Final Stages.

[Ben Mahomed]

So I recently decided to put a build together. 

I live in Melbourne, Australia and my budget for the build is $2000 max.

I am using this build for general gaming and browsing etc. Occasional photo editing. But I am looking for this build to run the new games at the highest settings possible. I would also like this build to last me a while as I don't want to have to upgrade this PC in the near future. 

I will be running a Asus VS278H 27" LED LCD Monitor 1ms. My keyboard is a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth 2014 and my mouse is a Razer Deathadder 2013.

Anyway here is the part list. All feedback is welcomed

Why not a 4790K and Noctua NH-D15?

Edit: the NH-D15 is cheaper and cools better.

It's also nearly silent unlike the H100i, and lasts far far longer (less parts which can fail)

Maybe the 4790k. But the store I'm getting these parts form don't have the NH-D15.

i see well that sucks, go with the H100i but be sure to replace the stock fans.

Are you doing major overclocking? If not something like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo would be more worth it

Not huge overclock, maybe 4,0GHz max. Nothing on the GPU.

What about the Hyper 212x Universal CPU Cooler? Or the NH-D14? The store I'm getting these from have both.

I think the 212x is slightly better than the 212 Evo, so I'd suggest getting it

The NH-D14 is way way better than the 212x, in fact it's better than the H100i
