See first post, I only changed the core parts.
I have a bootable usb though, so I'm not even sure I'll ever use the cd drive :P

Anyway, IT IS ORDERED!

Looks decent, although I'd have gone for a more powerful GPU (good rule of thumb is that it should cost at least 150% of what your CPU does).  You'll also want to get a non-stock HSF if you ever overclock.

E: Actually, just noticed the mobo isn't a Z87.  Why would you get a CPU designed for overclocking with a mobo that isn't?

Ehh. I figured it'd be okay since it has "87" in the title :v
