Hello everyone,

I'm planning a very big expensive build for the beginning of next year and I'm quite excited about it.
I'm going to be using it for a mix of gaming and rendering. I might overclock it, but I'm not sure if it will even be worth it.
Anyhow, I was just wondering if any of the lovely people on this forum would have time to give my build a quick check over for me. I think I have been fairly thorough, but a second set of eyes always helps.
Thanks

Here's mah build:
• MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB 100 Million Edition Video Card
• NZXT H440 (Green & Black) Case
• Intel Core i7-4820K 3.7GHz Quad-Core Processor
• Corsair H80i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
• Gigabyte GA-X79-UD3 ATX LGA2011 Motherboard
• 2x Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory (I will probably start with only one lot of 16GB then add another if necessary)
• Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
• Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
• Corsair CX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
• BenQ XL2411Z 144Hz 24.0" Monitor main
• BenQ GL2450HT 60Hz 24.0" Monitor secondary
• Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2014 Wired Gaming Keyboard

Thanks Again

I came into some money recently so I have a pretty big budget but I do need to keep it under about $3000. Can you recommend a better CPU?
