Looks good. Maybe you can downgrade the PSU to a cheaper 600W one from SeaSonic, XFX or Antec.

 

Also, I've heard the H60 cooler is pretty meh.

 

I'd personally grab a i5 6600K and a 980Ti instead.

980Ti

Phanteks Enthoo Pro

Nice. But you maybe can get more ram...because you have a i7 and 980 but 8gb ram...

i may change the power, and like why downgrade cpu and upgrade gpu, not too be an ass but for like learning purposes as this is my first build:)

Hmm i see, how much ram would you recommend?

In gaming, a better GPU will give you better FPS. The difference between the i7 4790K and i5 6600K in most games is minimal. For GPUs, it's a different story.

[pcman365]

Is it for gaming mainly if so i5 and 980 ti

[PrettyBoy]

980Ti

Phanteks Enthoo Pro

better cooler.

what cooler would you think is better? and is the case like personal opinion or more specs and cheaper?

[PrettyBoy]

Is it for gaming mainly if so i5 and 980 ti

yeah mainly gaming, will the cpu make much difference if i7 or i5?

Oh i get what you mean, what would it change in gaming, like the cpu?

[HKZeroFive]

yeah mainly gaming, will the cpu make much difference if i7 or i5?

 

Not for most games. A better GPU will.

[Zhanlun Liang]

Hmm i see, how much ram would you recommend?

2x8GB. If you use 2x4GB, when you want to upgrade, the maximum is 16GB but if you use 2x8GB, you can upgrade to 32GB..

[HKZeroFive]

Oh i get what you mean, what would it change in gaming, like the cpu?

 

Only in CPU intensive games like ARMA 3. Even then, the CPU will hold up fine.

[PrettyBoy]

Not for most games. A better GPU will.

okay sounds good!

[PrettyBoy]

2x8GB. If you use 2x4GB, when you want to upgrade, the maximum is 16GB but if you use 2x8GB, you can upgrade to 32GB..

does the branding matter much? like stay with the same company but with more ram?

[PrettyBoy]

Okay I get what you mean, is it easy to upgrade cpu down the track like a few years or so?

[HKZeroFive]

Okay I get what you mean, is it easy to upgrade cpu down the track like a few years or so?

 

Yeah, but I wouldn't expect you to need to upgrade the CPU for another 2-3 years.

[PrettyBoy]

Yeah, but I wouldn't expect you to need to upgrade the CPU for another 2-3 years.

Aha yeah not looking to for maybe even 4-5 years

[HKZeroFive]

Aha yeah not looking to for maybe even 4-5 years

 

Reasonable considering people are still using 2011's Sandy Bridge and it's still doing quite well.

[Zhanlun Liang]

NZXT Kraken x61 CPU Liquid Cooler. Nice ! ! !

That is good to hear, hoping it will last a long time:) do you have any ideas on a cpu cooler?

[Zhanlun Liang]

In my opinion, branding of ram isn't really matter it just the heat spreader not same. So Kingston HyperX Fury is OK ! ! ! I also like this ram, it look so nice..

[PrettyBoy]

NZXT Kraken x61 CPU Liquid Cooler. Nice ! ! ! 

Is that one a lot more in price compared with the one i had?

I'd personally grab a CRYORIG H7 or a beQuiet! PURE ROCK. Both are pretty cheap.
