Hi, I'm Jayden. I'm from Australia, and I want to build my first gaming pc. I would love it to be under $2000 but I also want it to look amazing and still perform good. I'm basing my build at PC Case Gear.

 

I do not want a Solid State Drive at the moment for money saving reasons. But when I get money I WILL GET ONE :)

 

I have a cart here: http://www.pccasegear.com/sc/vk5

 

Please check it out and give me feedback on what I should change.

Follow your threads and quote other members whose help you want :D

 

 

That PC is terribly unbalanced... 4690k with 750ti... You definitely don't need WD Black, get something a lot cheaper, like Seagate Barracuda!

And do you really need custom watercooling O.o You'd better get a better GPU, like 970, if you want to game :D

 

Also, are you a Razer fan, since you want to pay more for your case than for your GPU....

 

EDIT: Didn't pay attention... Seriously, H97 mobo with a K CPU... Like i said, terribly unbalanced....

I would never put that PSU near my components I rather Cooler Master V650 or EVGA SuperNOVA 650G1 cheaper and better!

ok, I want a custom water cooled system because of the looks, plus the benefits of one. I am a huge razer fan. If you can suggest a better motherboard, graphics card and cpu, please do so at pc case gear. :).      I also want to game so specs are also important to me

also, would it be worth getting a gold 600w psu?

EVGA SuperNOVA 650G1 Gold or Corsair RM650

Thank you athesean1, I will take a lot of considerations to your suggestions like the storage, motherboard, ram and psu. But the graphics card; I don't think I need a 4gig model at the moment because that would be more for when I have a larger screen or two. I only have a 24inch 1080p. I don't think I will need a 4gig model.

Try this, you can add another 970 later, that's why i put 850W PSU (it's overkill for 970 SLI, but i'm taking into account you'll OC them :D)

 

Newer games need more Vram even for 1080p...

Why O.o

 

Well, you really don't, you can buy 750Ti, but be prepared to be unable to play games on even medium in 1-2 years.....

 

970 will last you around 3 years on high resolution gaming....

what about this? Gigabyte Radeon R9 280 Overclocked 3GB

 

I would feel a lot more comfortable with this
