Possibly Final 980 Build

[AlwaysFlexin]

Hey all, I've been going at this a lot over the last month and next week will be the week I'm ordering it. (Coming home from a deployment). Please let me know what you think. I'm going for a red/black aesthetic look, please feel free to add suggestions. The budget isn't strict but I don't wanna add too much more money into it. I know my weakest point is probably the H55 but this will be my first AIO and I really just wanna start out with an entry level one, unless you guys highly recommend not doing that.

 

-Gaming AND some video editing is what I'm building for

-CX850M PSU will be used, until I upgrade later, but it will do the job for now. (right? lol)

-256GB 840 EVO I already have, as well as HDD storage

-I only buy from Newegg/Amazon

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($337.99 @ Amazon)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H55 57.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  ($49.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($119.98 @ Newegg)
Memory: Kingston Fury Red Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory  ($139.79 @ Amazon)
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 980 4GB Twin Frozr Video Card  ($554.98 @ Newegg)
Case: Corsair 760T Black ATX Full Tower Case  ($179.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $1382.72
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Thanks again all!

Looks great to me! The only thing that I'd advise would be to maybe get an H75/H80i GT if it's in your budget. Otherwise, it looks great and thank you for your service.

if you are only gaming get an i5 4690k and a better cpu cooler (enermax liqtech 240)

Thanks! Forgot to mention that it's for gaming as well as some video editing. So I really want the 4790k!

thats alright, but really fit a better cpu cooler... i recommend the enermax liqtech, botht he 240mm and the 120mm rad sizes

that corsair h55 is very cheap, and cheap AiOs dont really end up very well.. id get a big tower air cooler like the Cryorig H5 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4UF1W87430&cm_re=cryorig-_-9SIA4UF1W87430-_-Product) if you cant affort a more  "decent" water cooler

I do like the red accent on that one! Thanks for the suggestion. I guess after spending that money a few more dollars for a better cooler is worth it.

if you want water cooling then i stick with my recommendation of the enermax liqtech series, (the 120mm is 80$ and the 240 is 110$) if you want air cooling Cryorig has the R1 Ultimate, accoring to one of the newegg reviews a guy got a 4.8 Ghz @ 1.35V and load temps 75c   that guy won the silicon lottery but that is one beefy ass cooler
