You can get adata ssd cheaper and where did you get an idea that corsair af140 fans would be better than noctua? Noctua fans are better. Also change psu to a evga g1 650 psu

that PSU is kinda overkill for a single GPU 600 watts is the highest you should go

 

get the 4690k and a Z97 board like the MSI Z97 Gaming 5

Welcome to Linus Tech Tips! That's actually really good. However some things I'd suggest:

 

Get a R9 290 instead. Cheaper and better down the road

Don't replace the Noctua fans on the cooler, they're Noctua and Noctua is a known brand for a reason.

You could get the U14S instead of the D14. It looks nicer (IMO), has more RAM clearance, and easier to clean/maintain. You'll only lose a degree or two in cooling performance

Also, you can get Windows 8.1 on G2A for 20 bucks or so.

 

Overall it's a really good PC that'll do great in games and be a good overclocker

1. yes
2. yes, luck of the draw, but 4GHz is reasonably common
3. NO! NO! NO! NO!

You don't need an 860W psu for this build. A 650W would be more than sufficient.

 

Consider getting Windows 8.1. It will have a longer useful life.

 

Did you check to see if you could get an i5-4690K and Z97 GD45?

 

Most G.Skill memory are too tall to fit under the NH-D14 fan which overhangs memory. Consider getting the NH-U14S or NH-U12S.

Hey there, 

 

Just one thing about the HDD. WD Blue is a great drive and would do a great job for you. However, if you are going for some heavy-duty gaming off the HDD, I would suggest you look at WD's Black series. They are designed specifically for gaming and offer great performance. Here's a link to check them out:

Hope this helps,
