$1000 Build Part Check!

[sterlingr]

I am helping my friend build a rig that will be solely used for gaming. Anything wrong with this parts list?

The only thing I'm really concerned about is the CPU... would that bottleneck the 980?

 

Thanks!

Since that CPU is locked there is no reason to go with Z97, go with H97 instead and save some money

no an i5 wont bottleneck a 980

[The_Stig]

Get a H97 mobo instead of the Z97 b/c you cannot overclock a i5 4460 and I would get a better PSU, a SSD, and a 390X/Fury

i fit a 390x, 212 EVO and the 4690k I5

 

great upgrade to this in the future is a 250GB SSD (they go for around $100)

nex is known for being a bad-ish quality. gs or g2 in terms of evga is way better.

390x over the 980?

never saw someone saying this before... Why? I'm curious,

$100~ cheaper for a little less (or was it same or more?) performance.

it's my own build, so i kept pretty much nothing (not saying you didn't do a good job). i changed it to a k processor, to go with a good, and cheap, overclocking mobo. the expensive cooler is there 1, for looks, and 2, for dat overclocking! so u should be good to go when it comes to overclocking. 980 is good, but i decided to sub it for an r9 390 since its a better 970 for the same price, but it also leaves a ton of money for better quality everything else.
