New pc

[Yona Bergman]

I am close to buying all the parts for my first pc. It would be great for advice and tips on this build.

This is the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/L8nWK8

My budget is 2355.44

Waste of money, let me see what I can do with it.

 

Also, what is the use of the computer?

What's the system being used for? 

Why a full tower? Are you planning to sli?

You need to update the motherboard's bios to use the 4790k. It's probably not going to work out of the box without one. 

Is the optical drive really necessary? That's an old ssd.. There are many better alternatives available.

Why high frequency TN instead of better looking IPS panels? What's with the vga splitter?

You can't just ask for help and not reply.

I am going to use the computer for high definition gaming.
