Project Orion

[Wrightbk]

So heres a build i've been working on for a bit now. (About 2 or 3 months of planning.) The LinusTechTips community has helped me before so I ask for you to help me once more. 

 

I plan on using this for Gaming and possibly Editing,Recording,And streaming in the future. 

 

I want to play alot of games. Like Battlefield and Counter strike and other games coming soon. Like the "The Crew."

 

Hers the build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/m9FzXL

 

So what do you guys think?

 

(Sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes.)

Get a 4790k instead. 

I'd also go for an H440 or Enthoo Pro instead of the R4. 

I'm assuming the editing/streaming/rendering you're going to do benefits from Cuda/Shadow play/Gamestream. If it doesn't, then go for a Sapphire Tri-X R9 290. If you do actually need Nvidia, I would personally go for a 780 before I spend money on fans.

I dont really need a 780. A 770 will do fine and save me about 200-300 $

Are you going to be gaming on all 3 monitors ? 

 

Also, why all the fans ? You are spending more on fans than you are on the case.

@Wrightbk,

 

I would suggest the 500MHz faster i7-4790K cpu on a motherboard that has on-board WiFi and Bluetooth.

 

The Asus Z97 motherboards have a heatsink that protrudes past the edge of the motherboard. The H100i is a tight fit in an R4 in any case, and this might cause additional issues. If you wish to keep the R4, it is a nice case after all, then go with something like the H80i.

 

AMD gpu are a better value at the moment. I would suggest an R9 290X instead of the GTX 780, it is just a few dollars more.

 

The fans are, IMO an utter waste. If stock fans are not good enough, buy a better case and/or cooler.
