Hello, I am looking at making my first build. I am looking at buying the following parts and I am unsure what PSU I would need and what fans I would need.

Parts:
CPU - Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard - Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 5 Intel LGA1150 Z97 ATX (This might change)
Hardrive - Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB 2.5 inch Solid State Drive
Memory - Corsair Vengeance Pro Series 16GB 2400Mhz DDR3
Graphics Card - EVGA GeForce GTX 970 FTW+ ACX 2.0+ 4GB GDDR5

I will most likely overclock the cpu as people can get upto around 5GHz although I probably won't go past 4.5/4.5 myself.

This currently comes to a total of around £830 so the maximum I am willing to spend on the fan, psu and case is roughly £200 it can go above or below a little.

Thanks

Since im not really good with computers. Why would I pick this over the parts I have picked. I plan on mainly playing csgo and arma3. The parts I already picked had good reviews for such games.

Just wondering.

1) i5 and i7 have little to no difference in gaming especially Arma and CS:GO since those games are very CPU-oriented.
2) I chose the Skylake i5 which will have a better upgrade path to next-gen i7 processors.
3) SSD + HDD combo is always nice to have.
4) RAM? It's RAM. Nothing special. It is just good.
5) In 1000 pound budget, you can get R9 390X which is better than GTX 970 and has double the VRAM which means it can hold better at higher resolutions.
6) If you want to overclock, you better get an aftermarket cooler so that you keep the CPU cool.

Overall, both your and my builds far exceed the needs you have.
