Yes every thing is perfectly compatible with each other you have a good build there.

i would swap out the ram for this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226420 they are about $80 cheaper.

Is this for gaming? If so you can save a few hundred and lose no performance at all.

prit87 · Oct 15, 2014

Or add another gtx 970 to gain much more performance.

tiny voices :

Not only but also for software development and some utilities

QwertyPwner · Oct 15, 2014

prit87 :

can't now but maybe in the future. This 9 series sounds very stables and efficent!

Saw a lot of good reviews about them

tiny voices · Oct 15, 2014

Why would he do that? A single 970 would easily max all games at his 1080p resolution.

prit87 · Oct 15, 2014

QwertyPwner :

yes they are....good luck with your build .

QwertyPwner · Oct 15, 2014

tiny voices :

what would be your suggestion?

Thanks all for the help

tiny voices · Oct 15, 2014

I was going to recommend an i5, but you said you will do programming, so the i7 will be alright.

I recommend a cheaper board, MUCH cheaper RAM, Air cooler,

prit87 · Oct 15, 2014

tiny voices :

Yes i know i am saying if its just a pc for gaming i can save a lot of money from his current build to get a 2nd gtx 970 in a sli setup.

QwertyPwner · Oct 15, 2014

tiny voices :

i5-4690k is a nice option also but i would risk for this i7!

what board? I want a nice build quality so it can't be outdated fast

give me models so i can search them. Air cooler? why? (i want to know)

tiny voices · Oct 15, 2014

The motherboard won't be outdated faster than ANY other motherboard with the same chipset (z97). The ASUS Z97-A is VERY popular.

Air coolers are cheaper and quieter but perform the same or better than water coolers. I would get a Noctua NH-D15.

QwertyPwner · Oct 15, 2014

I was thinking about that mobo too but people told that hero vii is better for games. WHat I'm seeing, its not a huge difference so maybe i'll save some money and buy the Z97-a with the air cooler. Noctua are always big but for the HAF X, everything sounds... just fine

QwertyPwner · Oct 15, 2014

tiny voices :

any budget for the RAM. I might choose your advices!

tiny voices · Oct 15, 2014

There is ZERO performance affect by the motherboard. It does not affect gameplay IN ANY WAY. Anyone who told you otherwise is a liar.

tiny voices · Oct 15, 2014

Get any 1600mhz 8x2gb CL9 1.5v RAM.

QwertyPwner · Oct 15, 2014

I just love the rog mobo's because of the design

but yeah will buy what you are suggesting.
The RAM i will buy 1600 like you say.

tiny voices · Oct 15, 2014

Good deal. Sounds great.

QwertyPwner · Oct 15, 2014

Thanks for your time and help.
I'm checking here the Vengeance Series. People saying that the Pro Series is worth the extra otherwise getting a g.skill or hyperX.
What do you think?

tiny voices · Oct 15, 2014

Only get low profile RAM. I avoid Corsair as they are overpriced.

ANY brand will be fine. They are all basically the same quality. The only thing to make sure of is that you get LOW PROFILE RAM.

Thanks sir
