Hello,

I am trying to build a $1,500 PC build, and need some advise. I have gone threw PC Part Picker and this is what i came up with. Will it play games on High settings? Here is the list of parts:

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($438.95 @ DirectCanada)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($36.99 @ DirectCanada)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($174.97 @ DirectCanada)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($64.98 @ DirectCanada)
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($118.77 @ Amazon Canada)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB ACX 2.0 Video Card ($436.78 @ DirectCanada)
Case: Cooler Master Storm Enforcer ATX Mid Tower Case ($103.42 @ DirectCanada)
Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply ($59.99 @ DirectCanada)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM (64-bit) ($130.98 @ Newegg Canada)

Total: $1565.83

Thank You.

The only comment I have since you seem to have been paying attention to current build solutions is
that the power supply isn't really hefty enough if you capitalize on a dual 970 solution in a year or so.

EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply.

In the alternative you could back down the CPU to the i5 4690K and a lower cost MB and
switch in a 980 which in balance is more horsepower and allows you to jump a bit higher
later with SLI.

Or you could read this thread through and see what an idiot I am:
