Hi everyone!

First time posting and first time building my own PC. I’ve posted on a few danish sites, but without much luck :)

I’ve researched for about a month now and my component list this far looks like this:

- Intel Core i5-4690K or Intel Core i7-4790K
- Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD
- Asus Z97-Pro
- Asus GeForce GTX 970 4GB STRIX
- Kingston HyperX Beast 2 x 8GB DDR3-1866 MHz
- EVGA SuperNOVA 750W G2
- NZXT Kraken X61 CPU Cooling

Should I avoid, change or add anything here?

The plan is to build it into a Fractal Design Define R5 Windowed case. My plan is to put the CPU Cooling radiator in the front with an extra fan(case comes with 1 as standard) Can anyone confirm that it will fit and work? I’ve made a picture showing what I mean. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img673/591/PqR0Gy.png

The PC is mainly for gaming high end games and streaming at the same time. Its going to be in my living room so style and noise level is very important to me!

No need to change anything. Everything is perfect, good choice of hardware. Get an i5-4690k no need for an i7. PSU 750W is not overkill, you can SLI later. Good luck with the build.

If you are going to game and stream at the same time get the i7 :) Everything is ok with the build. PSU is a bit overkill but it's okay for future upgrades. For the radiator, yes it will work, just make sure that the tubing is long enought. Good luck with the build :)
