I prefer liquid PCs personally

Wtf is a liquid pc... you mean liquid cooled... on a 800$ budget it's not worth it... closed loops are okay but there is absolutely no point unless you are going to OC or you want a completely silent rig... and even then at the current price of a closed loop you might as well go for a custom loop... best closed loops = ~ 100$... an introductory open loop will run you ~ 150$... then later you can add in some other parts

Set aside another $500-$800 for a good custom loop.

Thanks for the input, guys. I've gone with the original mobo with the red case, gonna pick it up later.
Haven't ordered the other parts yet but I've just read an article about the GTX 970 not actually being up to spec. I was considering looking into a 4K monitor at some point but apparently there are problems?

It's fine honestly... if there is something actually wrong with it the companies will made it right.. they are nvidia cards.. they are pretty honest about this shit... I'd still get one.

Cool. Fairly uncertain that I'd get one, but just wanted to make sure.
Alright, thanks for all your help. Ordering the rest tonight!

If you need any help or have any questsions when building feel free to pm me

Also make sure u dun confuse Urself,
Card's performance itself is still godly, working as advertised.
The spec on the box, such as the l2 cache etc. is written wrong, however it has no downside affect on current and previous performance in games. If it says Ur getting 80 fps in bf4, Ur getting 80, not 10,20,30, because of a typo on box.

Yeah, I read a bit more about it and ordered it. I'm probably not going to be doing anything super intensive too much anyways
