1st PC build, are all these components okay and any advice?

[claytonccrider]

Hey guys I'm new to the PC master race after years of console gaming and sadness.  I have a budget of about $3000-$3500 and all the parts that I list combined are within my budget. Using Linus's build guides I'm pretty confident that I can do this on my own.  I would use the PC for mostly gaming on a 1440p monitor and media consumption.

 

components:

 

Asus Maximus VIII Hero Mobo (ordered)

 

Intel 6700k CPU (ordered)

 

Corsair Obsidian 750D

 

Asus Strix GeForce GTX 980 TI factory OC graphics card

 

Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4 16GB 2800MHz RAM 

 

Corsair H100i CPU cooler

 

4 Noctua NF-F12 2000 RPM fans

 

2 Noctua NF-A14 3000 RPM fans

 

Intel 750 series 400GB PCIe SSD

 

Western Digital Black 2TB HDD

 

Corsair HX1000i PSU

 

Windows 10 Home

 

Multi color LED strips

 

Again anything I'm missing or any advice for a 1st time noob would be appreciated.  Thanks

seems good to go.

if you plan on building on carpet take ur clothes off to get a lower chance of static electrical damage when handleing your parts

HANDLE WITH CARE

Forget the LED Strips.

 

What Monitor do you have?

For your budget, this is a better build. Add the fans you want.

Good, 1440p is perfect.

 

I use those Filters for my 760T. Worth every single penny.

It IS MUCH easier than you think to fry components with static electricity. Ordering an anti-static wrist wrap (which are cheap anyways) can be a life saver, especially around those shiny new expensive parts you got yourself there. also DONT FORGET TO ORDER THERMAL PASTE!!!! (happened to me, had everything, pumped up to build, only to find out i had forgot thermal paste, and shipping took a week)

the noctua nf-s12a pwm are the fans for case ventilation

 

the nf-f12 pwm are for radiator cooling

thanks for your concern with static discharge.  I am also ordering a anti static strap and a anti static work mat. also i'm going to build barefoot on hardwood floors.  I have read that the H100i comes with thermal paste pre applied. Should I just use that stuff or put on new thermal paste?

He just have to touch the heater in his room and everything is fine. I never killed hardware because of static and i never used anti static stuff.

The paste will do fine.

depends on what you want to do with your cpu. with that cooler you can get some serious overclocking done with your cpu, and in that case, new stuff can be good, and will also last longer over the years, as it will not dry out. then if you don't want to risk it and dont want a hassle, using the pre-applied is still pretty good!
