Hey guys, here is the final build I plan to go for (made it with the help of some cool members on another forum).

Intel Core? i7-4790K Processor, 4.00GHz w/ 8MB Cache at Memory Express

Asus Z97-A w/ DDR3 1600, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit LAN, SLI / 3-Way CrossFireX at Memory Express

Asus GTX780 Direct CU II OC GeForce GTX 780 3GB PCI-E w/ Dual DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort at Memory Express

Seagate 1TB Desktop HDD SATA III w/ 64MB Cache at Memory Express

Samsung 840 Pro Series Solid State Drive, SATA III, 256GB at Memory Express

eVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 Modular 750W Power Supply at Memory Express

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C11D-8GXM - Newegg.ca

Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Upgraded USB 3.0 - Newegg.ca

Asus 24x DVD-RW Drive, SATA, OEM, Black at Memory Express


As for my questions, I just want to confirm that this build is all compatible, I haven't built a PC in an extremely long while so I feel like I may forget or miss something.

Also I am wondering if it looks like I'm skimping on parts anywhere and any final change recommendations (I am already slightly over-budget but if there is something that stands out, please let me know.

you need cpu cooler to overclock, could be 212 evo or Corsair H110 (you need to change the case in order to fit H110)

Yea get a good air cooler or water cooler for that and make sure it is LGA 1155 compatible. If it was me though I wouldnt get the i7 because its a hundred dollars more but if price is no object then that processor will probably last longer, but only time will tell if hyperthreading will be used well in games before they become too demanding for haswell.

Thanks for the responses. I didn't pick out a cooler because I have no plans to overclock at the time, if I do want to later, I'll end up getting the 212 evo or use the one from my old PC.

As for the hundred bucks extra, I'm not too worried about that as I do want it to be somewhat futureproof'd and if I'm spending money, might as well get a great build that'll last me a while.

Any other concerns I should be worried about?

Thanks again!
