will you do overclocking?
do you use multithreaded applications(rendering and such)?
what screen do you have?

im a beginner builder.
i will not be worried about over clocking since the cpu is already at 4.ghz
i also have not choosen a screen or any other things i will need besides the main computer hardware.

not sure what multi-threaded app is, sounds to complicated for a noobie builder.

a multithreaded app is an app that can utilize many core's,most of todays game dont use more that four but some applications like photoshop and sony vegas use alot of cores. But since you dont seem to use them i picked you an i5 instead of an i7 since you wont need that hyperthreading.

then i downgraded your motherboard since you wont need it if you aint gonna do some serious overclocking

i took a cheaper ram(5$) that runs a bit faster.

then instead of a single 512 gb ssd i went with 2 * 256gb in raid 0

then i went with an 1tb black series and the reason for that is that:
1: western red are more for nases and raid configurations
2:unless you create content and never clean your harddrive you dont need 2tb

the gpu i changed to an amd r9 290 since its only 40$ more and if you ask me it's the hottest highend gpu out right now

the psu i changed for a 850w evga supernova g2 so that you can oc and do crossfire and i quote johhnyguru "reviewing awesome units is getting dull... where's that gutless wonder in my pile? Second in line?. "

the case is fractal design arc mini r2 but i just finished my third build three hours ago using that case and i just love its just beatifull and easy to build in.

finally here is some reviews,unboxings and nice youtube channels to follow for tech news.
