Hi guys This is my first pc build im going for a pretty beastly build for gaming would these parts do good

I7 4790k

GeForce gtx 970

Windows 7 home premium

Dual fan liquid cooler

Z97 chipset

8gb ddr3 ram

2 tb Sata 3 hard drive

If you're going to spend this much you better be getting an small SSD for at least boot up... :P

Whats the liquid cooler? Also I would personally get another stick of 8gb ram for that budget. Remember to make sure your PSU can handle the system

I mean I guess I could get. A 60 gb sad for boot up but how can I make the system boot on the ssd

Set in bios for the SSD to boot first and put the OS on the SSD

You install the OS on the SSD and you make the SSD primary boot device.

Anyways, I would go for a 1 TB HDD and an SSD.

 

Also, just get Windows 8(.1) already..

Boot speed doesent really bother me aslong as its under a minute

Oh well then don't worry about it man. It just makes your os run a lot smoother for a minimal cost. Not to mention you could just get a 120gb SSD to start and then upgrade to a HDD later when you can. Don't let me talk you into something you're not into thought. I mean WB blue 1tb will always be a good drive. This is just a luxury we have all grown to love that is SSDs lol.

I mean a single should be fine. I have my 8350k slightly overclocked on a 120m water cooler. I still run at great temps.

What's a 8350k?

This is the first time i heard of it.

What is your budget dude?! Perhaps you could have an 980 and a lover cpu which wouldn't bottleneck it and you really need an SSD ..

I don't think there is a 8350k. Amd does not add a k to their fx CPUs. It's the 8350 black.

He said his budget is $600-700 the 980 is a waist IMO.. 2 970s is the way to go at the current prices.. but that's for another thread.
