Finally decided to do a build :D

[IsaacDaGrazin]

What I’m reusing:

My i5-4440 and a pair of 2x4 Kingston hyper x fury sticks

 

What I'm planning to get and why?:

This: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/YHjZsY

I added another pair of Fury's to fill the slots up (why tf not? and plus its nice to have room to open a couple thousand programs)

I'm using the Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 5 cus its badass and well I like the colour and its compatible :3

The 212 Evo for alot better cooling than my shit only fucking fan in my entire fucking pc (in my current pc i have ONE Fan, no psu fan, no case fans, nuffin only a shitload of mesh)

The WD Black im getting for the 'Maximum performance for power computing.' and ofcouse i do need storage ,  I do not plan on just getting an ssd any time soon since i dont know nuffin about them

R9 390 for serious gaming on high-medium settings (like dem hungry games gta, farcry etc...)

780t because its fucking beautiful and dem fans

and the psu for 'headroom' in the future since I may be upgrading

 

It will be used for:

Web browsing, watching youtube 1440p, games heavy ones like gta, farcry on medium to high settings,  maybe some animation every now and then, video rendering, I only plan on using one monitor (1920x1080 which is my current) but I may add another

I do not need any peripherals or an os as i will use Ubuntu (iz kewl rite?)

 

Why I'm upgrading?:

I do plan starting rendering and animations soon, gaming will most probably happen (right now i get an average of 60 fps on low-medium settings and low res, on hungry games, things look shiet), web browsing is fine but most of the time I normally have 20+ tabs open on ff, and other programs in the background such as: steam, blender, rhythm box, Libre Office, obs, Hardware Sensors Indicator (temps)  and with my current pc things do slow down quite a bit

so what do you think?

Just want your opinion on this guys! also any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I think this is a really solid build, however I would upgrade the GPU to maybe a 980 Ti or a 970.

I'd also maybe get an SSD if you have the budget.

I wouldn't recommend a non-K CPU with a Zxx motherboard as you are wasting the overclocking features of the Z motherboard plus it costs more, so I would use a Hxx motherboard instead.

I would personally change the case to a cheaper one and get an SSD, maybe change the PSU.

any specific ones?

@IsaacDaGrazin-

-Please look a bit into SSD, believe me, they are worth you time (witch is funny because they'll also save you a lot of time).

-Don't know why you would get such a huge case for such a small build (maybe first get a better everything?).

-If you plan on more than a bit of rendering and animation, get a better cpu.

-390 is good enough for 1080p work.

[robert1339]

I don't know your budget but if money isn't an object

Not THAT expensive

Note: With that CPU cooler you might want to look into a K series processor and a Z97 board as the NH-D15 will keep it cool anyways

It is not possible to upgrade to a 970...the 390 is better than the 970

Get a 1TB HDD and an SSD...otherwise the build is really solid. GL on running steam games on Linux

I know, I just said that it maybe isn't smart to do so if he's going to be rendering often. That's why I've made this build...

The i5 will do me for now but in the future I will probably get an i7 

[Wouterrinos]

@IsaacDaGrazin Is it me or does your first post say you watch youtube and stuff on 1440p but then it says you only have a 1080p?

Doesn't mean the i7 isn't a lot faster though...
