1. Budget & Location
I have got a Budget at maximum of 1.300Euros, about 1.731$

2. Aim
The Build is mainly used for Gaming but also for alot of school programms

3. Monitors
I am looking forward to have 2 monitors but right now I have 1 monitor 

 

4. Peripherals
Will use my current Windows License. Would need an Optical Drive

5. Why are you upgrading?
I'm upgrading because my current build doesnt fit my needs and I really wanna upgrade.

 

6. Additional Notes?

I'm going to carry on the:

 

GTX TITAN from NVIDIA

SMART SE 730W from Thermaltake
Keyboard G19
G500 from Logitech

64Bit Version fo Windows.

 

 

Already had some ideas about something but here is the list if it can help you:

1x Intel Core i7-4790K
1x MSi Motherboard Gaming 9-AC/ MSI Motherboard Gaming 7 ( Only thing why I looked into it was because it has the ping killer option=
1x GTX TITAN von NVIDIA (nicht die Black Version)
1x Smart SE 730W von Thermaltake
1x Shadow Rock 2 CPu Cooler
2x Kingston HyperX DDR3-RAM (2x 8GB)
1xCooler Master HAF935 schwarz mit Sichtfenster
1x Cooler Master HAF915R
1x Kingston HyperX SSD 120GB intern ( for windows basicly booting system)
2x Western Digital Blue 1TB intern ( one for recording and the other one for gaming, so they should be pretty fast)
 
Would also like to see something abit diffrent to this list to have some nice comparison what fits me better. So you guys know im pretty new so it could be i really took some bad choises there.
7. Anything you really want?
-> 16GB DDR3 RAM so I can always extend to more
-> Watercooling for CPU
-> 1x SSD for my booting system, 1xHDD for recording so pretty fast and 1x HDD for games and Documents
-> Case should be big would really like to stick to the HAF-STACKER
-> I was looking for a pretty good CPU for Gaming Porpuses mainly, but also for editing videos/rendering and for some Technician programms i need for school
 
 
You can also give the recommendations in $ will check up the prize and if really needed will go over the budget about 100Euros or 150
Thx already for the help.
 
 
Nice greets AgenteSoldier

I can't find many of the parts no pcpartpicker.com in Europe, so I'll do my best to comment on it without a price list:

1) Corsair H100i is a great watercooler, and it's probably a good place to start.

(Personally I'd go with a Be Quiet Dark Rock pro 3 or Noctua cooler (I have a fear of the pump failing silently and bad things happening) but it's up to you.)

2)The MX100 is a great choice right now, because of the price (at least in the US) and the Samsung 840 EVO is one that I'd reccomend for a slightly higher price but better performance. Since they're both cheap you might be able to bump up to 256GB.

3)If you were using it for editing I'd suggest something like a WD Black 1TB since it's a higher performing drive.

4)Have you taken a look at the Phanteks Enthoo Primo? It's great value for money and people love it

5) Right now the Intel i7 is the better option, and you'll definitely need the hyperthreading. If you could, I'd suggest you go up to LGA2011 if you're serious about recording, editing and programming, but it wont' fit in your budget. (or most people's, for that matter.)

Remember to be a good citizen and choose a 'best answer' when your problem has been resolved!

(that way people know when a problem's been resolved)

Thx alot @TheRunningOtaku for your reccomends. A question from my side what Motherboard would you more likely recommend me. One from ASUS or one from MSI?

IMO It is better to go for 500GB SSD to storage games and 4TB WD Green for the records. Otherwise go for WD Black if you want fast HDD. And this ping killer option is just marketing for me! :)

The monitor 144HZ is epic for gaming. No need to go with i7 cpu, really.
WD Black is fast. Barracuda is for normal files. SSD is for windows and programs.

You will have to check pricing and availability with local merchants.

 

You will note that I suggest a 1TB ssd. This would be fine for the system and recording. You could likely store most programs on it and use the hdd for material that is not accessed that often.

Thx for the build.

Could you guys also recommend me a 2 monitor build. I have got a GTX TITAN, I think no 2nd GPU needed.

Budget:1.7000$

Could use my current Monitor just as the secondary 1 too. Got a SE Smart 730W Power supply if it has enough ppwer. Otherwise you can recommend me a new PSU.

To be noted im from Rurope so any german or UK website should work fine

Hello there, @AgenteSoldier!

 

Having some pretty good build suggestions to consider, I'd like to add on with a recommendation about the storage.

Since you want 2 x 1 TB HDDs - 1 for archives/recording,1 for gaming and both of them fast:

I'd second other users' opinion about the fast 1 TB WD Black with 7 200 RPM. 

But if you want an even faster HDD for your gaming, I'd suggest to check out WD VelociRaptor 1 TB 3.5" as well:


These drives are designed with around 10 000 RPM spin speed for even higher-performance computing and run cooler than most high-end drives.

 

Hope you find this useful. 

 

SuperSoph_WD

I hope I can help with any storage issues that you may have!  ;)

if you want nvidia throw away the titan 780 and 780ti are faster and better priced

you will only have benefits from your ssd if your games are on it otherwise loadings etc will not be affected go for 250gb at least then or get a 2nd ssd.

The thing about the titan is I already have it in my current system and im not sure if throwing away a 1000euro card that is only brrn used 1year is a good idea.
