Anything wrong with this build?/What do you think?/Any suggestions?

Solution


If you're set on that processor you don't need anything beyond the stock cooler that's included. The only time you really need to upgrade the cooler is when you plan on overclocking (which this CPU can't do anyways.

Might be a silly question, by why do you need the i7? If you're using the machine as a gaming platform you could go with an i5 and save some money while having the...

You should go for 1x8Gb as it is more cheap and you can upgrade it later to 2x8gb.
And you should have a watercooling system installed to keep the Temp levels low.
And also include a HDD

A couple of things i would change:
1. Get a 970 from Asus, EVGA or MSI, those are generally more reliable and have better customer support.
2. is there no HDD?
3. The PSU you chose is actually overkill and stupid expensive, have a look at the EVGA 600B, great pSU
Other than that, get a standard CPU cooler like a Hyper 212, the 4790 tends to get really hot underload

I see no reasons in buying an old architecture when for the same price you can get the new one.

i7-6700k
asrock z170 extreme 4
corsair vengeance lpx 3000mhz cl 15
gigabyte g1 gaming edition gtx 970 [i would wait for the new nvidia]
evga gs/g2/ gq 650w; antec truepower, antec edge, xfx xtr [that psu has possibilities to suffer of coilwhine]
Cpu cooler Cryorig H5
Thermaltake core v51
Samsung evo 850 250gb or Crucial MX200 205gb
WD Blue 1tb 7200rpm

sorry for the english, I'm not american

I heard that it would be better to get 2x4Gb than 1x8Gb because of multichannel or did I get that wrong?
Can I just get it air cooled?
I already have a HDD btw :D

the difference in performance is not tangible between single or dual channel, just in benchmark
