I always come here to finalize my build and get your suggestions/opinions before buying, so here I am again.
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
-Above all, it's a gaming rig
-Live streaming
-Light editing and PS work
-Multitasking
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
-$1800-1900 USD
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
-USA
5. IF YOU have a brand preference.
-NVIDIA, Intel
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
-Using all my current peripherals, CD drive, two 1TB HDDs from current setup, as well as my two monitors (24" and 23")
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
-No plans to overclock, though I may in the future once I learn to
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?
-1920x1200
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
-There's really no rush, as soon as I finalize the build
*Note: I have two unopened 240gb SSD's from Black Friday - won't be buying addtional storage space
---------------------
So with that being said here's what I've pieced together to far.
CPU - Intel Core i7-4790K Haswell Quad-Core 4.0GHz
GPU - GTX 970 x 2 (SLI) I'm 100% set on EVGA, I just can't decide on which model to get, thoughts?
MOBO - ASUS SABERTOOTH Z97 (currently using the Z77 and very happy with it)
PSU - Could use some suggestions, not sure what wattage I should be aiming for.
RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
HDD - Will be swapping current HDD's into new system (Two 1TB drives)
SSD - Two 240gb SSD's, already purchased.
Case - NZXT Phantom 630 Windowed Edition
Don't think I'm missing anything, so let me know what you guys would add/change.
-Thanks
