I've planning to buy a gaming pc for the last 2months and from research these are the parts :
Case : Phanteks enthoo pro
CPU : Intel i5 4690k
Graphics : Gtx 970 asus strix 4gb
Motherboard : Gigabyte Ga-z97x gaming 3
Ram : Corsair vengeance pro 2x4gb 2400mhz
CPU Cooler : Coolermaster 212 hyper evo
PSU : Corsair CS650M
And probably an HDD Seagate Barracuda 1tb.

Is this a good build compatible or should i change something that will be cheaper and might perform better or the same with what i choose?

Get 1600Mhz ram since you wont feel any difference in gaming, get a better CPU cooler to OC that K (d15, d14, ph-14pe, silver arrow) and get a Seasonic PSU.

This is if you can fit it in the budget. Otherwise your stuff is good and will work well for everything you throw at it.

An ssd if in my plan for the future to add, not yet though since my budget isn't that much.. I will probably change the ram and get a 1600 or 1866 since most of them are cheaper than a 2400. About the cpu is that for a same watt as the corsair cs650m is way more overpriced that this so i don't know if i will be able to get it. As for the CPU cooler i researched and most of the people said that's it's nice but not for too much overclocking.

And one more thing about the cpu cooler, i've seen some builds where people struggle a bit with installing the cooler because it's too big and might interfere with the ram (especially with the noctua d15). I will probably choose the ph-14pe since it fits my build better and costs less...Will i have a problem fitting it in?

Thank you for all of your answers, i really appreciate it. I will think of the suggestions you made, for now i will probably get what i planned to except the RAM which i will change to a 1600 and in the future i will change some stuff like the cpu cooler or even go liquid. Thank you and wish me luck with the build!
