1) playing Sims 4, battlefield, dota2
simple programs like microsoft and a little of photoshop
2)sharkoon vs3
1) If playing games and using Photoshop, an i5 is enough as both programs do not benefit much from Hyperthreading in an i7.
2) Nobody sells DDR3-1333 RAM anymore in SLS, get DDR3-1600 RAM instead.
3) If not overclocking, the Intel stock cooler is good enough and you do not need the CM Seidon.
4) Add in a SSD as your boot drive to make your system faster.
5) If not doing RAID, you do not need a H87 motherboard. Get a H81 motherboard instead.
6) Use the $$$ saved to get a R9 280X and enjoy playing Battlefield at max settings.
