Hi everyone.

My father built this computer some time ago, but its time to say goodbye and build a new one.
I've been searching for days and I want to make a rig to run next gen games at least at high or very high resolution.
This is where I want your help , I'm not any expert ( yet :p ) so I want to know your opinion about the GPU , the motherboard and about the CPU, to help me to choose the best , for the lowest price.

The PC I'm using actually is this :

Halfmann Mid Tower Case
AMD FX 6200 Six Core Processor
Asus M5A78L LE
4 GB Ram
Nvidia GeForce 630
1TB HDD

The PC I want to build is this :

NZXT H440 Case
Motherboard - Asus Z97-A ( I've heard about MSI Z97 Gaming 5 ) - Budget - 150$
Intel Core i7 4790k - Budget - 350$
Water Cooling - Corsair Hydro H110 - Budget - 110$
GPU - Asus GeForce GTX 960 - Budget - 250$ ( Help with this GPU please !! )
8GB Ram
PSU - 1Life Ps Jet 600w
1TB Samsung Storage
And some fans for the case - 2 Corsair Air Series AF120 High Airflow and 1 Corsair Air Series High Airflow AF140 ( Both White Led and Quiet Edition )

The total Budget is around 800 - 920$.

Now, I want to know if I get a good PC, and if I picked well the components.
My biggest problem is the GPU and the Motherboard.

Thanks :)

you need a real psu like seasonic/xfx/antec hcg/evga B2-G2 etc...
no need for a watercooling stuff here if you are not going to do overclocking like a hell
for gaming a i5 4690K is plenty enough
get a gtx 970 if possible
just notice that you can not install any king of 5 inches dvd writer drive or fan controller or multicard reader at the front of this pc case

Call me crazy but I prefer my CPU water cooled :p

The GTX 970 it's kinda expensive..

Can you indicate me a cheaper water cooling so I can buy a better GPU .. ?

You really really DON'T need water cooling unless you are planning to heavily OC your processor, and IF that is the case they water cooling isn't really the place to be going for a "cheap" option. Water cooling is expensive and risky and simply isn't worth the extra effort UNLESS you really intend on pushing your machine a long way... water cooling sounds cool, but should be thought about pretty carefully. You can get a decent fan cooler for half the price which I am sure will be more than enough.
