Anything I should change?

I'd prefer you not to downgrade anything for storage parts I have a 250gb SSD and and a 500 GB HDD at home to add onto it also I'm trying to stick with the white and black theme... and one more thing If there are any wires or anything that arent included add them on in the custom part list that would be very helpful

It is an awesome system. Personally, I prefer the SSD to be at least 240 GB, rather than the 120 GB part you chose, but you can certainly make it work with that capacity.

The ram you have selected is a little on the slow side. You probably won't notice a difference in reality, but I'd get faster ram if it were my system

If you have the money to blow, these are great cable kits too. Really make the system look nice

And if this is a gaming rig, you're wasting money on the 4970k. Grab the 4690k. You won't notice a difference.

Does no one read other posts before posting here?

AMDThunder :

I do but i've looked into it... the hyperthreading is extremely useful for gaming along with the 4.0 ghz opposed to 3.5 I'm sticking with the I7

Jack Eurick :

You are wrong sir. Games for the most part can't take advantage of multi threading. The i7 is throwing money at nothing. If you've got money to burn, knock yourself out.

jimthenagual :

Very useful response but which out of those 3 cable mods do I buy because those white cables would look sexy in my build

AMDThunder :

The games that take advantage of hyperthreading have a big buff in FPS and game devs are starting to get into the trend of using it... Also the overclocking potentials are outrageously good for a z97 chip. And the .5 ghz extra ghz gives better out of the box performance along with higher overclocking potential. I5 4690k is better for bang for the buck performance but since I have the money I'm going to go with the i7

Jack Eurick :

Contact them directly to confirm, but I believe you'd want the G2/P2 set. It looks like they are referring to the EVGA G2/P2 PSUs. http://cablemod.com/product/cablemod-e-series-g2-p2-cable-kit-white/

Btw, I went with an i7 in my build too because, why not. As you said, not the best bang for the buck as they say, but it does perform better.
