First build planning

[Solid JEZ]

I'm planning to save money for my first Pc over a decade. I've been using laptops since college, and now I want to get a full experience with a custom tower.

I've been seen a lot of videos for custom building pc's on youtube, and been reading a lots of posts.

After all of that, I've selected these parts:

 

CPU Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core $349.89 CPU Cooler Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid $89.99 Motherboard Asus MAXIMUS VII HERO ATX LGA1150 $229.79 Memory Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 $185.51 Storage Corsair Neutron Series GTX 240GB 2.5" SSD $199.99   Western Digital BLACK SERIES 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM $78.98 Video Card Asus GeForce GTX 970 4GB STRIX $398.75   Asus GeForce GTX 970 4GB STRIX $398.75 Case Corsair 750D ATX Full Tower $124.99 Power Supply Corsair 760W ATX12V / EPS12V $209.98 Optical Drive Asus BW-16D1HT Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer $69.99 Operating System Microsoft Windows 8.1 (32/64-bit) $108.51 Case Fan Corsair Air Series SP120 Quiet Edition (2-Pack) 37.9 CFM 120mm $34.99   Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition 67.8 CFM 140mm $15.87   Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition 67.8 CFM 140mm $15.87   Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition 67.8 CFM 140mm $15.87 Keyboard Corsair K70 RGB $189.99

I'm plannig to use this pc as a personal one, and I'll be using it for gaming and CAD modeling mostly without overclocking it. 

 

Any comment is well appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance!

Looks good to me.

whats your screen setup... you should consider getting a single 980. It might be fast enough and leave room to add another one in the future

I'm thinking of getting a single 24" Asus Monitor as a principal display and I already have a 21.5" HP monitor that will be the secondary display.

 

About the two GTX 970, it's a setup that I saw on youtube with linus... and I'm kind undecisive at the moment. So, with this setup, you'd recommend a GTX 980??

Oh absolutely... one GTX 980 will be plenty for a long time!
