Need help and suggestion for building my first gaming PC

Go to solution Solved by BeyondRico,

yes

Okey, yeah then its a good build. butt like the other guys are saying if you are not planning to get another 970 in the future then 750W is a little overkill.

You could save some money on it

i want to build one but im afraid that i choose wrong component, bottlenecking, and overkill

 

Specs:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690k 3.5 Ghz 'devil's canyon'

Motherboard: Asus X97-A

Memory: Kingston hyperX fury 16GB kit 1866Ghz ( choose this instead of the 8GB one because price reason, need suggestion)

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 3TB HDD and samsung 850 evo 250GB SSD

Video Card: MSI GTX 970 gaming 4G

Case: Phanteks enthoo pro full tower

PSU: Cosair Pro series HX 750 watt

Cooling System: CM Nepton 280L liquid water cooling System

 

i want to overclocking it. Want to play AAA games at ultra setting (if i can play it at ultra settings, i can play all types of games smoothly right? atleast i want play witcher 3 smoothly, correct me if im wrong)  , and open 50 tabs on google chrome (habit and to lazy to bookmark)

 

Please Help

Thanks

You won't be able to play ALL AAA games on ultra (especially witcher 3!), however all of them will run smoothly on high/very high for a while.

yeah i know that u need NASA super computer to play withcer 3 on ultra, and i just follow some of linus tips on youtube. can it survived for more than 4 years? thanks for helping

It is definitely usable for the next 4 years, it's just that in 4 years time you'll have to play the latest games on low-medium

Looks really good, but you have too much power for a single GTX 970.  Unless you plan on getting another 970 later, you can drop down to a 500w-650W.

That was a guess Snithczel.  No one knows how advanced the hardware will get in 4 years... it is just a guess.

This is a great system and you have the option to add a second 970 in the future if you dont get enough power out of this beast
