People who build their first computer but then pay extra for a company to actually build and ship it, i always would want to build my own pc. I exactly know how it was built, where everything was put and built to my high standards for most things

Budget is a personal thing i try not to say what's 'right' but for me, you spend money on fans that make a direct performance difference (Heatsinks, rads, front and side intake if it goes torwards the GPU) I don't think you would see a difference at all with top and rear fans, so I would put 2 venturis on the front, and populate the rest of the case with stock fans, which are totally decent by the way.
 
EDIT
 
Just noticed you plan on getting the airflow version, get the high SP version for front intake, and while we are at it, AP123s from silverstone are great and super quiet front intake fans, and i believe they are not as expensive as venturis

about apple and taylor swift

It actually is a really easy installation if you have a pair of needle nose laying around to use.

Well you only have to install it once and then it is there for however long so imo yes!

great, but this cooler is a hassle to install...that's the only negative thing about it though...it's nice...just take your time to mount it properly...everything else are good choices.

I made some adjustments, hopefully it's all good now

I changed the cooler, SSD, RAM and PSU

 

Cooler: Be Quiet! Dark Rock pro 3

SSD: Samsung EVO 850 Series 250GB

RAM: Hyperx fury black edition 16GB (2x 4GB) 1600MHz

PSU: Seasonic S12G-650 650W 80+ Gold

Great CPU.
 
Wasting money on that RAM.
 
Seems like a good motherboard, but could probably spend less and get the same stuff.
 
Great choice on Graphics Card.
 
Standard HDD, so that's ok, probably not enough space for video/photo editing.
 
You could save money elsewhere and get a better SSD.
 
CPU cooler will work, but don't expect a great overclock with low temps.
 
PSU looks to be enough power, not the best, not worth upgrading though.
 
My recommendation? ...
 
Get lower speed RAM, all that 1866 speed crap is not going to be noticeable compared to 1333 or 1600. so you are wasting $100 for "more speed".
 
Get a different motherboard with the same features, you will still get a quality motherboard, just at about 2/3 the price.
 
With all that saved money... Buy a AIO CPU Cooler, and a better quality SSD.

He mentions game making and photo./video editing and you tell him to get a an i5. Sure for gaming i5 is fine. But that's not the only thing hes doing.
 
Build looks good to me.Unless your going to be overclocking very high cooler should be fine

This is my first build, it will be used for some creation (game making), gaming, video/photo editing and the usual
 
CPU:                               Intel i7 4790K
RAM:                               Hyper x Fury Series (16GB 2x 8GB) DDR3 1866MHz
Motherboard:                  Asus-Tek Computer Z97-Pro GamerATX
GPU:                               EVGA GTX 970 Superclocked ACX Cooler 2.0 4GB VRAM
HDD:                               1TB Caviar Black 
SSD:                               Kingston Technology 240GB Drive 2.5inch V300
Cooling:                           Cooler Master Hyper 412s
PSU:                               Corsair builder series CXM 500w Semi-Modular
Case:                              Fractal Design-Define R4
 
The one thing that i'm not sure about is the cooler, will it be sufficient for the CPU especially when under load
 
Thanks for any replies

I want a 300$ pc .. but I want it to look good.

I took a 4790k cus it can be oc'd. but im not going to. because im scared of oc

Fanboys, who wont consider another brand (even if that other brand might perform better or just as good for less)
You know what I am talking about...

You shouldn't use Cpuboss. Their comparisons are highly inaccurate.  The new cpu will technically be a downgrade, but not by much. The 2630qm is a proper quadcore, while the 4200m is a hyperthreaded dual core. You won't notice it at all in real world applications. If you plan on using the laptop as a desktop replacement though, you might want to go with the i7.

Obligatory "get a 280 instead" post.
 
Also that PSU is way overkill. you'll need a 550W tops for what you're doing.

I did some research and found a data table showing results on testing 
 
Performance Benchmark performance using all cores   Core i7 2630QM 7.8   Core i5 4200M 7.1 Passmark, GeekBench (32-bit) and GeekBench (64-bit)   Single-Core Performance Individual core benchmark performance   Core i7 2630QM 7.9   Core i5 4200M 8.7 Passmark (Single Core)   Power Consumption How much power does the processor require?   Core i7 2630QM 5.2   Core i5 4200M 5.3 TDP   Features How does CPUBoss rank the features of each product?   Core i7 2630QM 6.6   Core i5 4200M 5.6 Features and specifications that differ between products   CPUBoss Score Performance, Single-core Performance, Power Consumption and Features   Core i7 2630QM 7.2   Core i5 4200M 7.1  
 
 
 
I found this on CPU Boss and it shows that in all of them the i7 wins (except individual core benchmark and temperature) but not by much, plus the final score was,
i7 = 7.2
i5 = 7.1
So from the data virtually no difference in the overall score but i havn't either of these processors, so i can only go on with the data. Hope this helped

Looks good. The cooling performance will largely depend on how much you overclock. Under stock settings don't sweat it.

Pivot? ?

I thought you said model for some reason. Disregard

"Upgrade-ability" is overused when talking about Apple PCs. Most people who buy a computer from a store in the first place have no intention of upgrading it - they just buy a new one after about 5 years. 
 
Also, it's hard to call this overpriced when it has a monitor of this spec. I get that some people can't afford them or would say "Just BUILD one, way better value!" - but this is the case with *all* prebuilts and it, of course, is a better value proposition to build a computer. 

lol your 2 posts are both for giveaways 

No, but I will probably start construction this weekend. All the parts made out of MDF will be cut and glued together, will post some pictures as soon as possible.
 
Edit: Forgot to take any pictures
