I need some last thoughts on this build:

 

CPU:                    Intel Core i7-4790k 

COOLER:             ???

GPU:                    MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G

MOBO:                 Asus Maximus VII Hero

RAM:                    Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x8GB (1866MHz C9)

SSD:                    Samsung 850 EVO 250GB

HDD:                    Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200rpm

PSU:                    EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750W

CASE:                  Corsair Obsidian 450D

I will order from:      http://www.amazon.de/

 

At the moment the price is around 1515 euro's without cpu cooler,

i'm looking to drop the price to a 1500 euro included a cpu cooler.

 

 - What is a good aio liquid cpu cooler? heard some bad things about the h100i and i like the cooler master ones atm.

 - Is the i7 overkill? i will use this machine to do gaming, screen recording, a bit of 3d modeling, photoshop, virtual box,..

 - Is there much difference with other SSD's, like the 840 EVO or the MX100?

 - The mobo.. love the looks.. but is the price worth it?

 - Is kingston hyperX fury better than the corsair ram, or is there little to no difference between the two?

 - Are there cheaper PSU's with even performance? I'm looking for a 750W.

 - Can't make up my mind between the Corsair 450D or the Vengeance C70.

 

These are the questions im stuck with, did some homework myself, but i need some opinions from you guys.

 

Thank you and sorry for my english.

 

UPDATE

 

After some advice i was able to get the price to around 1520, while maintaining the i7 CPU.

I think when i chose another PSU i will reach that 1500 spot, but i dont know what PSU's are good.

The i7 isn't overkill, so I wouldn't drop it. As PSUs go, maybe take a look at offerings from XFX and Antec if you're looking for something cheaper. The 450D is definitely a more modern case, and I would go with it. Get an MX100, you won't really need the speed difference between it and an 850 EVO. Finally, if the MSI Z97 Gaming 5 is cheaper, get it instead as you're getting more in terms of price/features.

1. I am not the biggest fan of AIO but the h100i is a great product, just as long as it isn't defective

2. In my opinion, the i7 may be a little bit overkil for your needs, have you consider getting a xeon? They perform just like an i7, but a bit cheaper, just minus the overclocking.

3. In my opinion, not much of a difference if we are talking about SATA based SSD

4. Motherboard IS NOT WORTH THE PRICE. Unless you have money to throw at an ROG board, do not get one

5. RAM is ram, whatever suits your needs, get it. The Hyper X fury is what I always recommend everyone

6. Your current PSU is perfectly fine

7. Fractal Design Define r5....

Why the define r5 over the 450D?

Why the define r5 over the 450D? 

 

To be fair, the 450D is a nice case, I am just not the biggest fan of Corsair Cases, but that is a matter of personal preferences.

vengence c70 for my pick

vengence c70 for my pick

and why the c70 over the 450d? (appart from looks) 

[techguru]

thicker sheet metal..built a bit better...I think the features are pretty close tho

I used the c70 in my uncles new pc and he really liked the features of the latches

I saw that the C70 can have fans in front and back of the drive cage at the same time, is this correct? and is it easy to mod the window? (love te case, hate the window )

[techguru]

I think so..but you really only need one or the other...more is just overkill

just updated the part list.
