Hi everyone! :D

So I am looking for new computer. I have some beat up box probably around 10 years old at home so i can't do anything serious on except play nfsund2 from start every year :D Few months back i destroyed laptop graphic card and it's not worth repairing so i figured it out it was time to get me a new computer. I found Linus tech tips on youtube so i told myself why not build myself brand new black box :) This is build I put together but I need comfirmation if its good all around. I need it for casual playing games, Solidworks and NX, watching anime and that is about all I do on computer :D Tell me what do you think.

Get a Z97 motherboard if you get the 4690k and don't get the ASUS R9 280, get MSI or Sapphire instead.

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Do the first build and get a Z97 board. It's not required for the CPU but it is recommended and for a Z87 you need a bios update. I have hears of people who used 4690Ks and 4790Ks on Z87 boards and it set the voltage to 1.54 volts and killed their cpu

Oh really? Excessive voltage killing CPUs, never heard of that one before.
