Hello everyone ! I am going to buy myself a PC that I'll use to play games on and maybe even record some gameplays and upload them to youtube.
The thing is, I want to hear your opinions about this build and what you think I should probably change, without changing the price too much.
So, here is the build :

Processor : Intel Core I7 4790k
Motherboard : Asus Maximus VII Ranger
Graphics Card : Msi Geforce GTX 980 4G Gaming
HDD : Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200rpm
SSD : Samsung 850 EVO 2.5
RAM : Corsair DDR3 8192MB 1600MHz CL10 Vengeance Rev.A
Case : NZXT Phantom 630
Cooler : Noctua NH-D15
PSU : Corsair RM750
DVD-RW(idk if it's called like that) : ASUS DVD-RW DDRW-24F1ST/BLK/G/AS
Monitor : LED BenQ GL2450HM, Full HD, 2 ms GTG
Mouse + Keyboard : CM Storm Octane
Speakers : Logitech Z623

Any suggestion will be taken in consideration. Thank you !
 
Solution
- GTX970 is the best value card for 1080p gaming IMHO
- get a CL9 1600 MHz Ram
- consider getting Fractal Design R4?
- consider getting Seasonic EVO 750W, Fully modular and superb quality PSU
- consider getting Ducky/Filco/Deck Mechanical keyboard?


Thanks a lot ^_^. I read about them from the site you gave me and also watched some unboxings and reviews and I think I might stick to them :) .
