Any reason why you need that monitor specifically? It's fairly expensive, so I'd change to a ASUS monitor with similar spec instead (144Hz Refresh rate as well)

People say it is the best gaming monitor what is out there right now and they also say it is worth the money

 

Why do you suggsest the Segeta Barracuda and not a WD Black like alot of people do?

 

Btw the X61 is not available and will not be worth the importing. So should I go for a H110 from Corsair then?

2-3questions:

Should I go with the H110 instead of the H105?

What do you think about the MSI GAMING 9AC?

Why do you guys and other more likely suggsest the Segeta Hard Drive over the WD Black?

The H105 and H110 are pretty similar in performance, so either is good.

 

The Gigabyte Sniper is a great gaming board, and it has excellent onboard sound. The MSI is pretty pricey at $259 so unless you need the features then you are overspending.

 

The WD Black drives are better if you are building a workstation type pc. For a gaming pc then the WD Blue or Seagate Barracuda is fine.

If your objective is to do video editing i would recomend the 5820k its a 6 core and ot supports ddr4 ram for extra speed

Mmm... Spec wise it's not different from ASUS So there may be something Idk about there so try to look up the review of both before you decided

No particular reason. Seagate Barracuda work for me pretty well (I own 2 of them) while being cheaper compare to the WD Black, so I usually go with the Seagate as my default choice

H110 is good too. I like Corsair Link X61 is better but if you dont have that option then X61 is ok

As an owner of the 9AC, I would ask you why that board and not the 7, It's a good board and I was going to get the 7 myself but found a great deal on the 9AC, i7 4790K will give you plenty for video editing, the H105 is a good cooler (probably a little overkill, I bought one because it was cheaper than the H100i), if your video editing you may want to look for a good quality IPS panel if your dealing with accurate colour work, a 780 from Evga or MSI would be a good choice, for the PSU have a look at the Evga 750G2, I'd recommend 16Gb of fairly quick RAM (1866+) I would recommend good quality fans (hard to go wrong with Noctua or Be Quiet) Seagate Barracuda is a good drive and an SSD would be a good idea (Samsung EVO 120GB or Crucial MX100 128GB), for the case either the Corsair Air 540 or NZXT H440 would be a good choice. Hope this helps

[Devastion]

I think Intel Core i5 will fit better. When you will overclock it will be good as Intel Core i7 in gaming, even better sometimes. Go for WD Black series HDD if you want to store games om the HDD and play them. If you want HDD only for storage (music, videos etc) go for Green or Blue. They are more quiet. Samsung 840 PRO Series are better than EVO. If you are playing @1080p I think 780 Ti will be better than 290x, but if you want to play on 4K 290x wins. Good luck, M8!

Better go 1080P @ 144Hz than 4K on 60Hz.
