Hello, im going to buy a new pc next week and i thought i should ask for some opinions from people who know better. My parts at the moment are these:

CPU: i7 - 4790k
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H100i
Motherboard: Asus maximus formula vii
GPU: MSi Geforce GTX 980 Gaming
Ram: Corsair Vengeance pro 2x8 GB 2133
PSU: Corsair RM 650W
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 500GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Case: NZXT H440
 
Solution
All compatible, but
1) Why that expensive mobo?
2) I don't trust MSI stuff (except laptops) at all...
3) I think the RAM is going to use too much voltage for a recommended Haswell.
4) The PSU's okay, but not as reliable as ones from SeaSonic, XFX, or EVGA.
5) You don't need such a big SSD... There's a reason you have a HDD.
6) The case costs too much...

Other than those, I have absolutely no problem with this. And also, what are you going to do with this rig?

Seen really good reviews about maximus formula vii. Which Gtx 980 would u recommend instead of the MSi ?
What ramn would u suggest also ? Which PSU u recommend also ? Why dont i need so big ssd ?
Was going for phanteks enthoo primo on 240 euro so i went down on nzxt h440 for 120euro so im not changing this one.
I'm mostly going to gaming with it.
