Hello , soon i'm going to move in US (canada) and i want to build a really good gaming pc and also for work (game programming). So my budget is around 2000$. Here is a spec i already pick , but i'm not sure about my choice , especially for the power supply , MOBO , GPU and screen :

 

Case : Corsair Obsidian 750D

 

MOBO : Asus Sabertooth X99 ATX DDR4

 

CPU : I7-4790K

 

GPU : EVGA Gforce GTX 970 SSC ACX 4GB 

 

Power supply : Cooler master V750W modular

 

cooling : Corsair Hydro H100i

 

ram : 2x8GB Kingston HyperX FURY

 

and the screen too : BenQ XL2430T

 

So can i get something better and shipper ? or better at the same price ? ( all check on amazon -- if you have an alternative and shipper site than amazon it'll be a pleasure to look ).

 

Thanks in advance for your answers and tips for my future build.

 

Seyrow.

CPU doesn't even fit in that motherboard.

I would suggest an ASUS z97 motherboard or an MSI one.

Don't get ROG boards they are quite pricey and you propably won't be using 80% of it's features.

You could do much better performance wise for $2,000. I wouldn't spend $144 on a mouse and keyboard when that money could go into a better video card, but that's just me.

 

Also, no need to buy a $260 motherboard, not worth the extra money. The Asus Z97-A is more than adequate and $130 cheaper, again can put that money into something giving better performance. Higher price doesn't always mean higher quality. Also switched you to a Samsung 850 EVO SSD, Kingston really isn't great for that segment. I would go with something like the below personally. With the cost savings in other areas I was able to bump you up to a GTX 980.
