Do you think it is the best cpu choice?

 

For gaming? 100% yes.

 

If you are doing heavily threaded workloads (editing/rendering/etc...) you might do better going with a Xeon E3-1230 V3 or E3-1231 V3 for the hyper threading.  They are similar to the i7 4770 in performance but they do not have a integrated GPU and are a little harder to overclock than a K-series CPU.

Xeons do cost a lot of money? Don't they?

 

It costs around the same as the i5 4690K.  You will most likely not get the 4GHz OC out of it though.  So, how much time do you spend rendering video/audio?

 

The i5 has a feature called Quicksync (I think).  It can use the iGPU to aid in streaming/recording video games.  I have never used it, some of the members here have.  You would lose that with the Xeon, but your live streaming would be fine because of the extra 4 threads.

 

You could also go with a much cheaper motherboard if you got a Xeon E3-1230 V3.

The RAM is 1333, and while it does not make a big difference in games, it does make a difference in other areas.  If it was cheaper than the 1600-2400 RAM I would not bring it up, but it is not cheaper.

You get the idea, you don't have to sacrifice speed for looks... get both.

 

 

As far as the PSU, look at reviews.  You can afford a high quality source of power, so if you are unsure about that MS-Tech unit, do not buy it.

 

 

LED controllers are cheap:  http://www.amazon.de/Synergy-21-Flex-Strip-Controller/dp/B0038PC4VW/ref=sr_1_18?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1434305551&sr=1-18&keywords=LED

 

So are LED strips:  http://www.amazon.de/CHINS%C2%AE-Meter-KOMPLETT-SET-Fernbedienung/dp/B00UR4BTFO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1434305688&sr=8-2&keywords=LED+strip

 

So are combos:  http://www.amazon.de/Strip-Streifen-Leiste-Netzteil-Fernbedienung/dp/B00H9DY5EI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1434305742&sr=8-3&keywords=LED+strip

 

Not all SSDs are created equal.  The one you have picked is okay, but older tech.  This is faster in every way:  http://de.pcpartpicker.com/part/sandisk-internal-hard-drive-sd6sb1m128g1022i

this one, because the one you picked isnt available in belgium

 

The Marvel controller is good.  As a boot drive it is not bad.  Slow on the seq. write, and a tad slow on the random write:

It takes me less than 5 minutes to do a clean install of windows, on this drive it would take around 7-8 minutes.  Everything else is fast.

this one is the same price in my store, is it better? i dont realy know much of SSD's

 

 

That is still $20 or so... it is up to you.

 

I am not a big LED guy.  On my next build I am thinking of a well modded setup (scratch case, or heavily modded case)... that one I will light up. 

 

I know but its half the price and about the same, and it has the control on a PCI slot and it has a better installing system.

when i choose you solution, it's going to cost me even more? no? because i have to buy a controller and a strip

It has a 290MB/s sequential write over the other 180MB/s.  So it is faster when installing things to it.  The random write is a tiny bit slower.  The reads, again, are really good.

So it is a better choice as the Premier Pro?

For PSU i found a Thermaltake for the same price.

I know the name, so i think it is more relyable, it has 80+ bronze. But i dont care that much about the efficiency. Does the efficiency affect you pc? or just your bill?

 

Efficiency relates to the draw from the wall... so yes the power bill =).

 

It is not about the name when you are looking at PSUs, it is all about the OEM (manufacturing company) that makes the internals.  Thermaltake has low end units (I can double check). 

 

An example would be Corsair.  There lower end stuff is made by CWT and is not really good quality (CX, CS, RM).  Their higher end stuff is good... with a high end line also made by CWT, and some by Seasonic.

 

EVGA has three lines:  NEX/G1/B1/basic low end models are made by FSP... The GS/PS are made by Seasonic and are high quality... The B2/G2 are made by Superflower and are high quality.

 

Look at this little resource, it is a good list of OEMs organized in tiers:  http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

 

Pick a PSU I will help you research it. 

 

You could go with a cheaper low end unit and be fine, but if you shop smart... you can find a really good unit for a really good price and you lessen the risk of catastrophic failure.

Can you find me a PSU around the same price as the Thermaltake that is good and gives me the possibility to add later a second 970? I saw that you can make with adapters from 2 molex a 6 pin or a 6+2 pin? has it pros/cons?

Gimme budget please...75 euros?

 

93 euros:  http://de.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-110b20750vr

 

85, non modular:  http://de.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650gts3x

 

102:  http://de.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650xxxb9

114:  http://de.pcpartpicker.com/part/super-flower-power-supply-sf650f14mg

 

Bolds are a little better than the 85 dollar one in quality.
