Hi guys i'm hoping you can help me on this one.

I'm thinking of building a gaming rig but i will also be using it for a few design and editing projects, so can you help out choosing the components? My budget is around 1750/1800€ including an LG ultra wide 29" monitor (309€) (this is my first custom build)

The components i was thinking of:

Motherboard: http://www.chiptec.n...z97-sk1150.html

CPU: intel core i5 4690, 4690k or above?

GPU: Msi GTX 980 gaming 4g, or will the gtx 970 FTW do the job on this ultra wide monitor?

RAM: 8Gb Hyper x fury 1866Mhz? I'm considering 16Gigs of ram, not sure though

SSD: should i go with a 250Gb or 480Gb? The one i first chose was the crucial bx100 2.5 Sata III 250 GB
HDD: 2TB toshiba 7200 rpm

Case: http://www.chiptec.n...r-red-gold.html

Monitor: http://www.chiptec.n...fullhd-5ms.html

Power supply: Nox hummer 80 plus bronze 750W? or higher?


Thank you.

For CPU, at that budget go for i7-4790K

None of the links work. If the monitor is 4K then get GTX 980 or 980 Ti. If it's 1080p or 1440p, GTX 970 can do the job.

8GB of RAM is enough for any gaming purposes.

If you want an SSD at that big budget, go Samsung, they make the highest quality SSDs out there.

For HDD, Western Digital Black 2TB+ would be the best at that budget.

For power supply, get anything from Supernova GS, G2, P2 Series - they are the highest quality units out there.

Any of these mobos will be awesome: http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Z97--DDR3-2600-Motherboards/dp/B00K2MAU5Q/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1448508195&sr=1-5&keywords=lga+1150+motherboard...
