150 Z77 = socket 1155 there is a difference.

    Plextor M5 Pro 128gb 5 year warranty $99.99 so $50 cheaper than the Samsung

    Corsair Neutron Series 256gb $184 so $30 more and double the capacity also 5 year warranty

    I changed the motherboard to a z87 and took your advice with a corsair neutron. I was planning on overclocking and found 2 different cpu coolers but was looking for advice on which is better.
