First Ever PC Build

[Bazinga!]

So im new to this and i am gonna build a new pc soon. Any suggestions for parts or anything?

I am planning to overclock so i have overclockable hardware but im not sure when...

Here is my current build:

 

i5 4690k

Asus z97 pro

Cooler Master Hyper 212+ or EVO

Asus GTX 980

Corsair Vengeance 8gb ram kit

Corsair CX600 600W PSU(MAYBE GOING FOR MODULAR)

128GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD 

1TB WD Blue

Corsair 700D

 

 

Any recommendations? Is it good?
 

 

 

Regards,

Bazinga!

Oh and either a ASUS or BenQ 144hz display to go along!

[TurtleOnSteroids]

Looks fine to me. 

I was just curious as to what case you were planning on using however.

It is ok, though I would get a different PSU (this one is good) and a seagate barracuda. I would also get an IPS monitor over a 144hz one unless you are playing games like CS:GO. Asus motherboards are generally overpriced for what they bring, so I would get an MSI gaming 5 which will be at least as good (if not better) and costs quite a bit less.

Corsair 700D. Its a mid tower and it has pretty good airflow.

Budget and location plz. Also, what do you want to do with this pc?

Yes pliz.

[Bazinga!]

Looks fine to me.

 

I suppose you're playing at 1440p?

 

Because a 980 is way overkill for 1080p.

 

I want to get a 1440p dispay but idk why but they are so rare here in India... There is currently only 1 option for me for 1440p which is a BenQ. If going 1440p i would rather prefer a ASUS over a BenQ.

 

Im currently playing on a iMac. derp derp derp

Yes pliz.

 

I live in India and i have a 1500$ budget which has to include the monitor but i do not need mouse,keyboard or headphones.

Primarily for gaming light video editing for youtube and if possible twitch streaming.

Yaaaay. India... because we have no partpicker for that.....

 

Anyway, for the 1440p monitor, have you taken a look at Dell's local site? Here in Brazil, I couldn't find any monitor either; but on the local webstore of dell, I got full access to their products, being sold in my currency, for about half the price I'd pay if I tried to import it. So... yeah. Go to the webpages of Dell, Benq, Asus, Accer and LG, and try finding it there.

The PSU is fine, why are so many hating on Corsair PSU's all of a sudden?

Is it fanboyism or did I miss some massive revalation that they break compenents. Cause I've been using a Corsair PSU for ages now with not a single issue. Baffles me.

 

Didn't mean to seem narky but I'm just curious as I've seen alot of people telling people building new systems to change their PSU's to e.g XFX and upping the Wattage for some random reason even though they've selected a (in my eyes) a great PSU that will power the system perfectly and be in the 80% usage band for the most efficient usage.

[JoaoPRSousa]

that would cost atleast 1800$ in India

OP, give us a link of the store that you'll buy the parts from, and a budget on your local currency.

[Bazinga!]

i recommend you to check out flipkart, snapdeal and amazon.in for offers look for your best bet.

 

Using flipkart and amazon.in

[Bazinga!]

either flipkart.com or amazon.in

Sadly there is no way you can share this.... screenshots or maybe adding it to a wishlist and then giving the link... fairly complicated

What about (because it looks like you have the money) getting a larger SSD? You can get a 240GB instead of a 128GB for around £20 ($30) (1893.61 Rupee)?

I dont have any budget left :V i dont need a larger SSD anyway..

True, was just mentioning because it looked like you had a lot to spend. Never mind 

[Mao_Zedong]

I play CSGO a lot thats why i went with a 144hz monitor . I wanted the Asus motherboard as i am gonna get a ASUS GTX 980 so wat da heck... It also has WiFi and i like its BIOS a lot more than MSI's. Segate Barracuda.... Sure i know its good but WD Blue is just as good! 

Ok, Those are decent points except that the seagate barracuda will be significantly quieter, so it is a better option.

Ahh, I thought you would because of the existing parts. Never mind

It isn't that the PSU is bad, but the xfx one is fully modular, 80+ gold, quieter, and has fully black cables. Corsair PSUs are ok, but they generally aren't a great deal (except when any of them go below $30).
