Well if you're not 'free' to spend the money as you see fit (I suppose parents are sponsoring this?) I'd say figure out a way to reserve the money for a GPU upgrade 2-3 years down the line. Most games are still GPU bottlenecked (so they do not manage to leverage the full power of the CPU anyway...that's why the 8-core makes no sense) so going for a better GPU in a few years time usually brings quite a lot of improvement. It's also a lot more economical than to just 'put in some kind of crazy SLI combination' right now.

 

Or simply just go with the lower budget computer. Make a big impression about how responsible you are with their money, not throwing it around like candy, and how modest you are. That ought to earn you a lot of 'credit'. :D

I can tell you're really into that monitor but if you're going to game a lot a good Gsync monitor would serve better than that beast

I can't really judge the monitors (not really an expert on that) but the rest of the case looks pretty solid! Much more sensible and balanced configuration.

 

Only thing you could possibly give some more thought is the CPU cooler. Are you really planning to overclock in a big way or not? Have you also considered the high-end Noctua air coolers? They're pretty good, outperform some of the watercoolers, and are usually quieter. Maybe someone who's more into OC / coolers can chime in there.

thanks for the advice for changing the parts that made it much cheaper

and i am not aloud to spend on a vacation the money is only for pc build 

! thing I would change is the RAM as in relation to its speed. I would go for around 3000Mhz as there is a performance gain ( ok not a massive amount ) but still a gain. Also 16GB is enough for now but I would stick 32GB in then if your aspirations change in relation to what you do with it aka you do some heavy rendering a stuff then you will have plenty. Also Platinum supply is great but I think you have gone a little low on the output I would go 750W that will give you plenty of extra juice if you ever decide to throw in a second card. That 760W supply you had in your second build is a good supply with nice output.

I'm no big expert on CPU cooling (in my last build I figured I'd just 'settle for best' and went with Noctua)... but I guess with Noctua there's really 2 main options.

 

The NH-D15 - which is a big twin stack huge ass cooler... but you might run into some RAM clearance issues there. But this is pretty much the gold standard of air-CPU coolers. There's also a model (NH-D15S) that has 1 fan instead of 2. Both price and performance differences are marginal.

 

For a more modest and slightly cheaper solution you could look into the NH-U12S. It's a single stack design, only has 1 fan, but really has no issues with RAM clearance or anything whatsoever. It's performance really isn't all that much worse.

 

I found this article quite informative (even when it can be a rather overwhelming amount of information): http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cases_cooling/cpu_air_cooler_mega_test/1

 

Might want to do a quick search on the forums; this is bound to have come up before.

the less the better but needs to be good

Agreed but the cooler you have I wouldn't say is Overkill but in an area where if you want to overclock its good and if you don't your cpu is never going to get burning hot its just going to stay nice and cool

By the way... the platinum level power supplies are a bit... well.. overkill. They're only marginally more efficient and they're so much more expensive than gold level PSUs that you'll never recover the extra initial cost. They're also really not much ahead in regards to build quality compared to some of the quality gold-label PSUs.

 

I'd go for a Corsair RMx series PSU. They come with a 10 year warranty and are a great product. It's debatable whether to go for a 550, 650 or 750 watt model. Even the 550 would probably run a SLI config without problems, but admittedly it isn't much cheaper than the RM750x.

The fact that money isn't an issue doesn't mean the expensive choice is the better option. For example the AIO cooler would be more noisy than a high-end Noctua cooler (and more expensive to boot) while only offering marginally better cooling performance. For a really enthusiast OCer that might make sense, but for a lot of people it might not.

I'm not saying this cooler is necessarily a bad choice; I'm just saying look into whether this is the right choice for you. :)

Errm this is different from the 6700k config you had. I'd go back and work off that one.

The the 4790k is a last-gen CPU and really doesn't offer any benefits over the 6700k (neither in performance nor price).

 

I would consider going with a 500 GB SSD instead of a 250 GB. They're not that much more expensive (actually cheaper at $ per GB) and that should give you a bit more room to keep a whole bunch of games installed. Stick with that 850 EVO though; it is a good solid choice.

 

PSU wise I honestly never heard of this brand, but personally I'd go with something more proven and deemed reliable quality stuff. Like the Corsair RMx series, or the EVGA G2. Costs a wee bit more but at least you can be sure it won't let you down. The newegg reviews on this Rosewill model aren't very promising...

 

Regarding the monitors I suggest you put some actual research in what you really want and need. Right now you're pretty much going from 700 to 1500 dollar monitors on a whim without much apparent reasoning behind it. There isn't necessarily anything wrong with spending a boatload of money on high-quality stuff, but make sure it's a deliberate choice and that you're doing it for the right reasons. Again, I'm no monitor expert so I'm disinclined to comment on any specific choices.

There is no point buying a k-SKU processor and then pairing it with a B170 motherboard as you will not be able to overclock it. You have to go for a Z170 motherboard.

That's actually not entirely true... this is being thrown around a lot, but at current prices, the percentage increase in clock-speed of the 6700k versus the 6700k is higher than the increase in cost (over here you pay about 6% more for the 15% increase in clockspeed).

But yeah I agree.... it makes a lot more sense to pair it with a quality Z170 motherboard..

 

I'd also get a 2-stick RAM kit instead of a 4-stick ram-kit; this leaves some room for later upgrades.

Every time you post a new spec it seems to get worse :S 

 

Something like this would be much better. A 1440p IPS G-Sync monitor for gaming on. You can add a couple of other monitors for your side ones.

 

Drop the psu down to 550W if you don't plan on SLI.

 

Case is personal so if you prefer the Cooler Master then stick with that.
