Power Supply: Corsair CSM 650W - http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cs650m  ( Is it a overkill?)

 

Motherboard: I'm not sure about this one, i was going for:  Asus B85-PRO GAMER ATX LGA1150 -  http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-b85progamer

 

but i was also thinking about this: MSI Z97-Gaming 3 ATX - http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-z97gaming3LGA1150, which one should i choose?

 

 

I don't pretend to overclock it at the begining, maybe some years later when my pc will eventually be more outdated.

Are you ONLY gaming? 

 

if Yes,

 

Go with i5 4690k and 8 gigjoules of ram

[johngo90]

Also the motherboard should be Z97 because it allows you the potential to overclock, so the MSI mobo is the better option.

I would look for a better power supply. This XFX is better for a single GTX 980.

I would go with the MSI board if you want to overclock in the future.

And a little bit of video editing. I would get a good deal with the I7 so will keep it.

Dude, if you're thinking of buying a B85 chipset your processor shouldn't have a K on it, so the Z97 is the logical option here. And honestly I would recommend Win8.1 over 7. Forget any prejudices, from an objective pov Windows 8.1 beats Windows 7.

For sure!

 

I would most def go with the 4790k even if I was primarily gaming because you just never know.

Looks good! Definitely go with the MSI board doe

But for future overclocking would 550W be enough? I was afraid that even 650W would be a little low, is it not?

Max power draw from the 980 is around 280W:  http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/geforce-gtx-980-sli-review,4.html

 

$175 for a B85 mobo...hell no... grab a Z97...

 

...also, the CM 690 is a good case, but at the $100 range... the Phanteks Enthoo Pro is the best deal right now.

Comparative build.

 

This is ready for a second GTX 980, for whenever.

This is more budget-friendly build that will perform pretty darn close to the i7 builds:

Hey guys i have a last minute indecision with the case.

 

Should i go for the normal Cooler Master 690 III ATX Mid Tower Case without a side window, or the same case with a side window   (5€ more expensive) ?

 

 

 

 

or          

 

 

 

 

I will not use a side fan, and because the side opening is the only opening without a dust filter, i was thinking getting the case with the side window.

Is it going to affect temperatures that much since the GPU would not have a opening to exhaust hot air?

Will the side opening not get that much dust and dog hair?

 

 

Which one should i get?
