Quick PC build questions

[Kanav]

Guys,I am thinking of buying a new pc worth 2500 dollars not including the monitor which is going to be either 4K or 2K. Here are the specs:

I7 4770K

Gd65 gaming from Msi

Rm 650

MSI 980

16 gigs ram (whichever's cheap)

Corsair 760t

Corsair H100i

2 X cheap 120 gig SSD's in raid 0

Guys I know these type of questions are very common but if you could please recommend some quick things by which I could increase my performance, it would be heavenly. Also, nearly everything is more expensive in India. Graphics card's 866$

your "whatever is cheapest" ram scares me.

Why ???? I would go with hyperx for ram.

ram is ram nothing to really worry about.

What will you use the PC for?

ram is not something to realy worry about if you just chose a well known brand

mehh.. looks like a good build... not much to change.. maybe a mobo with z97 chipset and m.2, and wait for a cheaper 10gb/s m.2 ssd, rather than 120gb in raid

Guys 1) Keep in mind that proves are high in India and m.2 SSDs have not come yet

2) I will be using the pc for 4K or 2K gaming and light video editing and 3d rendering later.

Thanks for sparring your finger to answer my questions though.

Sorry for the two consecutive replies and as a hindsight, I saw Austin Evans's video and he included nearly 1000$ graphics cards. So, should I go with a 4690K and two 970s?

[ThomasD]

If your usage will lean heavily towards gaming the 4690k and 2 x 970 is probably the better choice.

 

The trade off is that your rendering and editing times will be increased.

 

Personally I'd drop the second SSD and go with a 4790k.  Adding storage devices being a more easily justified future expense as compared to replacing the CPU.

[Darel]

well like I said.. buy a mobo with m.2 not to buy an m.2 ssd... I know they are expensive... but probably in 1 year they will get cheaper.. and I doubt you'll be buying a new computer next year.. so get one with m.2 slot for later upgrade

[Kanav]

I think the gd65has an  m sata port but even so, should I get the MSI gaming 5 instead? And won't Pcie Express SSDs be the standard of tomorrow(though I think m.2 SSDs are PCI SSDs).

[Kanav]

And which 2 970s do you recommend, Strix at 466$ or Amp Extreme at 580$? I am leaning towards the strix however.
