Hello everyone!
I've used this site plenty of times in the past for computer related questions and advice, but I've never used the forums, so this is my first post!
I'm going to be building myself a computer in the near future (waiting to see what deals I can possibly get through the end of November) and was wondering what you guys think about what I have so far (I'm fairly certain it's all compatible)? I've built two computers already (including my current one, 4-5 years old now), so the installation won't be an issue, I'm just a bit out of the loop with all these new components!
I don't really have a budget, was aiming for around $1500, although I don't mind going over if it means future proofing for a while longer. Here's where I'm at:
CPU - Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0 GHz Quad-Core ($330)
HEATSINK - Noctua NH-U14S ($70)
MOBO - Asus Maximus VII Hero LGA 1150 Intel Z97 ($205)
GPU - EVGA 04G-2974-KR GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked 4GB ($350)
RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 ($175)
SSD - SAMSUNG 850 Pro Series 2.5" 256GB SATA III ($180)
HDD - WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, 64 MB Cache - WD10EZEX ($55)
PSU - EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 220-G2-0750-XR 750W ($110)
CASE - Cooler Master HAF X ($170)
Total = $1645
No plans currently for overclocking the CPU unless it's necessary, but I tried to build around that possibility... just in case
Any advice/comments/recommendations/etc would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
