Hey guys!

So, I decidet to build my first gaming PC, and currently I got those parts selected: http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/3nwxjX

Are they compatible with each other, and do they have that bottleneck effect or am I good to go?

Also, can you help me find better/cheaper parts? Maximum price: ~1030€

I'm only buying from amazon, but if you find any other website which ships to Austria without 10 Million € extra costs, which is also relieable and cheaper, I'm going to buy there.

Thank you guys, and sorry for my bad english.

PS: OS and HDD I already have sitting at home waiting to get into the gaming rig.

Looks good, I would say bump up that PSU to 500w for overclock headroom

If you're just gaming you could easily get away with bumping that cpu down to an i5 4690k.

Seems good but I would put in a 500w or 650w PSU instead.

If the Xeon and 970 are both at 100% load there is a chance that the PSU will give up and could damage a few parts in your system.

You might want to step up the PSU a bit, at least 500W.

E3-1231-V3 is a Haswell Refresh.  If you don't want to risk a "dead system" out of the box, switch to a H97 chip set.

 

The GTX 970 can draw up to 270W under max stress.  The 430W is cutting it too close.  I would bump up to at least a good 500W.

two cards on sli with full load draw about 451 watts...http://www.hardocp.com/article/2014/11/19/nvidia_geforce_gtx_970_sli_4k_nv_surround_review/10#.VSO2UOlFCCo

 

I think these cards are pretty good on power

 

They are great for power efficiency, amazing actually.  Nonetheless, 430W is just too close.  At the very least, you would be risking the life of your PSU.

Well, depends on the quality of the PSU. If it's a decent PSU with good protection etc., then it'd just turn off a lot :P

Okay, thank you guys.

I actually went with the Xeon E3 1231 v3, I think it is better than that i5 4690k, chose a ASRock H97 Fatal1ty Performance, Asus Strix GTX 970 OC (240Watts or something TDP), 32 GB DDR3 1600 CL9 RAM (Because my dad had those lying around at home :D) and a 500W be quiet L8 PSU. For the case I chose a BitFenix Shinobi in White + Blue (non-windowed), and installed one Silent Wings 2. Pretty happy with that machine! I hope I won't get any problems with the PSU, but I should be safe.. Right?
