Ok so hello guys this is my very first time building my own custom pc because I cannot take my 10 year old pc so here are my chosen pc specs:

Link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nmZ8mG

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing
Motherboard: Asus Z97-PRO(Wi-Fi ac) ATX LGA1150
Memory: Kingston Fury White Series 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600
Storage: Crucial MX100 128GB 2.5" SSD
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Video Card:EVGA GeForce GTX 980 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0
Case:NZXT Phantom 410 (White) ATX Mid Tower
Power Supply:XFX 550W ATX12V
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer

Price:$1435.40

Question # 1: It says on pc parts picker that
"The NZXT Phantom 410 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case supports video cards up to 305mm long, but video cards over 230mm may block drive bays. Since the EVGA GeForce GTX 980 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0 Video Card is 267mm long, some drive bays may not be usable." Is this a problem? pls tell.

Question # 2: Will this PC build be able to run Skyrim with over 200 mods 2k or 4k realistic texture mods and enb at max settings and can this build be able to run new games such as far cry 4 and assasin's creed unity on max? my Resolution is 1366x768 but I can also try 1280x720 or 1024x768

Question #3: Pls tell if there are also any problems on my PC and If I need to overclock it also

Question#4 Is my casing also good if not pls tell me what to change on it

Question#5 Is these parts are all compatible

P.S. My Budget is only $1500

Thank You! Your Answers are very much appreciated :)

This would be better for gaming. I added a monitor, because I think it's a waste to use this build on a sub-1080p monitor. The monitor is fantastic, I have the same one and it looks like the apple one but at a fraction of the price. I used the gtx 980 strix because the fans turn off when they are not needed, making the build quieter. Are you going to do heavy overclocking? Because in that case you would need a beefier cooler.
This build can run absolutely any game on ultra. In a couple years, you could add a second gpu for better performance (right now, unnecessary).

1. Not unless you have like more than 3 drives.
2. On that resolution (I would seriously recommend upgrading your monitor!!!!!) this system can run anything.
3. Overclocking is not necessary. I would suggest you get a non k processor, it would save you money.
For this budget I think you can do better. Do you want me to recommend you a build?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH DOOD, You're helping me big time

But I am going to recieve a monitor from one of my friends in the next 2 months so I wouldn't bother buying one what can I substitute with the monitor instead?

Yes, if you want to overclock you cpu a lot, get a watercooler like the corsair h100i And a couple noctua case fans wouldn't hurt.
The case comes with one intake fan in the front and one exhaust in the rear, I would put 2 more fans one in the bottom and one in the top.

This build will be amazing. BTW, I did some research on the gtx 970s and it looks like the MSI version is quieter under load. The asus is quieter at idle. Your choice really.
Also, be sure to post pictures when you finish the build, it will be and look amazing!
