This is my Pc build that i put together on Pc part picker. Id like anyone who is a veteran at building computers to check and see if I bottle necked or messed up anywhere.

 

My concerns:

1.The right wattage? I went 60 watts over what PC Part Picker said. Is that appropriate?

2.Do i need more fans for my case or a better fan for my CPU?

3.Any Bottle necks.

4.Products that aren't reliable. ex. Break in a few months

 

I Plan on using this comp for Gaming/Streaming/Video editing/Browsing the web

Try it now.

Works fine

That's because he just updated it.

get the os from g2a to save yourself a lot of money.

you need a more powerful power supply. for a 980 and 6700k you'll need a 600w minimum.

[KieranFretwell]

The only change i would make is a higher wattage PSU. EVGA are a good brand to go for. 

[TheRandomness]

Spend more on the cooler, even though the 212 is good you might want something better Also, the RM line from Corsair is a little overpriced. 600W PSU at least.

pc part picker say 11W - 91W for the cpu, Is their estimates wrong?

[Insomnis_IV]

You guys are saying 600 atleast, what do you recommend?

The minimum System Power Requirement on the Nvidia website for the 980 is 500w

I recommend this onehttp://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Supply-220-G2-0650-Y1/dp/B0106RDIN2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448126952&sr=8-1&keywords=EVGA+SuperNOVA+650+G2+80+Plus+Gold+Rated

yes, ill put it this way.

underload at boost, your cpu is going to pull about 100w from the psu, your gpu will also pull about 300-350 depending on thr overclock you get, which means youll have almost no wiggle room at all on your psu. you never want to run a power supply at full steam if you can help it, because many simply will not be capable of putting out watts close to whats on thr sidd of the box. the corsair rm series will, but you can still grt a power supply that will give you some wiggle room,since that psu simply is barely enough.

Defiantly grabbing this one instead, thanks.

Ya, I noticed like after I posted that.

 

To OP, you could probably save some money by getting a cheaper board from Gigabyte or MSI that way you can put a bit of extra money towards the GPU.   I've heard that the 980 isn't really worth it.  I think it had something to do with the pricing of the 970 and 980ti.  Plus, for around that you can get a single card with 2x the vram which will help with higher resolutions.  The PSU feels rather low for an unlocked processor and a high-end GPU even more so if you plan to OC.  A 550-650w would give you more headroom for upgrades too, not just OCing.

What GPU do you recommend?

Thanks for clearing that up.

Ok, solved the power supply. I will do some more research on the 390/390x. What about the cooling?

[Insomnis_IV]

Spend more on the cooler, even though the 212 is good you might want something better Also, the RM line from Corsair is a little overpriced. 600W PSU at least.

What Cpu cooler do you recommend and any additional fans?

[TheRandomness]

Additional fans are almost never needed, Maybe a be quiet! Dark Rock (Pro) 3 or Cryorig H7.
