I am a little new to building A computer, but not at the same time. I have watched a ton of LinusTechTips Build Guides and took apart my prebuilt computer completely and put it back together but never went out to buy parts to build a computer. I am aware the CPU cooler is a pain, but I can live with it, I want to be able to max GTA 5 out 1080p. and Want to future proof it if I ever get a 4k, or 1440p monitor. I am going for a blue and black theme, but I still go for performance and dont just choose a motherboard because of color. I also going to be doing some editing and coding on this machine. Any tips or suggestions. If you suggest anything try to keep it under 2000$, I  am working for money now and plan to build this computer in the summer of 2016 :).

if you only plan on gaming you could swap the i7 4790k vs a i5 4690k ( save some money )they perform 99% the same in most games

more futureproof would be a 980ti for a few bucks more ( most ppl will tell you to swap the 980 for a team red card )

read the topic in my signature about more gpu info ;) bob did a awesome job

otherwise the build looks solid

@TYCriswell2 follow your topics

Dominator Platinum memory modules are not really compatible with the cpu cooler.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

If your going for future proof the i7 with 8 threads will help a lot for Vulkan and DX12 games when they come out. Changed the CPU coolers to water, because if your going to spend $60 on an air cooler why not go water. Go with a 980 ti over the 980, because the 980 ti is a weaker Titan X and +2GB of VRAM for 1440k and 4k textures. I change the PSU to 750w for more Overclocking head room.
