build Is this pc good?

[Guest amrojjeh]

This PC is my dream PC. I am going on a budget of ~$1000 and I'm going to use this PC for Programming, Unity, Blender, and Gaming. I am going to only use 1 monitor though I might upgrade to 2 later on (In other words, I'm fine with 1 monitor, though if I could afford 2 I'd be happy). I am not using this PC for VR. However, I am going to buy the Peripherals(Mouse, Keyboard(Slim or mechanical), Monitor, etc). The reason why I'm upgrading is because I'm stuck with the CX61 laptop which is somewhat slow for what I'm doing. This is my first PC build so I hope it turns out all right! (I'm in the US)

To be frank... no. 

 

1. the i5 4460 is older, the i5 6500 is the newer version.

2. a Z97 board is really meant for overclockable processors. 

3. the GTX 970 is now outdated, a 6GB GTX 1060 is what you'd want now. 

4. You do not need a sound card

5. That's an aweful PSU

6. a 3TB HDD and a 120GB SSD?!

Looks great! Are you sure you don't want an i5 6600?

a lot of components are outdated and more expensive than the newer component which performs better.

If i remember correctly the first generation PSUs from EVGA are more or less time bombs.

they aren't time bombs, they just aren't good performers and bad value.

CX's (And EVGA B) are not a bombs, they aren't bad PSUs either, just people where stupidly using them for tasks they should not have been doing. They are designed for low heat operation .

They have the reputation, which is enough for me to avoid them. Either way, there are better products out there for the price anyways.

they only have the 'reputation' because people like you go around and call it crap just because it isn't the best around with all the japanese capacitators and low ripple.
