Hello community, this is my build.

I opted for the monitor cause IPS. And I can deal w/ the 4ms response time.

I'm future proofing by going for an X99 build, I primarily game but I might be doing some minor photoshop work.

Is the PSU selected of adequate W's?

Anything that needs changing, like, omg that will burn down and die kinda thing?

Do I need the cable extension kit?

I'm willing to change things but the Tower itself is one thing that I can't.

Egh, thanks in advance. Any more comments will be appreciated.

PSU is more than enough, if you want to go sli, 700 is more than enough. If you stick to 1 gpu, you can go to 500w without problems.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

And also. Today's 900$ cpu and GPU is tommorow's 200$, there is nothing future proof on technology, especially computer technology. I suggest you go with a z97 build and upgrade later when you will have some more money.

I suggest you get something like this.

Maximum performance for that monitor you want, get it when they have it available Pcpartpicker didn't have it.

There is room for getting your cable sleeving to be bought and a mouse pad.

Noctua fans will give you maximum silence.

I would change most of that tbh. As mentioned by Skyward you don't need X99 for gaming. 

 

If you think you might do Video Editing/Rendering etc then you can go with an i7 4790K. Otherwise an i5 is fine.

 

You would just need to add the Mouse/Keyboard and Mat along with any fans you want.
