I'm looking to build a gaming pc that's moderately future-proof. I'm only at 1080p with my monitor currently and play games like Skyrim, Metro Last Light and Dark Souls. I'd like to keep the system as quiet and cool as possible..
I should mention that I'm a total noob with pc builds, so feedback is truly appreciated. I'm comfortable with the price point but am interested in hearing any suggestions (upgrades or swaps) that would improve quietness & performance at this price point.
Thoughts on these specs?:
Corsair Obsidian 550D Mid Tower
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006L6ZSWC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_8?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Intel Core i7-4790 Processor - BX80646I74790
ASUS Z97-DELUXE ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97-DELUXE
Seasonic X-850(SS-850KM Active PFC F3) 850W 80 Plus Gold ATX12V/EPS12V Power Supply
ASUS Direct CU II Thermal Design with Direct-GPU Contact 10mm Copper Heat Pipe Graphics Card GTX780-DC2OC-3GD5
SanDisk Extreme II 480GB SATA 6.0GB/s 2.5-Inch 7mm Height Solid State Drive (SSD) With Read Up To 545MB/s & Up To 95K IOPS- SDSSDXP-480G-G25
Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 2133 MHz (PC3 17000) Desktop, Red
I need to add a cpu cooler and I'll throw in some harddrives I already have to compliment the SSD.
Est. Cost: $1800.00
Thoughts for these specs on a Gaming PC?
Updates: I should also mention that I expect to do some programming on this box as well (Visual Studio, IIS, SQL Server) and can see doubling up on the video card (SLI) in a year or two if I get deeper into gaming, thus the beefier power supply and Memory. Not planning to overclock to CPU.
