budget 1500 dollars will need many explanations please unbiased if possible. ok planning on gaming and possibly streaming on twitch for a hobby, also do video editing here and there and use itunes or equivalent. i am new to building, this will be my first build so simple can be a plus. if i absolutely need to i will go over budget a little but hoping to stick to it. Thanks ahead of time

This build will let you overclock very well, it almost certainly has a better graphics card and all the components are about as good as you can get without paying extreme amounts, plus it is a bit cheaper as well

i am interested in playing games such as Day Z and maybe a little video editing at times how would these handle such tasks. i may spend a little more to have better gameplay experience.

easiest mistake to make is to screw up the thermal paste for the CPU cooler, after that, not putting the RAM fully in, and failing to connect up a cable correctly or didn't push it in far enough, just little things like that. Also failing to make sure that you have grounded yourself before handling components and causing electrostatic discharge to fry the components

i upgraded my ram in this macbook and studied the best way to not have electrostatic discharge so im good there. thermal paste sounds like it could be a little iffy but the rest i shouldnt have a problem with. thank you Nuckles_56 i like the build im gonna wait a few days and see if anyone else has any suggestions. if not i will go with one of yours for sure thanks for your time. i updated it im thinking of doing some livestreaming to twitch would this build still be fine for that, since there would be more multitasking?

Fair enough and as for the thermal paste, there is a good tutorial here http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/333968-28-thermal-p... And as for the twitch side of things, I thing that you should still be good with the i5 as I am pretty sure that twitch isn't too demanding

I would spend the extra few dollars and get the i7-4790k instead as it is a faster CPU (so you are less likely to need to overclock) and overclocks better as well. With the cooler you have got, I would say that you should be able to overclock the CPU from 4GHz to probably 4.5-4.6GHz without too much trouble

For one, you don't need the network card as the one which is on the motherboard will do just as good a job and I put in a better power supply which will have more than enough wattage unless you intend to put another GPU in SLI in the future (if you do, then get this power supply instead http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220g2085... ) Also a disk drive will make it easier to install everything you need on your computer.

silly question but why such a weak GPU @MeteorsRaining? and besides, there is very little advantage to going with the 840 pro SSD as well, it is almost the same as the 840 EVO and costs more. Also why a motherboard with the z87 chipset? Seeings as it won't be able to handle the broadwell processors which are going to come out next. Also you aren't using the best power supply either, there are much better ones

Easy mistake to make really, the 212 EVO is one of the most common coolers out there, it isn't the best cooler out there for Haswell CPUs like the one what you are lloking at getting but it will still do an excellent job no matter what. It should have thermal paste included, but if it doesn't, thermal paste is a cheap and easy thing to get. As for the case, I am pretty sure that you will be just fine

Ytyoussef, just a comment, there is not real advantage to faster RAM over low CL number RAM, seeing as the CL number has a greater effect on performance than the actual MHz value of the RAM and the ones which were in the systems were CL7 which means it as fast as 2133MHz CL 9 RAMI know that, but the one I posted is quite a bit cheaper, so that makes it better overall, doesn't it?

Ok I have completed the build. I will take some pictures when I get home and post so everyone can see. Pretty easy to build just gotta do a little more cable management. L
I have booted it and everything is in working order and ready to go. I installed the is and every driver that came with components but I am having a problem.
Problem: everything is installing to my SSD and when downloading or installing it gives me no option to download to the secondary hard drive. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, the Power Supply may be interchanged by SeaSonic. And as per the Mobo, I didn't see the need to upgrade the CPU, since it has a lot of power currently and for future!
