New Build ($1,000 GTX 970 i5 4690k)

[280308_1454182369]

I'm planning on buying the parts for this build soon. This is my first build, so criticism is welcome.

Notes:

I included the wi-fi adapter because of how my router is too far away from where I am keeping my computer, and how I cannot move my router due to it being hard-wired.

Cooler Master also recently released the Devastator II, so I figured I'd try it out in my new build.

Looks good to me, but I've heard not so great stuff from the higher wattage Corsair CX power supplies.

I like it, I'm happy to see you went with semi-modular. That makes a world of difference to cable management.

Just for gaming build ? If so, swap that 970 for a 390.. Better performance and longevity

Please Please do not use that PSU. Anything from EVGA, Seasonic are better.

If you don't need Cuda, swap that 970 for a 390. Also, swap that PSU for something better, like a SuperNova G2.

Thanks for the heads up. Changed the power supply to the more popular EVGA SuperNOVA NEX.

Still get an R9 390. The R9 390 has much better performance.
