Hello everyone,
I am building my first gaming PC and I was curious if there were things anyone would advise for/against. I don't mind spending a fair amount of money to have a build that will last a very long time. I would like to be able to play 4k someday when that becomes more of a thing. If this E3 did anything for me, it was convince me that it's time to get a PC for gaming instead of a console. Anyway, here is the build:
-Fractal Design Define XL R2 FD-CA-DEF-XL-R2-BL Black/Pearl Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
-EVGA 06G-P4-4992-KR GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support SC (NV Direct Board) Video Card
-2x G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL10S-8GBXL (16GB total)
-ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO/ACU LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
-ASUS Dual-Band Wireless-AC1900 PCI-E Adapter (PCE-AC68) ... I run an AC router now
-BenQ RL2755HM 27-inch 1ms GTG HDMIx2 Official MLG UMG Gaming Monitor
-Windows 7 Professional SP1 64bit (OEM) System Builder DVD 1 Pack with Seagate 3TB Desktop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST3000DM001)
-Seagate 3TB Desktop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST3000DM001) (There are two HDDs as I take a lot of photos/videos and want a second strictly as a backup drive)
-Intel Core BX80646I74790K i7-4790K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.40 GHz)
-Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E250B/AM)
-Corsair CX Series 750 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Bronze ATX12V/EPS12V 744 Power Supply CX750M
-Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan (RR-212E-20PK-R2)
-Asus 24x DVD-RW Serial-ATA Internal OEM Optical Drive DRW-24B1ST (Black)
All in all it comes in around $2400. Is there something I am missing, or perhaps even going too far overboard on? I'm open to all criticism.
Thanks!
