Hey guys...
I'm building a gaming pc for myself..
Please review this and tell me if you want to make any changes..^_^

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3cBKnQ

The GPU i'm gonna buy is this one-http://www.zotac.com/products/graphics-cards/geforce-900-series/product/geforce-900-series/detail/geforce-gtx-970-amp-extreme-edition.html
(It's much sexier and can someone tell me the length of this GPU?)

And i thought of buying Gigabyte G1.Sniper B5..
But i started to have doubts coz it doesnt have any vga or dvi port..only HDMI
(current monitor has vga)
Or this one..
http://www.flipkart.com/msi-h97-gaming-3-motherboard/p/itmdwrbygzzhqtpn
But people say Gigabyte has better quality..

And i also want to know if there'll be any incompatibilities..
Eg-CPU wont fit mobo or mbo wont fit Case..Stuff like that..
😛

BTW...The PSU is also good,right?
I assume it has all the necessary cables for mobo and GPU...
Please check that too..

Sorry...if i'm asking too much..
I'm really nervous..Coz I'm buying every part online..
I dont want to go through all that hassle of returning if it doesnt work...😀

Thank you..

Everything looks fitting; I suppose you have worked out storage yourself?
A few pointers tough;

Did you deliberately leave out an optical drive?

As for the HDMI, it won't be an issue as long as your GPU is working correctly. Very likely it will just work.
The only situation where you need to plug your monitor into your modo is when your GPU is not properly detected and you need to troubleshoot it in the bios, however this is very unlikely to happen (but it can).

You are using VGA? I don't think the gtx 970 has VGA. What kind of screen do you have? DVI or Displayport is what you want to use; best resolution support and image quality.
The GTX 970 is a very nice card but all the graphical power amounts to nothing if you don't have a...

I'm from India too. The dimensions of that Zotac card are:
• Height: 141.22mm (5.56in)
• Length: 299.97mm (11.81in)
• Width: Triple slot

Get the full details of that card from here.

You are fine with the build. But the length of the video card is 300mm. To fit this in, you have to remove the drive cages as said in PC part picker

That flipkart link mobo (MSI H97) suits your processor well. According to me, according to motherboard masters, ASUS > Gigabyte > MSI.. You can refer here too.

Yeah...I have A 500GB HDD..
So i dont want to buy a new one..
And the optical drive..I have an old pc at home..So dont need it either..
This pc's sole purpose is for Gaming...:3

Yeah...I thought so..
I'll go with the Asus H97 pro gamer..^_^

I have a Dvi to VGA converter..So DVI...
I'm buying this GPU coz this is the only card in that price range which can play Watch Dogs @Ultra
:)

Alright, sounds good!
The image quality through the vga adapter will be reduced; it might be worth it to upgrade your screen to one with native DVI support (maybe somewhere in the future), so you can enjoy those ultra settings in their full glory! (It does make a difference)

According to Tom's hardware's PSU quality Tier list, that Corsair CS series is in 4th category, that is tier three. It gives high inrush current and ripple levels (inconsistent current flow) to the components at high loads. Gaming means high load. I recommend Antec or Seasonic PSU for steady current from +12 V rail. Don't ever compromise on PSU, it can damage the components connected to it in seconds.

For that CC 830 case, the specs look good. But the Cooler Master K281 Mid Tower Cabinet or Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus Mid Tower Cabinet looks better for your needs. The 431 (as the number says) has much more support than 281.

Yes, the Gigabyte G1 Sniper B5 is a badass, it has a HDMI port. (NEVER REFER PRODUCT SPECS IN FLIPKART). I think you chose the best answer soon.

Oh...about the case..

This one looks good too..

No no..The problem with that mobo is it has only HDMI port..
I wanted atlease VGA or DVI port..
As Lannister in the North mentioned..
There's no guarantee that the display will work with GPU unless i tweak it in BIOS..
