Im planning on building a gaming computer and i have all the parts picked out but i just want to see other people opinions and and get advice on the build.
i plan on gaming, streaming and doing school work on this computer. i might also do some video editing in the future.
im going to build it hopefully at the end of this month or end of next moth. going for an all white build. i have a $1,300 or $1,400 budget because i plan on buying a $200 monitor. this will be my first time building a pc so im not to sure if all these parts would be great together or if i should get different parts that would give better performance so im looking for anybodies opinion on this and advice on things i should switch out. (USD currency)

Parts list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wjtW23

-i want to keep the white s340

-debating on switching the kraken for a cryorig h7 and using the extra money i save for a better gpu than the 390 thats not over $500.

i was also wondering if the ram i picked is good or if i should go with a different kit. 

-the only pc games i play right now are league and rust but the computer im using can barley run it. i want to play games like gta 5, crysis and all those newer games.

if you're gaming on 1080p, then the 390 is good enough

 

though if you're looking into streaming while gaming then i suggest you get an i7, or build a rig around the xeon 1231 v3 (xeon is cheaper but ddr3)

or stream with shadowplay (means getting an nvidia card)

 

ive seen skylake system not post with that brand and model of ram, not sure about the kit though

its best if you can get kingston hyper x or corsair vengeance lpx, those generally works, spray paint them if u must

 

and get a supernova P2 or G2 psu, its better than the nex

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

i switched the memory to the kingston hyperx fury and i also found a different cpu cooler, if i get an i7 would i have to switch mobos and everything or will it work with this build?

i updated it

looking great

change the i5 for an i7 and you're golden

 

also, a 2tb hard disk have better value than a 1tb, so get that if you're fine with it,

either way 1tb is enough to start with and storage can always be expanded later

the 5820k runs on a diferent chipset, so you would have to change your motherboard to an x99 motherboard, which will cost more

 

for non-productive use, just simple gaming + streaming, the i7 6700k will do

it depends, as a hobby, the i7 6700k will do you just fine
