Needs a PSU.

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

Then get this. I went completely overkill with the CPU cooler and case, for pure looks (I just find them so gorgeous...). I mean, the CPU cooler is also super powerful, but you don't need all that cooling.

 

Red theme. Can easily change. Have fun.

That all looks fine, but in all honestly the CPU + CPU cooler and Mobo really is overkill really, if you're only doing gaming + live streaming. The streaming will put a bit of stress on it if you're using an intensive compression but an i7 4790K would handle it just as well. Same as the DDR4, it's not gonna yield any better results with anything you're doing, unless you all of a sudden decide to run some really CPU intensive programmes

Yay, another Triton-nist.

 

BTW, 850w is actually a bad choice. It would be suited to drive 2x 290s, but for the 9xx series, the power consumption is below the required TDP.

If using the Asus Strix 970/980, a 500 or 550w PSU will do. If using any other brand, you'll need a 650w, solely due to the need for extra PCIe connectors.

Things will load much quicker from an SSD than a normal HDD. Of course you will notice a difference.

It is enough to notice. I am running a few games off a HDD and it is slow compared to my SSD.
