Is this build a decent build? Need help with asap thanks.

[ItsLogicon]

Ok so basically I have a budget that is pretty tight considering I am trying to get some of the best hardware (Not the actual best just great hardware) for a decent price. Now the Graphics Card in this build is already bought and I got it for a amazing deal currently using it with my current build don't ask its a pretty bad build. But the link to the build I am going to be making will be below I need opinions like is the build look all well and good? Big thanks. I will check back every 3 or so minutes for responses so don't worry if you write I will respond. (P.S. I only buy from Amazon so prices may be a little higher then other sites. Better experience with Amazon that's all)

Should have said this but the reason for choosing the Computer Case and the Processor CPU Cooler is for that reason I do not like AIO Liquid Coolers and the Air cooler Noctua has proven really nice so I want the CPU Cooler no matter what that's another reason for that Computer Case cause it can support it. But thanks.

The reason for choosing the new i7 4790k is because I do alot of editing and cpu thread intensive programs so that is the reason for that cpu. As the Graphics Card I plan on upgrading in the future but the current Graphics Card is sufficient enough for what I am needing. I just wanted to double check if my current build is good enough and compatible cause PC Part Picker isn't always correct about Compatible parts. Thank you for the recommendation though I will look into that build you made very nice build for gaming though. I am a gamer but not super major. (Plus that CPU Cooler I have chosen is a must for me I do not like Liquid Cooler's and the NH-D15 actually performs better then the H110 and the H110 performs better then the H100i so actually the cpu cooler I want performs better then most AIO Liquid Coolers without chance of leak at all.)

Sorry, but that build is horrible. The CPU cooler is bad and overpriced, and that PSU is an overkill. Also, Vengeance LP RAM is ok.

why does everyone say that it can be expanded to graphics cards and other components especially with its great pump. Its not really overpriced its around the price of a h100

One of the Best Air Cooling CPU Cooler's I have found and found nothing but good reviews. It performs better then most AIO Liquid Cooler's with less chance of leak's and longer life span. So I am ok with spending a little more money for something that outperforms or equally rivals a Corsair H110 AIO Liquid Cooler so that is my reason for CPU Cooler. But besides the cooler what else inside the build do you dislike? Just so I can take it and think about it.

My point exactly a AIO Liquid Cooler performs Equally if not Worse then the NH-D15 Noctua CPU Cooler and is about the same price but will last longer (In My Opinion) And will have no chance of leak cause its air cooling.

I'm talking about kunthakenthe's build, not yours. Yours is pretty good.

My apologize I was thinking you where referring to the Noctua CPU Cooler. So my bad on that one should have thought that through.

Hmm I am not really well with performance with Intel Xeon Processor's haven't looked into them much. Could you maybe show a performance difference between that Intel Xeon Processor vs The i7 4790k Processor? Just curious on performance difference. Big thanks ahead of time.

sure let me explain then get some links. First the xeon processors are server/workstation processor or are meant for proffessional work though it can be used for gaming. Xeon feature the hyperthreading in i7's, the same amount of cache, same amount of core the only thing is the xeons cant be overclocked and dont have onboard gpus.

Stay with the i7 4790K, the Xeon processors are mostly for workstations or servers. If you buy a Xeon processor the cpu cooler will be useless, because you would not be able to overclock.

i know thats why i said no overclocking and got him a h97 mobo. if he really wants to overclock then the z97 amd i7 4790k is good but the xeons are great.

Thanks for the informative information about the Xeon Processors. As I will be using this computer build I am working on putting together I will also be doing gaming nothing major but I happen to like one of the most intensive games that are horribly un-optimized so in my free time I would like to play that game. Some may know the game (DayZ Standalone, Arma 3, Arma 2) Those 3 games are the most I play and is some of the most un-optimized and cpu intensive games. So between gaming and work related stuff im thinking the i7 will perform better in my case. But thank you for information.

Hmm so from what I have gathered i7 and the Intel Xeon processor you recommended are about the same but the i7 does happen to have Overclock Capabilities and can prove helpful in the future when the cpu will become sluggish in performance and slower. So I do happen to think that will come in handy in future times. I am leaning towards the i7 4790k for that main reason. Have any of you heard anything bad about the i7 4790k processor? Or is it all mildly high reviews on it?

nothing bad actually except that they run hot but you will have a cpu cooler so that doesnt matter. i would go for the i7 as you can afford the xeon is pure workstation or poor people who want a i7.lol
