I want it to play almost any game in Ultra settings!

Specs: (i don't know if these are enough for Ultra settings but yea)

Corsair Graphite 760T

MSI X99S SLI Plus

Intel Core i7 5820K 3,3GHz Socket 2011-3 Box

MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming HDMI DP 2xDVI 4GB

If you can help, can you please tell me if the parts i listed above is strong enough for my expectations.

I haven't found the rest of the parts and thats where i was hoping for your help!

I need a:
Power suply
i was thinking 2 ssd's
1 hard drive
RAM atleast 2
Disc drive (hopefully blue-ray)
Water cooling suply

Sorry if i forgot something.

PS: I would also like some video editing and photoshoping ;)

I'm not english so sorry for bad grammar. :)

This is my first time building so i was hoping for help.

Thanks!

It looks good. Just a couple of things.

1. You mentioned possibly wanting a Blu Ray player, the optical drive you selected is only a DVD/CD drive. I mention this because when I first looked at it I thought it was a Blu Ray drive, and it was inexpensive. So I looked at the specs, and it isn't. The BEBE in the title threw me off.
2. Be careful with the OEM versions of windows. They don't come with any tech support other than the initial 30 day or so warranty. I ended up purchasing the 8.1 pro version from the windows website, it comes with lifetime tech support (that I have been told will carry over to the free windows 10 upgrade).. Yes it was $200 but it has the features I want and I hate it when I need to figure out why something...

First: You do not need an i7. Use a lower end and buy a better graphics card. Ex: i5, i3 or Intel Pentium G3258.
Second: 4gb ram at minimum and I'd personally use 8gb, especially for photoshoping.
Third: The case you left out I believe should be roomy and should have lots of fans.
Fourth: One SSD with 120gbs or more is best . Then pick up a 1TB Hard Drive
Fifth: Power Supply needs at least 500WATTs
Sixth: Like a said lower processor better graphics card especially for photoshop and Ultra
Seventh: Amazing English

Everything on here is the best bang for budget components you want for your build.

Yep. mostly agree with your selection:
- I took that cooler because it just looks cooler than yours ;)
- Same reason I picked the mouse: If you are ready to throw 1800 USD at a machine (when you can reach mostly the same performance for 1200) it might as well look nice :)

As for the mobo: I would still argue that the Asus z97 is nicer: it's got the sound and other features from the RoG series and Asus superb build quality.

At the end of the day, if you are going to play at 1080p max settings, all you really need is a 4690K, a z97 MoBo, a GTX970 and a 1ms/120+hz Monitor. The rest is just really not AS important

for 1080p that will do very nicely.
the power supply is terrible.
if you want to save money on a power supply then check out the rosewell capstone 750W Gold, that's the best bang for buck. I only recommend the EVGA G2 750 or 850W if people have money or want an easier time on wiring.
