First time building! How does this look? Any suggestions? Comment?

http://imgur.com/a/IoATk - My current Set Up.

 

I will be playing video games and recording them. I will be streaming to twitch, I will be doing some minor video editing. I'll also be doing some very very minor photoshop work. I'll be coding. The games I'll be playing are almostly all high end triple A games that aren't console exclusive (BF4, Skyrim, Farcry.) I'll also be playing WOW, Runescape, LoL. I have three monitors for this set up. I want to be able to play the games on the middle monitors (At max settings, 60FPS. 1080P), have a twitch stream on one, and chrome open on the other. I really want a powerful computer. Each monitor has D-sub/ DVI-DL(Dual Link) and 2 HDMI inputs. Benq 60hz 1ms response time monitors (RL2455HM). Corsair m65 and k70. I have a blue yeti mic that I will be using and an elgato game capture HD. I'll also be hooking up an xbox one controller from time to time. I'm using a Logitech Z906 as my speaker system too, so I need this PC to have 6-channel direct output for audio. I also am using a pair of Astro A50s.

 

So my question is, How did I do? Would you guys change anything? I cannot wait to finally make my own PC.

I am kind of concerned about the cooler.. Will it be enough if I over clock?

[MattP123]

You might want to consider a higher-end CPU cooler and motherboard. Otherwise looks fantastic. 

[Suffokation]

I am so curious as to why people always use the 212 EVO on high end systems like this.

I mean, if you are willing to get 16GB of ram, two GTX 970's and a 750D why not get a high end cooling solution?

It'd be like buying a Ferrari and then giving it flame decals...

What do you guys recommend I do instead? Which cooler would be better? I figured that's where the issue would be.

Nepton 280L or a Corsair H100i.

If you want air cooling then be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3, if you want an all in one water cooler then a Corsair H100i.

how does the liquid cooling work? Do I have to connect a pump or something to that? Will that end up costing more? What would be best for this PC? Sorry for all the questions, I just really dont want to fuck this up.

[Zach's Tech Tips]

your spending $700 on gpu's and $30 on a cpu cooler. at least go for a high end air cooler or a water cooler especially if your planning on overclocking at some stage

i bought a gtx 980 and a h100i to water cool my cpu (a 5820k)

it has everything just mount the CPU block on the CPU and mount the rad in a free dual 120MM fan slot and you are good to go.

[MattLantis]

H100i for the cooler. That is the best IMO

i hate the desks cable management, i love the setup

good job!

Hahahah don't worry, once this PC is built I am switching everything. The sub is going on the opposite corner and the PC will be in the subs spot, and then I'm hiding all of the wires using those IKEA racks.

Because it simply "works". It's awesome for the money.

Ditch the 750d and get an enthoo pro from phanteks. Much more quality than the 99$ price bracket. I would also ditch the 2 gtx 970's and get a 980.A TON of recording software , streaming software and youtube video's will be hindered by sli at the moment. This has more to do with talking to eachother nicely via drivers vs hardware. I'm a content creator and trust me..you will go through alot of headaches. Unless...you stream or record via a capture card and another pc. Enjoy your truely lossless footage haha! Other than that I would get the

Noctua

NH-D14

for cooling because quiet.

 

Or...the x61 kraken or enermax liqtech 240 because they are also quiet and cool well.
