First Gaming Build

[Stanvard]

I've been into computers for a few years, and now I have actually got the funds for a nice rig. I've got about $3000 currently including tax and peripherals. i.e: monitor, mouse, keyboard, mouse pad, cables, etc.

 

I've been looking at NCIX and this is what I've been thinking of. Keep in mind that I live in Canada, so all prices reflect that. Also at some point, I would like to put together a custom water cooling loop for the cpu and gpu. 

What do you guys think?

 

4690k - $260

Asus z97-A - $140

Gigabyte G1 GTX 980 - $680

Corsair AX 760 - $165

HyperX Fury 1x8gb - $90 - one 8 gig stick because I want to be able to upgrade to 16/32 without replacing

WD Black 1tb - $88

840 EVO 120gb - $85

H440 - $110

100ft CAT6 - $18 - I'm planning on connecting to a router upstairs

6ft DP cable - $30

Windows 8.1 - $108

Adata 32gb Jumpdrive - $18

BenQ ZX2720Z - $410

Corsair M65 RGB - $80

Ducky Shine 3 tenkeyless - $140

 

 

Total:2435.85 or 2781.35 including tax and shipping insurance

 

Like I stated before, I'd like to know what your opinion is. Also, what do you think I should do about cooling. I want to go with water, however to what extent, I am not sure. I have got a source of income, so it is possible to get together some more funds.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Use pcpartpicker to plan the build, and export it as BBcode It is easier to get a overview of it that way.


Looks good though, You will be able to max out pretty much everything.
