Hi PMC, I am CustomCrafted (Leader of ArzoCraft buildteam) and I want to make a new custom build, except I am torn apart by a few different models xD.

Things I wil be doing with the PC:
_Minecraft: building with High Def shaders
-Minecraft: Recording Cinematics & timelapses
-Video editing
-Skyrim
-Assassins Creed Unity

My budget is $1200 (including Screen)

My builds:

I had originally chosen the Intel Core i7-4790K & ASRock H97 PRO4 ATX

There is a poll, can you possibly pick a PC choice and a motherboard and comment them down bellow

If you have any alternates, please tell me, I am desperate to find out good ones

Left you some money for a monitor of your choice, I don't know much about them, and the Zalman cases are very good I've worked with them a lot.

The "Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core, 8GB RAM [MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB] [PC]" option and the "Asus H97-PLUS ATX LGA1150 [Motherboard]" option.
Without a doubt.

Yeah, no. Why would you get an unlocked CPU and stick it in a motherboard you can't use to overclock?

And OP, what happened to your build competition?

Then why give him an unlocked cpu, you cant use it with a motherboard that wont allow you to overclock, its just a waste.
