New gaming PC

[Rohan.Le.Roux]

Hey guys, I'm currently planing an upcoming build. After much thought I've narrowed my choices down to their availability in my region. I'd appreciate it if you could give me feedback and/or suggestions. My only concern is that my GPU won't actually fit inside the case (further validation required, please). Please do note that price isn't really to big of a deal. I'm planning on going on an overall white/black/red/silver theme.

 

CPU:

Intel i7 4790K (Decent price, specs and overall performance and power consumption)

Get a i5 for gaming, it's as good as the i7 when gaming.

Get an i5 instead and trust me, you don't need a Maximus VII motherboard. I would strongly suggest getting one of the cheaper models instead. With the money saved, buy a 250GB SSD.

The above are decent suggestions for saving price, if you've the money and desire to purchase that MOBO purely for it's looks then all well and dandy, and if you'll be using that extra power from the i7 go for it.

 

If just gaming though what the others said would be more cost efficient.
