LAN Party Style Build

[JoeKer]

Hi I'm building a PC that will be more portable than my last. Thanks for anyone who looks at this. Suggestions are most welcome. This is my second build ever, first on the Intel platform. My first was a complete and build. I decided to give Intel and nvidia a go because of performance issues on some of my favorite games. These are going to be the specs

Intel Core i5 4690k

Asus ROG MAXIMUS VII IMPACT

16gb Corsair Vengeance Pro 1866mhz CL9

Crucial M4 SSD and WD 1TB BLUE 7200rpm

Corsair RM650 power supply

Corsair h55 water cooling system

Noctua fans

Corsair graphite 340T black

Asus GTX 660 2gb gddr5

thanks for looking... Any suggestions are welcome

I would go with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125706&cm_re=GTX970-_-14-125-706-_-Product

for the Graphics card 

And i think you meant the Corsair 380T

other then that It looks ok

Cut down the price on the motherboard and get 8gb or ram. put some cash into your GPU.

Only thing I'd say is that the 660 is kinda weak and why would you spend so much more on the processor if you do go with the 660?

Hey JoeKer,

 

If you are using this build purely for gaming, you probably wouldn't need that much memory. 2x4GB would be perfectly fine. Also, when it comes to gaming, your highest priority should be the GPU. If your budget is limited, I would suggest not overclocking that i5 (stock would be more than enough for gaming) and drop to a non-k version, omit the CPU Cooler and drop to a H97 motherboard. This would allow you to put more funds towards the GPU. 

PSU-wise, you would be perfectly fine with a 500W gold-certified power supply as Intel builds tend to be very energy-efficient.

Thank you all for the suggestions... Few more details... My budget is 2500. The reason behind the 660 is the fact its sitting in my current PC. I also have an r9 270x laying around. I don't plan on buying a GPU til the next generation come out
