get rid of the extra fans and upgrade something else

[Guest]

Nice build don't change anything

[TheKDub]

What do you plan to use it for?

 

Overall great build.

[Cokeman]

Great build. Pretty much a top off the line high end gaming PC. Just a little heads up watch out for @AlwaysFSX he for some reason tries to get everyone to not get the 4790K don't listen to him.

He has a point...

i7s offer little to no performance in games and this is a gaming PC.

[TheTacoSniper]

Drop the H100i and get a x41 or x61, it performs better and changes colors :3

[Cheese4395]

It looks pretty solid.

 

Unless you are rendering/editing you really only need a i5-4690k and 8GBs unless you want an i7-4790k and 16GBs which is not really useful for gaming.

 

I think you could use a better motherboard as yours is a little lower end. (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/enthusiast-z97-motherboard-overclock,3893.html) These are the mid-higher end motherboards are better quality and with how much you are spending you should probably invest in one of those.

 

Also you should really up that power supply as I feel that might be a little low for what you have going on.

[monjanger]

What do you plan to use it for?

 

Overall great build.

I do some editing with adobe after affects and my current PC just can't handle it well enough. Also for max settings in games that demand a high end build like watchdogs and possibly some 1440P gaming

[Guest]

Unless you are doing any heavily threaded workloads a i5 would be just as good.

Thanks for the heads up.

[monjanger]

I am doing enough threaded workloads that it is necessary for i7.

[Guest]

Well than have fun.

[TheKDub]

He said he will be using it for some adobe after effects work and gaming, so if he can afford it he might as well go with the i7.

[Cheese4395]

@monjanger just as a suggestion next time you post a build you should inform people that you are using it for editing/rendering as that is really important cause otherwise people will suggest i5s

[G510Gamer]

high end system, good for just about anything you can throw at it

I need that i7 and the 16GB of ram will make my life easier.

Will do.

[MourningSouls]

All looks good to me with the exception of the Corsair fans. Noise to performance on the entire line, especially SP120 QE's, is pretty mediocre.

 

I'd say Akasa Apache or Rosewill Hyerborea's (Same thing) would do quite nicely. You'd save some money too, could buy a pizza and a Slurpee.

 

 

EDITL The G1 series of EVGA PSU's seem to have very mixed opinions, I'd personally go a little overboard on the power and get a 750W G2.

it is really good but do you really need the optical drive?

besides that little tiny complaint it is fine

[failblox]

Personally I'd get rid of the optical drive unless you know for sure you'll be needing it.

nobody uses optical drives these days

[toughtrasher]

I'd suggest an i5 also to save you some cash to get something else. But overall I like the build.

I would get a better case can be corsair too

[brob]

Drop the aftermarket fans and use a good portion of the savings to buy a good psu - SeaSonic SSR-650RM, SeaSonic X660 Gold,  or Corsair HX650. Put the rest into a better motherboard - if you don't mind spending a touch more perhaps the Asus Maximus VII Gene. Otherwise it's a good build.

[AlwaysFSX]

Great build. Pretty much a top off the line high end gaming PC. Just a little heads up watch out for @AlwaysFSX he for some reason tries to get everyone to not get the 4790K don't listen to him.

You've got to be kidding me.
