Hello everyone.

I was in need of a new build for quite a while, and now I've decided to build the PC that I'll most likely buy in the next couple of weeks. This would be my second build, so I'd like everyone to take a look and tell me if it's any good and if anything needs to be changed.

HDD: WD Blue 1TB 3.5 internal hard drive - €48.99
GPU: MSI GTX 960 4GB 4G LE - €177.99
PSU: EVGA 550W 80PLUS GOLD ECO MODE FULLY MODULAR - €71.99
RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB(2x8)DDR3 SDRAM 2400 CL11 - €93.99
MB: GIGABYTE GA-Z97M-DS3H LGA 1150 Micro-ATX - €80.99
CPU: i7 4790K Devil's Canyon 4.0GHz - €284.99
SSD: Kingston V300 series 240GB - €57.99
Case: Bitfenix Prodigy M - €85.21
CPU cooler: Corsair Hydro series H60 2013 - €83.25

Everything with shipping costs and etc. adds up to €1.081.17.

I'm not planning to upgrade this PC anytime soon, (not in the next 4 years). Plus I don't game that much anyway so I don't feel like I'll need more powerful GPU like 970 or 980Ti. Although I use programs like Photoshop and Sony Vegas, and in general use a lot of programs at one time, that's why I feel that I need to have atleast i7 and 16GB ram as they won't limit my PC as my current one is.

Anyway, I'm waiting all of your opinions on this build, thanks! :)
 
Solution
look into locked i7 skylake if it about the same price and gigbyte h170 micro atx or h170 mb. look at a 650w power supply. you want a little extra over head with power supply to keep them running cool. find the small water coolers dont cool as well as the larger brick air coolers. that are sometime cheaper then sealed water coolers. skylake cpu and ddr4 ram will give you upgrade to another intel cpu on the same chipset mb. also look at the newer 4/6 core xeon there about the same price as i7 gaming cpu. be better for work type pc. for the gpu use the onboard till newer pascal gpu drop and pick up the 960/970 replacment. it be faster and use less power then the older cards.
