Hello LTT forums!

 

Was wondering if you guys could take a look at the part list i've created and let me know if everything is compatible or let me know if im doing something wrong. Trying to keep the base total to about $1,350, and this is the best I could do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks! :)

You could probably throw in an ssd and still keep it under $1350.

Solid build. Would think about changing from corsair psu to evga for better quality. Also check other cases for same price like nzxt h440 and enthoo pro.

This is better. I'm not sure about the wireless adapter, but I presume you've done the legwork on it.

Looks good.

 

I have a few suggestions though:

Upgrade HDD to a 3TB for about $16

A Xeon E3 1231 V3 will provide double  the threads but cannot overclock +$30

More PSU wattage, Seasonic, Corsair, Rosewill, EVGA, and Antec are all great brands to choose.  More wattage so you can SLI later down the road.  (aim for 700W+ for a comfortable 970 SLI)

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

Just a thought: According to http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html, the Corsair CX/CXM series isn't quite ideal for terribly serious overclocking. Completely fine for everything else though. 

 

EDIT: According to the link, the 750w PSU recommended by Deomons Wrath seems to be much better "EVGA Supernova B2 series (may even reach 80+ Silver, according to Jonnyguru)", and cheaper. (Yours Truly has the exact same one)

Not sure how much people care about PSUs, but out of habit, I try to recommend going for a good one when for overclocking.

I don't do signatures.

Don't get Corsair CX, it's a budget unit and I'd only use it for office builds, if that

In terms of wireless adapters, the convenience of being able to move around USB-reliant ones is great and all, but for a desktop PC, I'd get a PCI Express adapter. They tend to have better raw speed and antennas. I personally use this one and have no complaints (Link). I only have an N300 router anyways, so anything faster wouldn't do anything for me.

 

Of course, if you can get a wired connection, go for it. PowerLine adapters are also a thing.
