Hey everyone, this is my first build and I was wondering if it is good for what i'm planning on doing with it:

I7-4790k 4.0GHz processor
Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM liquid cooling
Asus MAXIMUS VII HERO ATX motherboard
Corsair vengeance (2x8GB) DDR3-1600
Seagate Barracuda (3TB x 2) 7200RPM hard drive
MSI Radeon R9 280x 3GB TWIN FROZR graphics card
Cooler Master Storm Stryker ATX full tower case
Corsair RM 850 watt modular PSU

I'm planning on starting a gaming channel on youtube and trying to make sure I can play any game on high/Ultra settings while recording, I don't care to much about load times so I didn't include an ssd, how do you think this system will fare? Thanks for the input in advance.

SSD is not only for game load time it will boost your PC you will be able to do everything faster boot time surfing and that nice build but consider an SSD personaly i whould go with the gtx770 instead of the R9 280x but thats just me everyone has different taste

yea you are right amd is better for the wallet and price to performance but thats my personal opinion i like Nvidia GPU's and AMD CPU's

Nvidia GPU for PhysX and AMD CPU for outstanding OC capability and durability

On this PC i have ASUS GTX760 OC DCII and AMD FX-8350 and im really happy with the result

Thats the reason I'm getting the i7, even though I'd rather not pay the extra 100 bucks over an i5. Does anyone have an idea if the 770 will work for 3d gaming while not recording, and lowering the settings of games? Also, do you think 3d gaming adds to the game?
