Build Help

[PB3]

I have two options.

 

Right now I have an i7-4790K and RAM that I can use. However, the RAM is kind of shit so I think I'm going to get some new RAM, however, to balance chat, I would like to maybe cheapen up on storage. Here's the list I have planned around them. My budget is about $1200. Is it good?

What is the build for?

Why are you not using the 4790K?

No gaming? No GPU?

Crap PSU

EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE CPU (you could get a 7700K and a Z270 motherboard for that much!!)

Why 2 bare HDDs (no metal casing, designed for OEM installation) and why 2 1TB instead of 1 2TB (cheaper)????

[elBarto]

if you have a 4790k why are you downgrading to an 2600k?

[Light-Yagami]

aaahhh yeah so this makes no sense..4790k is a superior chip, use that one.. (why would you buy an older chip anyways?) Change to 1 2tb drive. You're making me believe that you don't really own and run a 4790k if you're considering something old as 2600k as a viable option.

What memory (RAM) do you have, i.e. why don't you like it?

How about posting a pcpartpicker list of your current system. (You can usually type in the model number in search to find older components.) Don't worry about price.

It's not custom built.
