Building my first PC to welcome in Fallout 4.

Sounds good, I just recently built a gaming rig which I love. I would definitely go with an i5 4690(K) depending if you want to overclock or not. I have the OC version of this CPU and its still at stock speeds but it is amazing and handles everything I throw at it. Some times I even render videos at 1080p and still play City Skylines or other simple games to pass the time. I built something simliar to what I posted below but let me know if you have any questions!
