Comments for my gaming PC build

[Guest]

I was completely new to this about a month ago until I started researching. After just an hour of research I made my first build which to be honest was complete and utter $#!% because I had no idea what was going on and it can be found here http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/xsyQWZ (it's pretty funny). I've been researching non stop for a month and have made a build I can be proud of. It was an amazing feeling when I could first read stats that someone else has compiled and 100% understand them. All I want is comments on the build so far or suggestions on part improvements. I'll be playing games like ARMA III and Battlefield 4 on a hopeful ultra at 1080p. Last question but would this build be appropriate for overclocking, Thanks! http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/Bkjhcf

You can keep it like that it's a nice build for 1080p and you will be able to play Battlefield 4 on ultra settings @1080p

The GTX 970 is the sweetspot atm at 1080p and the 4690k is a great CPU for gaming and also has great OCing potential with that cooler.

8gb RAM is totally fine for 1080p gaming except for Total War. 😀

7200rpm Barracudas are nice i use them too for years without any problems and the Samsung SSD is as good as it gets.

750w may be a bit much at the moment but i think you maybe plan to SLI the 970 in the future? If thats the case 750w is perfect.

Have fun building nice research.

Are you asking me to buy this one?

It's a good PC for your needs and its pre built and comes with a 2 year warranty so it saves you building one yourself.

Why would I buy custom when I can build for about $200 cheaper

You can't though it's less than $150 and you get a two year warranty, if it messes up and considering this is your first time there's a good chance you might mess up and if you do its on you and there's no way to refund the products. Think of it as insurance.
