Good Build?

[Adorza]

Hello, I don't know a whole lot about computers.. I've only recently gotten the obsession of building my first gaming rig. I've spent whole days, from the moment I get up until I go to sleep for weeks just watching review after review and reading forum after forum to find out exactly what I want. I've never had better than a wal-mart-stock-computer quality pc/laptop and I'm finally in a position where I can save up to really treat myself.

 

I love gaming and want to play almost any game my heart desires on high/ultra settings. I also have the intentions of starting a youtube channel and want to be able to video edit.. as well as look into graphic design. I've asked for a lot of input on my build and so far everyone has been giving me advice like "you really don't need that.. get this, it's cheaper." ..And while I do want to stay under $2300, I'm not looking to "save" or "settle". I really want the best I can get for that much.

 

I just want a thumbs up or thumbs down and if you have any suggestions, I'd really really appreciate it! Thanks! -Adorza :wub:

(UPDATE: I put in 3TB barracuda and removed windows because I plan on getting Windows 10)

No SSD? No windows 8?

Get the 5820K its the same CPU with less PCIE lanes. You don't need them.

 

Grab a nice fat SSD with the money saved.

 

Get the Supernova G2 or P2 series not NEX.

 

You're gonna need a better CPU cooler. NHD14 at least.

@Adorza, I would recommend you get a 5820k and maybe a VS750M or CS750M instead. Then I'm going to get a better CPU Cooler. You can also get a 3TB Barracuda instead of the WD Black. That's my opinion on this but it's still a good build.

Yeah. Give me 20 minutes to make that build MUCh better.

Similar 6 core CPU, with much better OCing potential with an H105. Better GTX 970s. Beautiful PSU. Upgraded Case. Great aesthetics and color matching.

This is the first time someone's made another build for me that I'm really impressed with and considering
