Is This a good Gaming/ Work Machine build?

[Sir_Myrddin]

Hello
I'm trying to build my first pc and right now I have a Acer aspire x3990 with 8GB of DDR3 ram. The computer I want to build will be used for Virtual machines, video producing, Music creation and gaming. My budget is about $2,000 but can go over about $500 depending.

I have a list of parts ready, but as I'm new to building pc's please tell me what you think about these parts and what alternatives I could use instead.

Thanks in advance.

From the sounds of it, you're going to be using this computer for a lot of things. I tried to give you something similar to the machine I use for video editing and AutoCad. If you're running 10+ virtual machines you may need a better processor than the 4790k, hence the reason I put in the 4930k, it's a 6 core monster. The R9 290 I added should be good for a while and has some very good OC'ing potential. The 32gb of ram is because I often find myself going over 16gb of ram video editing sometimes and it's a precaution but you could probably get away with 16gb of ram. Personally, I would wait to build a rig right now because in September intel is releasing their Haswell-E chips that will support DDR4 ram, the new x99 chipset and some very powerful processors. If you need it RIGHT NOW, this is probably the best you can get for the money. Hope this helps.

A part from Price. Can you compare the performance, of my parts list and your parts list. As I don't know really what the differences are apart from brands and prices ( To the point: What makes your parts better than mine)

''To the point: What makes your parts better than mine''
its not the fact of to be better or not....the point is if you buy the asus deluxe ...you will pay the price of luxury ( asus deluxe ) for nothing , but with the msi one you will pay a ''normal'' price for the same quality , so why pay more?

and you took the i7 4770K when you have the opportunity to have the new release of the i7 4790K ??
the new i7 4790K is not really faster then the i7 4770K but they fixed the overheat problem of the i7 4770K

i change the psu from AX to HX series because is cheaper and still good quality

its up to you ...if you have money to waste its not the samething
