New Build, Opinions Wanted

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.

 

So I'm posting to ask for your input on the builds I have so far. The first one I created, and the second is one someone else put together.. which is better? If you know how to improve (not downgrade) on either one, please share your suggestions! I really really appreciate them! Thanks! -Adorza :wub:

Get the 5820k over the 5930k. You won't use the lanes of the 5930k and the 5820k is just as strong on the same frequency. Use the saved money maybe foir dual 980 maybe?

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

5820 build. You will need MOAR POWER in cooling like NHD14 or 280mm aio.

Intel Inside. Overweight guy in his 30's outside.

MINE IS BETTER!

 

But you changed the cooler. ...  :(

 

The H105 is better. Or something like a Phanteks Dual tower. 

Aesthetics of rigs matter

I'm afraid of water cooling.. I would't know how to install and do they leak?
