One last Gaming PC Overview

Christmas is coming!
Here is the PC I'll be building for Christmas. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Py4M6h

I'll be using this PC for gaming. I might do a LITTLE streaming, but I doubt that.

Should I change anything? I don't plan on overclocking THAT much.

Let me know your opinions.

Bring that memory down to 1600 or 2000.

All I can complain about.

I would change mobo: I am happy with my Gigabyte GA-z97-gaming 5

Looks good to me.

Go with this cpu cooler instead?

It's cheaper, and it's the newer version.

TomThePotato :

I could do that.

voyboyfan :

Will do! Thank you.

18tyweslow :

I wouldn't. 2400 DDR 3 enables a negligible performance increase, but does influence minimum framerates. 2400 DDR 3 CL 9 will get higher minimum framerates compared to 1600 CL 7, for example.

Umm as it says in the notes there, it will automaticly downclock itself so it can work.
Why waste money on 2400 if it's not going to utilize it's full power?

voyboyfan :

It's not going to downclock itsself, you need to set it to 1.65 volt, which is higher than intel recommended voltage of 1.5 volt (or 5% more than that). But you can set that yourself and it will work like a charm.
