Ultimate Gaming PC

[King_Gamma]

Hey guys I am going to build my own PC real soon. This is my first build so I need all the suggestions possible! For my budget I have $1800 and I live in the US. 

 

I want to be able to game the latest games on Ultra settings. I will do some 3D modeling, so I can make use of the 4790k. I'll do a little overclokcking as well. I will need to connect to the internet wirelessly (unfortunately). 

 

Thanks for helping me out with this build!

 

EDIT : Forgot to say I already bought this power supply for $59.99.  http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K85X2AW/?tag=pcpapi-20

Since you already have a PSU.

 

Also just get a random usb thingy.

It's kinda difficult to figure out what you need since I don't know your preferences and storage needs or future plans but here's a build I like. It has looks, power, and value. The motherboard has 802.11ac for your wireless needs as you specified, plus as an added bonus Asus has some of the best BIOS and top notch quality. I like to store all my games and programs on an SSD so I went with something more overkill and picked a 512GB SSD, the most value oriented one in terms of features and GB/$1. However if you need more graphics horsepower you can swap that out for something 240-256 GB and upgrade the graphics to a 780ti. The power supply has enough wattage to allow for SLI and over clocking. I choose the h100i as its performance is pretty good while keeping awesome aesthetics although if you wanna get a better cooler just go with Noctua's NH-D15. The case it will be in is top of the line yet pretty good price for its value. It is build to be a silent case with good water cooling options and generally awesome features. Lastly those 16GB of ram is the cheapest per gigabyte.

R9 290x because it's like 200$ cheaper than the 780 ti and performs similarly.

H440 because it's sexy as hell.

The motherboard already comes with high quality wireless, way better than any card you can buy. If you have any questions just ask This will be a crazy gaming rig...

Does that mean your budget is still 1800? If so that means you can really go nuts on this system. You might even benefit from LGA 2011 since you said you'll be doing some 3D work.

Thats almost the same as my gaming build list, but i'm planning on a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H ATX LGA1150 Motherboard, should I consider asus instead? 

[P e r s e p h o n e]

Thats almost the same as my gaming build list, but i'm planning on a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H ATX LGA1150 Motherboard, should I consider asus instead? 

Well the Asus board I choose is more expensive. Generally the Asus BIOS is better and Asus' quality is pretty good but Gigabyte is a quality product as well. I suppose here you want to ask if it's worth the extra bucks for the onboard wifi and Asus' BIOS.
