Opinions on Revised Build
My part list has changed significantly from when I was first on this website. After gathering much knowledge over the past few months, I feel confident with sharing my part list on this network. I kept the Haswell Refresh i5 4690K as I feel confident in OC'ing the chip. I have become a bit more flexible with the budget and have increased $200 to $1200. If I can build something better with $1200 let me know, all opinions are accepted and will be looked at! *SSDs are not included but I will be using a Crucial MX100 128GB Boot Drive*

I'll consider it. This would be extremely benificial for a friend who wants an APU build (A10-7850k). I'm glad you're not one of the many people who remarked the S340 "sucked bc no optical drive". I won't need it..
