I`m building my first desktop and I don`t know what CPU, PSU, motherboard and graphics card to choose. I have second to none experience regarding this stuff, so opinions are appreciated.
I want an Intel.
I have ca 1000 usd left of my budget.
Please also tell me if there is something I need or should switch out. These are the components I have chosen so far:
(case) CM STORM STRYKER XL-ATX WHITE

(ram) CORSAIR 16GB DDR3 VENGEANCE PRO RED 2400MHZ (2x16)(not sure about this one)

(cpu cooler) CORSAIR H100I HYDRO CPU COOLER S-1150/1366/2011 (do I need more cooling?)

(ssd) SAMSUNG 840 EVO 250GB SATA SSD TLC

(hdd) SEAGATE DESKTOP HDD 3TB 7200RPM SATA/600 64MB

CPU - i5 4690k
mobo - ASRock Z97 Extreme 4
GPU - Asus GTX780
PSU - Seasonic M12II 620 ($70 newegg)

You won't need the H100i. Just a Coolermaster Hyper 212 evo will be fine.

You won't need 16gb ram. 2 x 4 gb will be fine.

I like the Stormtrooper or HAF XM better.

I5's won't need water cooling unless you're going for world record OC.

Yes that Asus GTX780. See reviews eg http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/asus_geforce_gtx_7...
