SSDNow/10

 

Equivalent to 1/10

Looks really good

I would change the cooler to something a bit beefier if you plan to overclock, which by the look of it you do if youre getting a K chip and Z97 board.

PLEASE do not get the V300 SSD, something like the MX100, MX200, 840/850 EVO, Intel 530/730 are all much much better options.

Unless you plan to get another 980Ti, 850W is a bit much for your setup.

And I also cant really recommend that case, sorta low end for such a high end setup, I suggest looking into something of a bit more quality.

Holy shit, you really went all out for a first timer.

As mentioned before your SSD and cooling choice are poor, also consider a 980ti Amp Extreme by ZONTAC.

[Misanthrope]

No judging just tips: Your cooler is sufficient for modest overclocks but as mentioned, not enough for aggressive overclocks. Also I'm not sure what you plan to do with the rig (Just gaming, gaming and a bit of browsing, streaming or bit of video editing, etc) but you can save some money by going with a 4690k and have virtually 0 difference in game and have some extra money for a bit of a bigger SSD so you can fit at least a 240 ssd on your budget.

 

Other than that you're saving money where you can to get the best GPU available to you so that's overall a very good choice for gaming.

thanks yeah i was originally looking at 750w but people kept saying i would just be scraping by which confused me because i have done my research thee ssd advice is a SHOUT cheers

Why do you have a 212 EVO when a Cryorig H7 cools better and is the same price?

[Clear17Mud]

I love that case its in my top three. I would go with skylake and DDR for for this high end of a system. Because its only a little more and ddr4 will be used for a while, and its only $10 more for the same amount (even though its at faster speeds.) Also why an i7? An i5 is fine for gaming.

yeah i edited the post i chose i7 for editing ect

OK that's fine. I still recommend getting a skylake cpu, because then the ddr4 memory can be reused for later builds.But idk of its a lot more expensive in Ireland. Then I guess haswell is great.

this looks really nice thanks i was actually looking at that board but i keep hearing killer ethernet is terrible? people saying it destroys you download and in some case make ping worse

yeah i would have looked at skylake but its is more expensive as a whole here and now hearing stuff about them bending with some coolers i kept on the haswell side of things

Its a hell of a lot better then that 170$ gigabyte board you had.

really i was only looking at it because it had intel networking and dual bios which sound handy oh and it looks nice but so does the the msi  and it has a nicer uefi 

[gigabytesmatter]

thanks everyone im taking all feed back into consideration rethinking some choices
