First self build gaming pc, everything right?

Hirtol · Mar 4, 2016

First of all, this is my first time building a pc, thus I'd like some help to see if everything is compatible/right. I've been doing my research, and I believe everything is ok, but I'd like a second opinion.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4590K
CPU Cooler: Cooler master Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard: MSI Z97 GAMING 5
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16gb (2x8) DDR3
Storage: Seagate Desktop HDD, 2TB
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0
Case: Cooler Master Silencio 452
Power Supply: EVGA 500B

This is what I've put together so far. Please tell me if something is wrong, thanks in advance

I think EVGA GPU's are a bit pricey for what they are but cant go wrong with them although I've only ever had MSI gpu's myself, I would maybe bump up the PSU a bit for futureproofing and longevity, at least get one that has a 10 year warranty for example (I dont know if that model has), I would also recommend getting at least a very small SSD as a boot drive, it will make a massive difference, nothing beats windows booting up in literally 1 second

Hirtol :

any seasonic power supply will work or an evga power supply from the g2 series

I have an evga 850w G2 gold with a 10 year warranty, works like a dream and I know it will last a rediculously long time, its also pretty good value at the moment being £99 here in the UK at most places
