Is my first pc build good?

[MichaelScarn]

This build is for gaming at 1080p. I plan on overlocking my CPU in a year or whenever games become more CPU demanding.

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor

GPU: Asus Radeon R9 290 4GB DirectCU II Video Card

PSU: Corsair RM 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 65.0 CFM CPU Cooler

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Case: Fractal Design Define R4 (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower Case

SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

 

Are all these components compatible?

Will they come with all the cables and accessories I need? Do I need to buy fans separate?

What motherboards would work well on my build? what specifications should I be looking for in a motherboard?

You could get away with a 4690K and get a mass storage drive (like a 1TB Seagate Barracuda).

 

I would suggest one of the MSI Z97 Gaming 3, 5, or 7 boards, or one of the regular ATX ASUS ROG boards.

Any Z97 chipset motherboard from ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte...

its all good but Get the Sapphire R9 290 instead of the DCUii one because a lot of people have issues with them.

@MichaelScarn you can check with Corsair's website to find out whether you have enough cables etc. You do have enough, aren't you going to get a mass storage drive? also welcome to the Linus tech tips forum
