This will be my first pc ever. I have an 8 year old laptop so not much gaming on that shit :(

So it goes like this :

 

CPU - 

Intel® Core i7-4790K 

CPU Cooler -

Cooler Master HYPER 212 EVO 

Motherboard - 

Asus Z97-K

Memory - 

Kingston 2x4GB DDR3 

Storage - 

Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120GB 

Video Card - I will be getting an asus gtx 970 when it's available in my country. in the mean time i will be using the onboard graphics provided by the processor

Case - 

Cooler Master Elite 430

Power Supply - 

Corsair CX600 ATX2.3 80+ 600W

Monitor - 

BenQ RL2455HM

 

I will be adding an hdd in the future so i dont need a bigger ssd. also will be adding a second monitor.

 

The build looks like this https://www.1a.lv/order/shopping_cart?content=HczBAQAgCALAlZDUsPbfK%2B118ICCcOzSbfHrULu5I1slNL1c5WMsrcNbMs6uRNutAQH%2BwDT84Mi5eA%3D%3D

Assuming it's for gaming, you don't need 4790K, an i5 4690K is enough

Heard i5 maxes out when gaming and watching streams/listening to music so i7 is what i need. I've done my research.

Okay if you intend to stream then i7 is viable

should be good but I'd get a better PSU since the CX series is only for testbench builds (well, it's how corsair classifies it anyways) an it's not modular. If it's your first build, I'd really really recommend using atleast a semi modular PSU becauseit's much neater. You can get a CX600M which is semi modular and maybe a 20 dollar difference I think
