How about 2tb wd blue drive and MSI Gaming 7 motherboard and a 290 tri-x or vapor-x other than thats it's solid build! Oh and 2400MHz ram? You could get 1866 Kingston Fury or G.Skill Rip Jaws or Patriot Viper

Downgrade the drive to a 2tb seagate, and the cooler to someone woth balls to get dem juicy 4GHz overclocks. That ram is totally overproced and useless in a build like this. Switch it out for some solid HyperX.

[MeepLikesToBuildPc's]

yeah, take some hyperX ram, not too expensive and they are good

[gabbdogg]

Good thing he didn't get the parts yet. My friend says thanks for the suggestions!

H100i kicks the shit of everything as far as legendary reliability and performance goes. Ive built 3 h100i systems for friends at school and all there pcs are running fine. 2 had the 4670k, one with a 8350.

[athesean1]

[athesean1]

msi is a good choice for that build, good luck

[natelliot123]

why don't u spend little less on cpu cooler and mobo ,case and put some more money on gpu?

afterall gpu affects directly to gaming experience,i would suggest gtx 970

games are getting bigger try getting 2 or 3tb hdd ,any z97 board give almost similar overclocking,get  asus a or msi gaming 5 or gigabyte z97 sli, or ud3h
