Hey, I wanted people's ideas on this build. I am going to build in the summer

 

  • Intel i5 4690k (Corsair h60 water cooler)
  • 8gb Ram Corsair
  • MSI R9 280X
  • Gigabyte Z97M-DS3H Micro-ATX
  • Fractal Node 804
  • 120gb SSD
  • 1TB HDD
  • WINDOWS 8.1

If you wanted to change any of the parts, keep in mind that I will need a micro atx motherboard because I already have my case

 

If you wanted to know what I am going to do with the pc, I am going to play all the new games coming out and a lot of the old ones, but in 1080p and mid-high setting, I also want to record games with fraps and also I like to render graphics and other stuff like videos. Plus student stuff like office, powerpoint and stuff.

 

Edit------

 

Could I overclock on this

good dont know why H60 but good would recommend you getting a non GB board though 

why gigabytes boards are well reccomended are known to be quality?

they have the absolute worst customer service the boards are good until you have to contact customer support

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

I'd definitely would change out the h60 out for something such as a 212 evo. If you're planning on doing a light-moderate overclock on the i5.

Wanna hang out with me and people like @Theslsamg, @ Ssoele, @BENTHEREN, @Lanoi, @Whiskers, @_ASSASSIN_, @Looney, @WunderWuffle, and @nsyedhasan. Well.... Check out: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/48484-unofficial-linustechtips-teamschnitzel-server-teamspeak/
