I was completely new to this about a month ago until I started researching. After just an hour of research I made my first build which to be honest was complete and utter $#!% because I had no idea what was going on and it can be found here http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/xsyQWZ (it's pretty funny). I've been researching non stop for a month and have made a build I can be proud of. It was an amazing feeling when I could first read stats that someone else has compiled and 100% understand them. All I want is comments on the build so far or suggestions on part improvements. I'll be playing games like ARMA III and Battlefield 4 on a hopeful ultra at 1080p. Last question but would this build be appropriate for overclocking, Thanks! http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/Bkjhcf
Solution
You can keep it like that it's a nice build for 1080p and you will be able to play Battlefield 4 on ultra settings @1080p
The GTX 970 is the sweetspot atm at 1080p and the 4690k is a great CPU for gaming and also has great OCing potential with that cooler.
8gb RAM is totally fine for 1080p gaming except for Total War.
7200rpm Barracudas are nice i use them too for years without any problems and the Samsung SSD is as good as it gets.
750w may be a bit much at the moment but i think you maybe plan to SLI the 970 in the future? If thats the case 750w is perfect.
Have fun building nice research.

It's a good PC for your needs and its pre built and comes with a 2 year warranty so it saves you building one yourself.

You can't though it's less than $150 and you get a two year warranty, if it messes up and considering this is your first time there's a good chance you might mess up and if you do its on you and there's no way to refund the products. Think of it as insurance.
