Hi,
I’d like some help with my custom PC build. Any advice would be really appreciated!
PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/spJt4D
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($299.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($129.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($140.99 @ NCIX US)
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($189.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($89.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0 Video Card ($344.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Case: Corsair 500R Black ATX Mid Tower Case ($69.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000G2 1000W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($119.99 @ Newegg)
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer ($16.99 @ Newegg)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 - 64-bit (OEM) (64-bit) ($96.99 @ Best Buy)
Total: $1499.90
1) Is this build too extreme seeing as I won’t be overclocking? I’m buying the i7k because of the black Friday sale and figured the extra power would be nice for the slight price increase. Also figured it would make the rig better for future performance.
2) Do we need a CPU cooler?
3) What is a good networking card if I got google fiber?
4) Any good case suggestions?
5) Any monitor recommendations?
6) Any thoughts on where I can save $ with black Friday deals? This is my first PC build and would prefer to keep costs down where possible (even though it doesn’t look like I want to…)
Primary uses: gaming (hence the SSD), storage (lots of it, hence the HDD), photo editing, general use. I’d like a computer that has good bones so that any future upgrades several years down the line are limited to a few pieces (i.e. a new graphics card, cooler, etc.).
Thank you in advance!
