@Bloodyvalley   read the title

 

give me 20 minutes 

 

I switched out the case for something that's a little more functional and looks a bit better, but otherwise, the build is pretty solid.

Quad HD. Essentially the same concept of 4K but instead of 1080p, it's 720p, hence 1440p.

+ this CPU cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835214058&cm_re=liqtech-_-35-214-058-_-Product

Why do you need a network card?

Edit.. uh forgot SSD hold on :D

- Download drivers

- GuildWars 2 MMORPG

- YouTube etc.

- Download Games (2 Free games for 2x GTX 970)

- For my work

i think this should fit your criteria , i personally dont feel that memory clock speed matters that much , i took the 4790k as it is a beast n is very good , i used to H100i cuz it would allow u to OC ur 4790k pretty well , the RM850w PSU by cosair is very reliable. there is $100 left over so do what u want i guess

OP get 16GB of RAM

Won't be enough for Minecraft. 

I would say get 512gb ram to be more future proof. Next games are gonna require 128 gb of ram and 2 980s to play on medium I heard. 

I am not sure if the resolution was 4k or 1440p though.

If you want a Motherboard with good on board audio then check out the Gigabyte Z97 Sniper.

I would go with the H105 or H110 over the H100i. Corsair Link is a pain and there are supposedly mounting issues with it.

 

EVGA Supernova G2 750W is plenty for GTX 970 SLI. It has a nice 10 year warranty and is one of the best psu's for the price.

Gigabyte Sniper has better onboard audio than the Asus if that is important to you. The Asus is still a good board though.

Ok I change cooler but the Electronic Shop does not offer EVGA PSUs and the Gigabyte Sniper mobo too.

EDIT: I found one with same onboardsound: Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming G1 WIFI Black Edition

But very expensive
