Hi I'm planning on upgrading my rig since I bought mine prebuilt *Shudder* so I'm hopefully going to gut it and rebuild it from scratch.

 

This is the link to my current build, see the description if parts are missing:

This is the upgrades I plan on adding/replacing on my rig:

Note: I'm also looking to upgrade my ram to something that fits better preferably red,

I've been looking at the Kingston hyperX Savage 2400MHz, but I'm unsure whether or not if it is compatible, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Urg... your list is really confusing... so you are going to upgrade the CPU cooler to a Kraken X61, another 2TB HDD, the GPU to a 970 and a few fans? I dont think there's any problem with it.but about that PSU, are you upgrading or is it the old one you already have? since that is kinda overkill even if you want to do 2 ways SLI

My rig: Intel Core i7 4790k | MSI Z97 PC Mate | GSKILL Ripjaws X 16GB 1866MHz | ADATA Premier SP550 480GB SSD | Seagate Barracuda 3TB | Seagate Barracuda 2TB  | MSI Gaming X GTX 1070 | Thermaltake Versa N21 | Corsair CX550M Semi Modular PSU | AOC G2460PF 144Hz | Logitech G502 | GSKILL Ripjaws KM780  | GAMDIAS HEPHAESTUS V2  PCPartPicker | Old Build Log | New Build Log

Yeah the repeats in the list are from the previous system The PSU is for expansion overtime.

Sorry about the overly confusing list I personally really don't like PC part picker.

Swap the Corsair psu for the EVGA Supernova G2. A 750W is plenty for GTX 970 SLI.

The Kingston Ram will work ok.
