Okay, guys, I need criticism, help, changes and whatever else. 

 

I need your guys' opinion on my current build http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Condene/saved/nmY323 which I plan to possibly upgrade to this build http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Condene/saved/86Y323.

 

Can someone look at them and see if there's any other changes I can make? I'm open to all suggestions. Uses will be constant gaming and some coding and maybe some photo design in the future. 

Thanks :)

In my opinion, I don't think you need to upgrade the 4670K yet, it's still a strong CPU. However, I would get the R9-390 upgrade. If you really need the better peripherals then go for it. Also do you really need that many fans? Hope I helped

It's a pretty good build but if you wanna keep the system as new, change that 4670K and the Z97 Motherboard for something like an i5-6500 and a Z150 board.

I forgot to remove the fans because I initially planned to get a H100i and have 2x fans in the front of the case, 2 on the rad and 1 for exhaust but I changed my mind about that.

No reason to upgrade to anything really, just save up for like a solid 40" 4K display and buy whatever next gen GPU can power it pretty well for the money.

Skylake is only 5% faster than haswell, and your display is going to be pretty weak

and don't buy a headset if you can help it man

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
