CPU Cooler : Corsair H100i

CPU Cooler : Corsair H100

The h100i is good but if you dont need corsair link and if you are going to overclock go with a h105 or 110 it has better performance. And if you have enough money to get a 850 pro or evo those are great drive and new v-nand.

Whats your whole budget and for what will the PC be used for?

All parts are compatible. Here is some advice..

 

2x8 8GB RAM sticks (Dual Channel) is better because it save two RAM slots which will allow you to upgrade to 32GB's in the future.

For the power supply 1050W is too much especially due to the fact that the GTX 970 is very power efficient! 750W is more than enough and will save you quite a lot of money.

The H100i will easily allow you to overclock your 4790k to 4.4Ghz and keep it stable.

 

Overall the build looks great, very good selection of parts.

2x8gb is enough

And a 750w psu is fine.

Thx to all for fast and helpful responses.

 

I have made some modifications based on your advices.

 

 

Thx.

Hey there MpaBkaTa,

 

What are you going to use that build for?

As @TheUnknown said, for gaming you could go with a good i5 or equal AMD, 2x4GB RAM and put all the rest towards the GPU.

If you are going for some editing or content creation, the i7 is a good choice and you can do 2x8GB of memory.

Concerning the HDD, depending on what you are going to use it for, I could recommend checking out either WD Blue, WD Black or WD Green. Each has their design, purpose and advantages. Here are some links:

WD Blue: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=XbTk2p

WD Black: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=8nCC0c

WD Green: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=AJQhMx

 

750W is plenty of power if you are doing only one GPU, even if you are OCing the CPU. Depending on if you are adding a second GTX970 or not, you can either leave the 750W PSU or drop to a 550W.

Thx for responce.

 

I'll use PC for gaming, programing and some Virtaul machines

For now it will be only 1 GPU but in future can add one more + full water cooling ring.

In that case you would do better with the i7 and more RAM.

In terms of HDD, I believe you would need something faster since you would be working with files off of it. I would suggest checking out WD Black - it has 64MB cache, 7,200 rpm and a great read/write speed. It is designed for heavier workloads and should be good for your needs as well as it has 5 years of limited warranty.
