Hello there,
I'm in the phase of building my next gaming computer. Note: [I'm also going to do streaming]
So far these are the confirmed items:-
1-CPU: i7-box 4790 (3.6GHZ, LGA1150, VGA)
2-GPU: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
3-HDD: 1TB HDD 7200RPM WD10EZEX 64 MB SATAIII/600 2RZ
4-SSD: 2.5 "250 GB Samsung 850
5- PSU: Seasonic SS-600ET 600W 80 Plus Bronze bulk
Now, I need help deciding the rest of the items
- Mobo: ASUS Z97-A or ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO or MSI Z97 GAMING 5 (B)
- RAM: 16 GB 1866MHZ KINGSTON HYPERX XMP BEAST, 2X8GB or CRUCIAL BALLISTIX TACTICAL 2X8GB 1600MHZ DDR3 CL8 UDIMM 1.5V
- Cooling system: CORSAIR LIQUID COOLING HYDRO SERIES H75, 120MM FAN, 31.4 DB(A) or CORSAIR LIQUID COOLING™ H100i
- & lastly, regarding the case which one of these two would be a better option? CORSAIR COMPUTER CASE CARBIDE SERIES AIR 540 HIGH AIRFLOW ATX CUBE CASE, WHITE or Fractal design Node 304 White Edition (This one is a mini-compacted system, which is kinda cool, but I'm worried regarding items fitments).

Note: Please, propose substitutes in-case of a disagreement on a certain item. Also, it would be nice if you mention your background expertise.

Thanks

Simply put: Don't go with Kingston SSD's. You won't find many...

Ah, okey what about this SSD: 240 GB KINGSTON HYPERX 3K SSD SATA 3, 2.5 "9.5 MM, is it by any means better than the samsung one?
Also, for the proposed PSU, it's not available in the local store I'm collecting my items from. Any other solutions?

Simply put: Don't go with Kingston SSD's. You won't find many better than the Samsung's. Look for an EVGA 600w, or XFX 550w and above. Also Seasonic 600w+ if you can find them.
