Need a check before purchasing

[malteal]

Hey guys. I’m a first time builder, and last night I found parts for my build. I have a budget around 1450 US $ (I’m from Denmark, so the pricing maybe a little different).
 

This is my build so far:

 

Motherboard: ASUS Rog Maximus vii Ranger

 

CPU: Intel LGA1150 Core i7-4970K

 

Ram: HyperX Fury DDR3 1600MHz 16GB

 

PSU: Cooler Master G750M

 

Cabinet: Define R5 Black

 

Graphics Card: MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming 4GB

 

HDD: Seagate Barracuda® 1TB

 

SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 120GB 

                      

 

I will mainly use the computer for gaming and a little videoediting.

 

What do you think guys?

 

Thanks in advance

Are you going to overclock? if yes, you need an aftermark cooler and less expensive motherboard
if no, you can get a xeon with a h97 board

Are you going to SLI in the future?

In my opinion if you're only going to be gaming and doing a little videoediting then you could probably go for an i5 of sorts.  Save a bit of money there and feed it into other parts.

Thank you guys for the quick response

I think i will go with your overclocking choice MrSpeed seems decent, I don't think i will be overclocking that much, but then i have the choice. I don't think i will use SLI or Crossfire in the future but you never know, but then i will have to buy a bigger PSU.

 

I don't know about the video card though, i have always chosen Nvidia for laptops, but i have alot of good things about AMD's R9 380, and that it's a little better than GTX 970.

the 280/380 is more comparable to the 960 but the 280x beats them both

the 390 is better than the 970

I found the Cooler Master G650M for a round 85 US$ isn't that okay?

I would go with something like this XFX.

I added a 750W psu incase you might SLI/crossfire

With you on this one. How is that cheap? Also, can he afford the 390x?

he can, he can either change the case or get a 120GB SSD instead of 250GB

 

[malteal]

No no didn't mean it like that, meant it's good, it's cheaper than i expected 

[MrSpeed]

No no didn't mean it like that, meant it's good, it's cheaper than i expected 

nevermind then

you may want to check the two builds i posted above with 390x if you want

[malteal]

Thank you

 

I have chosen the second build with XFX PSU, seems like a good choice, and then I've space to make some improvements

Thank you all for replying on my post!

You could go with the R9 390 over the R9 390X. There isn't a huge difference between them performance wise.

I heard the 390 was similar to the 290x, in the fact that some of the features on the chip are still locked?
