Ok I need a pc build that I can use the oculus rift with. I also play league of legends, Far Cry 4 and NFSR. I would like to have a gtx 970, or a 390 (would love a 390x). I am fine with an i5, but i7 would be great. Skylake or haswell please, no sandybridge. I don't need thecase, or an hdd, as I already own an s340 and a wd blue 1tb. Please try to fit an ssd with 120gb or above in the build. Thanks in Advance

Just replace the RAM with Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 Memory.

Other than that, more cannot be done without losing the ability to overclock.

How much do you even know about PCs? You don't need a freaken liquid cooler. If you don't overclock, you will be fine with the stock cooler and if you do, you should be fine with a cheap one such as CM 212 EVO which is only $30.

If you don't want to overclock, there are some good cheap H170 or B150 boards out there.

1. I did minor research on pcs. 2. I will go for your build, it looks good with the hyper furies in. I will probably spring for a corsair h60 or cyorig h7 though. Thanks for your help. Best answer will be selected immediately
