Hi!
First off i would like to say thank you for any responses made. I appreciate all of you who take your time of to help me.

I might as well get right to it, and ask if this is a good gaming PC, for the total cost of 1.400,21 USD. As well as; does the components in the gaming PC match well? Is there something i should spend more on/less on. Change or remove?

Here are the SPECS:

- Case: Fractal Design Define R4 - Sound Proofed - Titanium Grey
- Power Supply: Corsair RM850 - 80plus Gold - 850W PSU
- Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VII RANGER
- Cooling: Corsair Hydro H55 Quiet Performance
- RAM: Kingston HyperX Beast Dual Channel DDR3-2400 - 8GB (2x4GB)
- Graphics Card: Asus GeForce GTX 960 Strix - 2GB GDDR5
- Processor: Intel Core i5-4690K - 3.5 GHz (4 cores - 4 strings) - Devils Canyon (Unlocked multiplier)
- Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 - 1TB
And i am assuming any DVD drive and Wireless Network card can be used.

1. I'm wondering how much you're spending on that PSU, as it's over spec for your system. If you're getting it for a good price, I have no objections.
2. H55 has poor performance for the money
3. Motherboard is way too fancy for your needs
4. A $1400 build should have more than a GTX 960 - I would probably have a GTX 980 in a $1400 build to be honest
5. I would also have an SSD in a $1400 build.

alot of money waste were if can be used for something better like the GPU,
first there is no need for such an overkill Psu, a 500w will be more than enough, 2400mhz ddr 3? you can get a 1600/1866 for 60$, ram doesnt effect gaming, you can also get a 125$ z97 board that will OC just as good as that premium you picked out, unless you need the features of the board a 125$ board will do just as good, use the money you saved from changing things around and get a 970 or r9 290 and also a SSD for the OS

you can also dropped the K and Cooler and get a i5 4440/4460 and a h97 which will save you another 100-200$.
