Hey all, I've posted a bunch of topics asking about what would be the best 1,500 and this is that I have.

 

I'm going to buy buying this PC in the upcomming weeks, I just thought it would be nice to have some feedback on it and maybe some people have some better parts for the same price. I am going to probably do some small OC'S like 4.5 GHz to the cpu, not sure yet.

 

Let me know what you guys think and if you have any suggestions or better parts for the same price, let me know.

 
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($309.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
CPU Cooler: LEPA AquaChanger 240 103.6 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  ($75.99 @ Directron) 
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($94.88 @ OutletPC) 
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($77.99 @ Newegg) I HAVE A 2TB I'LL USE TOO.
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Video Card  ($649.99 @ B&H) 
Total: 1,509 + SHIPPING ON NEWEGG
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

You could get a 6600k for a bit cheaper but it has better performance, also that would enable you to use DDR4 RAM and you could possibly buy a better cpu if your budget permits it but if i would change anything about that personally i would go for the 6600k

An i5 having more performance over an i7 with streaming...?

Umm question, any form of mass storage beside an SSD? Mainly because 250 GB can get eaten up easily by just a few games.

Edit: Post is irrelevant. I didn't see that you had already answered because the reply was hard to see with Dark Theme.

Don't be fooled by the bottom line of my sig, that is just for my travels.

So you're telling me that Gaben is no God? Enough of your foolishness.

My hardware you ask? I'm using a Dell Inspiron 3217 Notebook... With an LG 25UM57.

I never heard of that cpu cooler or manufacturer, so I don't know how good or reliable it is. Only other thing I'd say is with how much you're spending you should get a better psu, one that's at least gold certified and from Antec, Seasonic, or Xfx

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

The build looks completely fine. For a cheap version of Win 7, just go here - https://www.reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwareswap/.
