1000$ or less AMD/Intel Build. 2nd build, please help :)

Hardware Build a PC
1

Hey guys.

Building my second computer. Budget of less than 1000...would like it less than 900$ ideal because i still have to spend 65 for windows OS.

Let me know what you guys come up with. I have both AMD and Intel build set up on PCpartspicker but I'd like to see what yall come up with.

Requirements:

Must have an overclockable board (this will come later when i want to spend more moolah on a good fan)

I would like at least 1440p gaming at least. Ex: BF4, ARMA 3, and new games for the next few years.

Must support Crossfire or SLI respective to the hardware. Trying to make this future proof...ish...

If you guys find a good case with a good airflow that would be awesome. Right now I'm trying to keep the price of the case under 100$...do like me some black sleek design. :) would prefer a window because if im spending that much money on a PC, I'm gonna wanna gawk at its beauty... :)

CPU at least quadcore please... :)

Well theres this awesome site that might be what you're looking for. Found out about it on a Vsauce DONG. It even provides for over clocking and stuff like that, kind a like pc part picker, but more UX based intead of just input.

I came up with this: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/GPBrLk

I think this would be a nice base build to start with, the Sapphire 290 TriX OC is a very decent card for 1440p gaming, I did not choose for a cpu cooler right away, because the stock cooler would be fine for now to save money, can allways be added later on. I further choose for a i5-4690K cpu, simply because this a great cpu for gaming. The Msi Z97 Gaming 5, is a decend gaming motherboard, which basicly has all the functions you would need. except sata express, but i dont think that would be a big deal.

Further the EVGA 850W Bronze powersuply is offcourse way overkill for this build, however, if you ever plan on a second sapphire 290 tri X OC, you have plenty of watts to do that.

I did choose for an SSD, but you dont realy need one, if you wanne keep the costs under $1000,- you could decide to skimp on the SSD for now, and again add one later on.
