You'll probably want more storage than just the SSD. Get a 1TB HDD at least to go along with it.

i7 4790k | MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition | G.Skill Ripjaws X 16 GB | Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB | 2x Seagate Barracuda 2TB | MSI GTX 970 Twin Frozr V | Fractal Design R4 | EVGA 650W

A gaming PC for your budget: $800 - $1000 - $1500 - $1800 - $2600 - $9001

I suggest this instead. It is a little bit pricier, and your SSD room is cut in half, but it's plenty for a boot drive and some of your favorite programs, and you get an extra 2 tb of mass storage for your steam library. Steam will fill that ssd so fast you won't even know what happened. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JLXtwP

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

I picked the case because I like it, it's your preference what case you get and if you save a bit on the case you could get an AIO water cooler but I think the Noctua is fine, i7 is overkill for gaming and the 980 ti will still hold up for a while at even the the most demanding games at 1440p, if you feel the need, wait till the release of Pascal and either get the card equivalent to or better than the 980 ti that you can afford or just get the 980 ti then because its price will drop

Here it is:

OP, are you looking for something this pricey? If so, this would be my rec as well.

Im also thinking about overclocking , im verry new to this and it interests me a lott .

Ofc i know that i might need some extra cooling when i do this .

It might be overkill but i do want to stick to the Intel Core i7-5820K  the motherboard is also a good pick i believe (MSI X99S SLI PLUS)

so i dont want to change to much about al of it , just want to see if i could tweak some things about this configuration without making major extra costs .

1. You want the 6700k over the 5820k, its more future proof.

2. Get the Titan X for the best single GPU at gaming.

3. The board I chose supports SLI aswell if thats what you like about the X99S SLI

4. There is 4 times more storage on the ssd above and the speeds are shattering.

5. I wish i could afford this stuff.

1. Linus made a video about 5820k vs 6700k so you can watch it and see what matters to you

2. 980 ti man - its nearly the same performance

All other things seem ok
