Can someone help meh please, I have been gathering components i think fit my needs which are games like BF4 on high settings, editing/rendering videos. I am quite confident in this build but would want someone to oversee and give recommendations on what could be improved - I definitely want the Case, Psu, Cpu and GPu. but I'm not still not quite sure if this is fine because i don't want to buy the components and wait like 2 weeks to get a replacement because one of the comments isn't sufficient. I am VERY impatient, lol. But if you could just give me your opinion that would be great, thanks. Also I'm not sure about the MoBo. i want a motherboard with WiFi and is still good under £150, Thanks.

Case - Corsair 760t - £140
MoBo - Asus Z97 Pro (WiFi AC) - £120
CPU - Intel i5 4960k - 179
GPU - GTX 960 4GB - £200
PSU- Seasonic Platinum 660XP 660w - £120

Don't get the h100i get the nh-d15 is a little better and is more silent.Beside that everything is fine

ps:mobo is not such a huge choice since they don't have any impact on the performance

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.

I would do this, 4790k is amazing for rendering/editing

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console?

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Did you mean 970 instead of 960?

 

Anyways, build looks just fine to me, PSU is honestly a bit overkill, but there is no harm in that if you wish to upgrade in the future.

No I think the GTX 960 is coming out this moth and it fits my price range, but i plan to upgrade in about a year or so.

4790k ? That's waay overkill o.0... 4690k will treat you fine for gaming. Don't listen to him, 4790k ? What do you need hhyperthreading for ? The reason why i have a 4770k, is because i work for a company that does Photoshop for a living. Trust me you don't need those extra threads.

He is also editing and rendering, which the 4790k is very strong in.

Mind me for my rudeness. I get that 4790k is good for editing and rendering, but the differences are like 30% at best. IMHO, that not worth another $100 dollars. Or in your case, pounds.

It will stack up significantly over time and since he will edit videos odds are very likely that he will also be recording for which a 4790k is excellent for minimal performance loss
