Ah so it would be wise to purchase one of the cards now?

Will the price of the 970 and 980 cards drop with the release of the new 980 Ti? (a beast btw). I am looking to pick one of the two cards above ) Thanks, Choony (EDIT: If price does drop, will it also drop in New Zealand)

Thanks all for suggestions! I think I will opt in for the Gaming 5 and the X61

Something like the Asus Z97-A? I just liked the red and overclocking options.

Heres my build currently http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/p/hxmGYJ I'm planning to overclock my processor slightly as I am quite new to overclocking. A stable 70C or below will be ideal.and at 4.4 GHz or more. $150 NZD -$250 Black with RGB would be nice I'm currently looking at the Corsair H100i or the NZXT Kraken x61 (EDIT: can the x61 change colours)

Well before posting my whole system (which is not complete yet) I'll post what i have currently, a Samsung 840 Pro 500 GB SSD, 2 hdds, a noctua d15 (not fond of water cooling), a seasonic x-750w and an Asus Maximus Vii Hero, just had extra from my budget and needed to know if i should have gone with i5 or i7 etc etc

is the g1 gigabyte 980 not good enough ;_;

Title. Please post answers and your opinions. Corsair lp ram just in case you need to know This is a gaming based rig for games like bf4 and shadow of Mordor at 1080p ultra high

But i'm overclocking this system, does this still not matter?

Thanks for all your suggestions! I have now reduced the price down to $2855. Thanks once again

The phantom 530 only comes with 2 fans

Is this a good futureproof gaming system. I want this to last at least 3 years maxing out all the games at 60 fps+ *And I want to somehow reduce this build to $2900 or less if possible* All prices are in NZD CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($319.00 @ PC Force) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler ($177.00 @ Paradigm PCs) Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VII HERO ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($335.00 @ PC Force) Memory: Corsair Vengeance LP 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($249.00 @ Paradigm PCs) Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($109.00 @ 1stWave Technologies) Storage: Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($149.00 @ PC Force) Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 4GB WINDFORCE Video Card ($603.75 @ PC Force) Case: NZXT Phantom 530 (Black) ATX Full Tower Case ($229.00 @ PC Force) Power Supply: Corsair CSM 750W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($172.50 @ PB Technologies) Monitor: Asus VG248QE 144Hz 24.0" Monitor ($556.14 @ Aquila Technology) Case Fan: Corsair Air Series SP120 High Performance Edition (2-Pack) 62.7 CFM 120mm Fans ($59.00 @ PC Force) Case Fan: Corsair Air Series AF120 White 52.2 CFM 120mm Fan ($22.35 @ Ascent Technology) Case Fan: Corsair Air Series AF120 White 52.2 CFM 120mm Fan ($22.35 @ Ascent Technology) Case Fan: Corsair Air Series AF120 White 52.2 CFM 120mm Fan ($22.35 @ Ascent Technology) Case Fan: Corsair Air Series AF140 Red 66.4 CFM 140mm Fan ($26.08 @ Ascent Technology) Case Fan: Corsair Air Series AF140 Red 66.4 CFM 140mm Fan ($26.08 @ Ascent Technology) Case Fan: Corsair Air Series AF140 Red 66.4 CFM 140mm Fan ($26.08 @ Ascent Technology) Total: $3103.68 All prices are in NZD

Thanks! I will go with the latter.

Could someone link me a triple monitor stand that is purchasable from a New Zealand retailer? This is to save on the $100 shipping from Amazon. My budget for the stand is up to $200 (All prices please be in NZD) The VESA mounts are for the Asus VE247H

This build will be used for playing all games at max settings and 60+ FPS Games like Bioshock Infinite, Metro Last Light and Lords of the Fallen will be played often however games like Crysis 3 and Battlefield 4 will also be played occasionally. My current budget for the parts is around $2500 NZD (New Zealand Dollar) all together. This includes shipping, tax and other fees. THIS IS NOT USD I will be building this system most likely during the New Year or past (Jan 10th-15th) as that is when I have a lot of spare time I will need everything needed in a computer: CPU, Graphics Card, Motherboard, Cpu Cooler. However I will not need an OS, or any peripherals As stated in the title, all parts will be sent to New Zealand. But I can order from Amazon, Newegg etc as long as it's the cheapest option. I will be reusing 2 HP Pavilion 20fi monitors, I know this is not an ideal gaming monitor but I would rather have extra performance then new monitors, As for my keyboard I will be using a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2014, mouse will be the Logitech G502 Core and my headset will be a Logitech G930 I will be overclocking both the CPU and the GPU, but not by much, only enough to achieve 60 FPS+ Max Settings I wouldn't mind having an unlocked CPU like an i7 4790K however that isn't a major point. A black and red theme is what i'm going with this build. Red LED'S, a black case and etc. I already have Windows 8.1 Extra Notes: I would love to have a GTX 970 in this build as it is an amazing card for the price.
