Hello there my birthday is very soon and my parents have given me a limit of 2.5k NZD to spend on what ever I want and since like most teens I'm addicted to gaming I want to upgrade from my HP laptop and need your help on what I should get.

 

I mainly play League of Legends and CSGO and would want to do a little video editing and maybe stream sometime as well but nothing to over the top.I would also like this build to be able to run Tom Clancy's The Division on 60Fps. I play on a 1920x1080 1ms monitor and plan on buying another one.

 

These are some of the parts I was thinking on please let me know what you think would be best for me.

 

Gigabyte Bluetooth 4.0 + AC Wifi PCI-E Network Card Cooler Master V750 Semi-Modular PSU

 

Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 3 Intel Z97 Motherboard or Asus ROG MAXIMUS VII Ranger Intel Z97 ATX Motherboard

 

1TB WD Caviar Blue 3.5" HDD or 2TB one my laptop is 1TB and havent even used half of it thats why I think 1TB is enough

 

Intel Core i7 4790K 4.0 GHz Processor or Intel Core i5 4690K 3.5 GHz Processor

 

Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB Red(2x4gb) Or Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB Blue (2X8GB) This one is depending on what you guys think I should get 120GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD

 

Cooler Master Seidon 120V Plus Watercooling Kit or Cooler Master Nepton 240M Water Cooling Kit, Again this one is depending on what you guys think

 

Windows 8.1 64Bit

 

Asus STRIX GTX 970 4GB Graphics Card

 

Now for the case Im in love with these four so pick what one you think would be the best please

Corsair Graphite 780T Full Tower Case Corsair Graphite Series 760T Full Tower Case  NZXT Phantom 530 Full Tower Case NZXT H440 Silent Mid Tower Case 

I am a pretty heavy gamer and need your guys help, sorry if I made any mistakes or put this in the wrong forum it's my first time here. Thank you for the help :D

The cases listed are bigger than necessary. I'd suggest something smaller for better airflow and space efficiency. 

No graphics card? Why such a large psu?
