Go to solution Solved by Archangel1994,

As a baseline I made this:

 

 
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($317.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler  ($89.98 @ OutletPC) 
Motherboard: MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($146.98 @ OutletPC) 
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 4GB WINDFORCE Video Card  ($599.99 @ Newegg) 
Case: Corsair 780T ATX Full Tower Case  ($179.99 @ NCIX US) 
Power Supply: EVGA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply  ($108.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit)  ($90.99 @ NCIX US) 
Total: $1783.89
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Yes the case is expensive and I added the OS but this will give you a general idea of what to expect. Also if you switch to a less expensive case then you know how much you will have left.
 
For peripherals (If you need them) I recommend:
 
Mic: Modmic 4.0 or a quality desktop mic with stand like the AT2020
Headphones: HD519/ATH-AD500x/700x for open-back, ATH-M40x for closed back
Keyboard: A good mechanical keyboard. Corsair K70/95 RGB if you want RGB lighting. Otherwise CM Storm Quickfire is a solid mech keyboard series

A 144MHz monitor?

 

Holy shit I don't even want to imagine the power needed to drive that

 

xD

 

As for the build I can help you, I need the following:

 

- Currency (USD, CAD or AUD)

- Peripherals?

- OS?

- Special requests for the case/color scheme etc?

 

Also are you a silence freak or do you want a case that's a bit better performing?

Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

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

Very nice rounded build. Will run like a beast with the 2x 980's.

 

Does the Ripjaws X Ram fit under the NH-D15? Not sure.

Yes it does, the NH-D15 has left out some fins at the bottom for HP RAM. My friend is running trident X under one now (And those are big) though one of the fans might need to be slightly elevated but that's no issue

Cool, then that combo will work nicely for OP.

Look at the build I posted. Black/red Build and the 780T also has a black version, let me adjust

 

Do you need peripherals?
