yup , looks pretty good to me. *thumbs up* you could go with an atx board tho, since it's an atx case

[pomaranc]

purpouse, budget?

[,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,]

Nope. Get rid of that power supply. I recommend EVGA; Corsair CX series is bad.

[DarkBlade2117]

Looks good. Seems like a solid high end 1080p or low end 1440p build. I would not get thst PSU. Corsair PSUs aren't very good. I'd go for a vega g2 or GS series. Any EVGA psi that's like t2 p2 and ect are also good.

Yeah I already have the board that's why.

I know you purchased the motherboard already but a Z97 would be BEST so that you can overclock that CPU. If you dont play to OC then I suggest getting a Xeon E3-1231 V3 instead.

Um. Yeah.

@Tech_Dreamer, I agree with him, Go ATX, Gives you room for SLI In the future if you wish to, Without having to buy a whole new motherboard.

 

But other than that, Looks good and you should go ahead and PULL THE LEVER! 

 

Buy it, If you are! JUST, DO, IT!

Do you plan on overclocking ? 

[Adam Redfern]

Do you plan on overclocking ? 

 

Yeah

[arronleeds]

thats a bad pc , only joking nice pc bro, i wouldnt get the h100i though, id get the cryorig r1 ultimate air cooler, its a beastttt, but you would have to get a bigger case like the fractal define s which has room to fit it.

 

also get this psu http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-Supernova-Modular-Power-Supply/dp/B00LMAUZ6G

 

£63 if you buy from amazon. and if you do the free amazon prime subscription (make sure to cancel it after you have signed up, you get free next day delivery ).

[Lotus]

Yeah

Then you need to get a different motherboard. Even if the one you have now has a bios hack that allows overclocking on B85 (which Intel specifically codes to prevent), it's only a 3 phase VRM board so you shouldn't be overclocking on it anyway.

 

You can compensate for the price difference by dropping your cooler down to a Cooler Master 212 Evo, which will still have sufficient thermal headroom to hit high diminishing returns on your overclocking.

[VincentiusIV]

Just change the power supply with an Corsair AX760i or EVGA SuperNova G2 equivalent. Then you are good to go.

 

Nice build.

The B85 chipset isn't even optimised for overclocking. People buy this boards because they dont want to overclock. Now i think about it there is realy no need for the i7k, but he can just go with the non-k.

[IanDrexP]

Thanks 

Its like a non-K i7 but a lot cheaper. It will help your gaming, game capturing and editing a lot.

 

Also like what everyone said dont get a Corsair CX PSU for your build. Maybe a EVGA GS series or higher, any Corsair PSU above the CX series, any Seasonic, any XFX PSU instead.
