So I've been planning this build and I've gone through many revisions and I'm sure I will go through more, but for now I need some help in picking a few parts.

1. Ram, 16GB at least 1600 clock

2. Wireless card, doesn't really matter as long as it's good at what its supposed to do.

3. Monitor, preferably nothing smaller than 24 inches, eventually planning on triple monitors.

There's the build link! The only thing that I won't change are the parts that I already purchased!

Any questions? Ask away!

Thanks! :D

Budget?  Intened use?  Unless you're doing heavy content creation I don't think you nee the i7 or the 16gb.  Ditch both, get 8gb, an i5 4690k and a better GPU

Want a good game to play?  Check out Shadowrun: http://store.steampowered.com/app/300550/ (runs on literally any hardware)

 

another 12 core / 24 thread senpai...     (/. _ .)/     \(. _ .\)

I'm with you on that.

Also, could be cheaper on the cooler I guess - but the H100i is pretty good.

Sig under construction.

This is a multi-purpose build, gaming and lots of school work in mind haha.

I'm not trying to get things to be good enough, you know what I mean? 

 

1. The cooler isn't a big deal if there's another one that's similar with the twin 120mm fans then by all means as long as its quality is good.

2. I have 16GB of ram in my current laptop and want to stick with than number. This way when I have lots of programs opens and tabs and all that i won't even need to worry about any of that because I've been in that position before.

3. trying to keep the build under 2k USD

4. NOT an AMD fan thats why the Nvidia card is there  :D plus there's not much difference between the 980 and the 970, but I am waiting to see how the 960 will be like to maybe just get two of those. or if the price will drop a bit on the 970.

Edit:

 

I would go with a different cooler other than the h100i, other than the fixable mounting issues, the cooler's software doesn't respond well with windows 8.1

What do you think about the Swiftech H220-x? I was actually thinking about using that ram! except you know, in black  :P Love the build though!

EDIT: or maybe Enermax Liqtech 240?
