You have ddr3 ram listed and the processor requires ddr4.
The video card very likely won't fit in that case. 660's are huge.
Thanks. Learning. After more research, I think a Micro ATX is not the way to go. Too much heat in tight case. Although, that's what I really would prefer.

Even more so, because you don't want to be chasing your tail, in the limited time you have available.....

Would be a great machine....

From what I see. You still should plan for 3 HD's

And you might be able to drop the ram down to a 1866mhz set....if it saves you some coin

And I'm not familiar with that CPU but it should be fine, if you want to upgrade are there more powerful CPU options in that socket type?

The PSU could be brought down to a 750 easily.

You could bring the vid card down to an nvidia 610 or 640 (740) bring that price down quite a bit.

With 16 gb of ram you can use Windows home premium

Yeah I forgot that the newer i7's haswells consumed less power.....

On my system - with 4 HD's and my i7-3930k and a passive heatsink I wanted to make sure I had enough power.

I am running a 1000w PSU

1600-2400 MHz stock, from what I've read. I can't wait to upgrade!

hhmmm, I have never seen any under 2133 to be more specific. The fastest I have used is 2666 a few times in builds. Its hard to go faster though because the prices skyrocket!

Thanks. I think I dialed it in.

Didn't see a "Home Premium" version of Win 8.1.
