First build for gaming

[TT0]

Hello, 

First, sorry if my English is not perfect as i live in Uruguay.

The build is going to be exclusively for gaming, games from Minecraft to BF4.

I can spend a maximum of 1000 US dollars, I´m going to buy everything in the United States.

I´m going to use one 1080p monitor.

I have all the peripherals.

I currently have a notebook so i can´t reuse any parts.

I won´t do any overclocking.

I can only buy online from Amazon, Ncix or Newegg.

Case(I already bought it): Cooler Master Storm Scout 2 Advanced

Processor: i5 4690k

Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 5

RAM: G.Skill 8gb 2x4gb 1866Mhz

Storage: 1TB WD Blue

Video Card: Gtx 970

Power supply: Evga SuperNova 650 Watts Gold

Please give me your opinions and recommend me which gtx 970 should i buy(preferably black or red).

I also plan on buying an ssd and maybe a cpu cooler in a couple of months.

I have around 5 days to buy everything, maybe a bit more for the video card as most of them are out of stock.

Very good build .. get the strix 970 or EVGA

If you aren't doing overclocking then get a 4690 not 4690K, and an H or B series board instead of Z. Otherwise it's good. I recommend the Gigabyte G1 970. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/33xvmG Do this @TT0

Actually at the moment the i5 4690k is cheaper so thats why I´m buying it.

I was thinking between the Strix the Evga o maybe the Msi, but I´ll probably go with the Evga FTW if i can find it in stock. 

I´m mostly going with the z97 gaming 5 for the looks and to leave room for upgrades.

Thanks for the replies.

Thanks for the help! I´ll think about that.

In my opinion the Gigabyte G1 is the best 970 and the best 980. I have the 980. They overclock like hell they have been binned.

Btw mi padre es Uruguayo! Bienvenido al forum!

 

That is a very good build. I say go for it. The only thing I would change is the motherboard to a similarly priced ASRock extreme 4 or an ASUS Z97-A. I like those boards better than the MSI board.

MSI uses these little flat capacitors around the CPU and they have a shorter lifespan than normal solid caps.
