This is my first build. I want to be able to game at high settings, record, and stream on top of the regular web browsing and a few movies. Let me know what you guys think, I'm pretty sure it will do what I want but will everything fit alright? Do I need to worry about the cpu cooler being in the way of anything?

CPU: i7 4790K 4.0 GHz

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

MOBO: MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory

Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Western Digital BLACK SERIES 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card: MSI GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card

Case: Corsair 500R Black ATX Mid Tower Case

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer

OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 OEM (64-bit)

Wireless Network Adapter: TP-Link TL-WDN4800 802.11a/b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter

Monitor: Asus VG248QE 144Hz 24.0" Monitor


All together the components should cost about $1700.

Everything is compatible and your CPU cooler should fit in your Corsair case (I'm saying it with confidence). The only thing I would say is to get a better quality power supply. Try to pick a power supply from at least Tier 2 in this link: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html. Otherwise, this is a solid build and will suit your needs.
