Hi guys!
I've been out of the hardware game for a while, but I need a completely new rig build as my old trusty laptop is just no cutting it anymore.
I do gaming. A lot. Mostly 4X or shooters but I do like to lay my hands on most major AAA titles (Inquistion prompted this new rig need).
The $1400 mark is for the PC only. I still need a monitor, aiming for either 1080p or 1440p. I plan to be playing from the couch, around 7 feet (2 meters) from the screen, so thinking 27 to 32 inches.
I should probably note I'm from Poland, so there will be some price variations, shouldn't be much of a problem with availability though (EU, after all). Anyway, don't fret and just link stuff from the usual retailers.
This is what I've come up with so far:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($319.88 @ OutletPC)
CPU Cooler: RAIJINTEK THEMIS 65.7 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.99 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: ASRock Z97 EXTREME4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($125.98 @ Newegg)

Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card ($345.99 @ B&H)
Power Supply: be quiet! Dark Power Pro 10 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($159.90 @ Newegg)
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer ($13.99 @ Newegg)

I plan to overclock and get a two-way SLI setup running at some point in the future.
I have no idea about the cooling and the PSU is a bit of a guess as well, so suggestions about those are particularly welcome.
I'm an Intel/Nvidia fanboy, so stick to those if you have suggestions in that area. Every other component is free game. Though I do feel better about the brands of the more recognizable variety.
As for the case I was planning on getting a Fractal Design Define R4/R5, just because they look sooo nice and have great organizing features. But feel free to point out alternatives.
Thanks for help in advance
