Planning Build

[Wingxiii]

Hello,
I am planning to make a rig for myself. I am mostly going to use it for gaming and a bit of multitasking work. To name a few games that I play, Dota, CS, starcraft 2, Fallout4 and GTA V. 

I am planning to run a dual screen setup. It's my first time planning and building alone. Any advice will be appreciated. 

 

My budget is around what is picked.

OR

drop that cooler swap to 4690k and H60

If you're gonna get a BEAST D15 cooler and a z97 motherboard, there should be no reason why not to get a 4690k and overclock it.

I am not entirely sure what do u mean by swap that drive for a blue or black.

WD has their series in color.

Red, Green, Blue, Black, etc.

 

Black is the best, but pricey, so blue is the most popular choice
