Kingston SSDNow V300, 120 GB SSD

Crucial 8 GB DDR3-1600 Kit, RAM

Intel® Core i5-4690K, 3,5 GHz (3,9 GHz Turbo Boost) socket 1150 processor

Seagate Barracuda 7200.14, 2 TB Hard Drive

Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO, CPU-cooler

MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G, GPU

Cooler Master K280, Case

be quiet! Shadow Wings SW1 120 mm PWM, Case fan

MSI Z97 PC Mate, socket 1150 Motherboard

Thanks for the quick reply.

i checked a bit more and it seems youre right.
the Sandisk SSD Plus, 120 GB (SDSSDA-120G-G25, SATA/600) has better write and read speed, also its on sale for 45 euros right now so is this any good?

also i was worrying that the PSU might not have enough power (600w), do you think this is the case? if so, i would happily upgrade it to 700w for example

get something like a samsung evo if u can cuz they r fast and reliable.....
600w is enough but i dnt see it in the tier list... i suggest get a 620w seasonic SII psu which is tier 2 and good quality... if u want a coolermaster one go for the v or the vs series

SLI is basically 2 gpus working together right? if so, i never plan on doing that for at least a couple of years. and the SSD is mostly for my windows to run on only (yeah i could get a 60gb one but the 120gb ones are only 5 euros more expensive so why not :p)

Thanks for the link though, ill look into it!

The non SLI boards tend to not be very good for overclocking, as they typically are only 4 phase powered boards. Granted some cheap SLI boards are setup like this as well. I wouldn't go below 6 phase, like the MSI Krait edition, preferably 8 phase, like the Z97 gaming 5.

I wont be overclocking heavily though (to 4.5 ghz for example) if that makes a difference. Also, if i get a better motherboard i will go over my budget of about 1k (ive already gone over it by 50 bucks now and dont want to go over that alot more tbh)

I live in the Netherlands, so its pretty close :p i would have to pay alot for shipping though.

Thing is, i wont be building it myself since i dont feel confident enough to do so and when i get it pre build (for 50 bucks only) i also get a 2 year warrenty when something goes wrong.

I plan on getting it pre build at www.alternate.nl (theres also a .co.uk version) and they dont have alot of what you picked out for me :/

Yeah prebuild gaming pc's are usually very bad. i've seen alot of sites having pre build gaming pc's for 1k euros and then they focus on getting an intel i7 in there and then run out of money so they go for a shitty gpu... hell, ive even seen cases where they skipped out on the gpu as a whole and said the integrated graphics would be good enough :p
