I want to build my first PC build this year (Id say during the summer period) for predominately gaming however I will be a student soon so I will also need to use it for coursework etc.
My budget will be £2000 but obviously for a first time build I would prefer going lower. So far I have this setup in mind but also keep in mind that as a first time builder it may not be that great.
CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM
Motherboard: MSI X99S Gaming 7 (not sure on this)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Seagate Desktop HDD 4TB 3.5" 5900RPM Internal Hard Drive
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Video Card (hopefully the price may come down due to the impeding release of the Pascal)
Case: Corsair 750D ATX Full Tower Case
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P2 1000W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX (Maybe overkill however I do feel it is best to invest heavily into a power supply for future upgrades)
Total: £1450
Bear in mind that this does not include a monitor as although the 980TI is complete overkill for 1080p gaming I do want to invest in a 1440p monitor in a year or two. Also I will need to invest into other peripherals such as mouse and keyboard.
As a lasting note concerning the CPU is a i7 5820k worth the extra investment compared to a i7 4790k? I will be using this rig for a variety of purposes such as coursework and maybe some video editing but it will be used mostly for gaming.
Thank you for your time
