Getting my build ready

[Khalo]

I'm sorry for posting here twice in such a short time span but I'm gonna start ordering parts asap so I would appreciate it if people could have a look at it in case I did something wrong or have better alternatives (I'm new to this).

 

It's mostly for gaming at high graphic settings (mostly mmos), some frapsing and some light Photoshop.

 

I mentioned in my previous post about video editing, however it's very light and not extremely often that I do this, so after what some people here suggested and also after talking to another source I figured I wouldn't need the Xeon or 4790, though if you still think I will need it for the gaming part then please say so and I will try to adjust. 
I originally didn't want to OC cause I was scared of frying things, but after discussing this with my SO I found out he can do it, so why not.
I also lowered my budget a little (~1400USD) cause I need a new monitor as well.

I don't know if the WNA seems abit too much, but I just want to make sure it works well as my router is in the first floor and I live on the third. We have a good repeater but I don't want to buy something cheap just cause it's cheap and end up disconnecting every hour lol.

Network adapter is just... beyond stupid. Like honestly, sorry to say lmfao. It really is. Either use a cable, which is obviously better, or buy a cheapish card. That is overpriced as hell, and I can almost guarantee is not worth it. You are paying for the branding and the fact that it is AC, do you have an AC repeater/router? very little point in paying ALMOST HALF THE PRICE YOU ARE PAYING FOR THE CPU Just for the possibility you might get an over so slightly faster connection and less disconnects, which you won't really anyway.

 

Also I would recommend getting rid of the CD drive (who uses opticals? I haven't for 4+ years) and switching the HDD out for either  WD blue or a seagate. WD black is

overpriced as hell and you don't need the slight performance increase over blue since you have an SSD.

 

Also I would not recommend that PSU at all. Go for the EVGA G2 750W. Corsair RM units are pretty terrible relatively speaking. I recommend looking at jonnyguru for all PSU related needs.

 

I also would not recommend buying more than 1 fan. You almost always want more intakes' than exhaust fans, and because of the build of the R5, the only real way you can get this is with 2 intakes and 1 exhaust.

This hdd is bigger, just as fast, quiter, and costs less.

[thekeemo]

one more thing go for a 290x

[The Dragon]

one more thing go for a 290x

Why a 290x?

[thekeemo]

Why a 290x?

cheaper and just as powerful if not more powerful

@Meladath Yeah as I said I live in the third floor so no cable options, it's a pretty old house (so no place to really make that) and 3 different families on each floor sharing the same connection so I really need all I can get, but I will definitely look around for cheaper options.

I actually put that PSU in before this one (or was it G1 idk), I don't remember why I switched, tho I imagine a little price difference or lack of availability (I live in Scandinavia). But I'll check that dude out!

Good thing I put the fans on the list or I would have bought them! I almost posted the list without them, lmao. Thank you for all your input, it's very helpful!

@Biferony Sweet, thanks! Though I'n a little worried about longlivety as I've had a few bad experiences with Seagate

@thekeemo Hm, really? I will look into that, thanks.
