Everything looks good, but I'd recommend going with two EVGA 970s rather than ASUS. That's more of a personal preference, but I haven't heard many good things about ASUS cards...

I would suggest dual 290x but you won't listen anyway..

I remember when I was first looking into graphics cards for my build. It took me a while to decide whether or not I'd go with AMD or Nvidia, but I think I made the right choice in the end. :P

I actually already have one of the two 970's (i'm very happy with them ;-) ) so that's why i went with another one of those ;-) thanks anyway.

 

ps: i'm not really a fan of EVGA's design...

Ah, I see. Preference is preference. Pat on the back for going Nvidia, though. :D

It would help to mark any parts you already have as purchased in the list as to avoid confusion.

Regarding the parts list:

No point getting aftermarket thermal paste. The h100i comes with preapplied paste. Also, why such an expensive cpu cooler for gaming?

What's with the overpriced 1080p monitors? You should be getting higher res displays with a system like that. 

 

You need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

If you are just gaming you could drop down to an i5 4690K and Coolermaster Hyper Evo 212. You also don't need thermal paste as all coolers have their own.

 

The Bitfenix power supply is pretty average. Swap it for something like an EVGA Supernova G2, SuperFlower Leadex or XFX XTR.

 

A single GTX 970 would be enough for 1080p 60Hz. If you get a 144Hz screen or move to 1440p then you can add a 2nd card.

I'm sorry for the confusion but i'm also planning on doing quite a bit of video editing, so that's why i chose the 4790K ;-) thanks for the advice though!

I seriously can't read posts from someone who's running an amd cpu with a nvidia card with a straight face. It's too funny.
