Advice on a surprise new PC for my wife :)

[Sinate]

Dear all,

I am currently planning a new system for my wife for her Birthday, she is heavily into gaming and enjoys games like Archeage and the Witcher 3 but her PC is around 5 years old now and the games do not look thier best on low settings. Currently she has a fully tower and hates it, so a mini build would be perfect.

I am based currently in Germany, so my selection of hardware I can get my hands on is less than what you would get in the US 🙁

Here is what I have so far, I am hoping it will run most things on high at 1440p.

i7 4970k @ 4.0Ghz
Corsair H100i
MSI Z97i Gaming
Corsair Vengeance Pro Red 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz
MSI GTX 980 Twin Frozr 5
500GB Samsung Evo 850 SSD
1TB Toshiba 7200rpm HDD
230mm Bitfenix Spectre front (Intake)
2 x 120mm Noctua NF-F12 top with H100 radiator (intake)
1 x 120mm Noctua NF-F12 back (Exhaust)
Be quiet! Pure Power 630W
Bitfenix Prodigy Black
Side panel vent

Dell U2515H 1440p monitor

Thank you for any comments or input.

That's what all men say, she will love this super toaster, 50 custom settings, 10 time zones, not only does gourmet toasts but wash your clothing as well! 😀

Hehe it is indeed for my wife Wish it was for me.

Well I assume that there is nothing obviously wrong with it as there are no comments. So that is a big plus
