This is not a very balanced build. You are better off going an i5 4690k or even an i7 4790k and getting a better GPU like a 980 Ti, more RAM, a bigger HDD and a boot SSD; The extra performance a 5820K offers will not be beneficial at all in games over an i5 4690k. The case is very low end, it is better to get a more expensive one for such a high-end build.

I'll put together a build from your local parts stores that will suit your needs, if you can answer the following questions:

1. What is your overall budget (In both US Dollars and your local currency.)?

2. Does your budget include extra software (Like windows and MS Office.) and / or peripherals (Monitors, keyboards, mouse, speakers, etc.)?

3. What is the resolution of the monitor(s) you use, and how many monitors are there?

4. What are the games you play most frequently / are thinking of playing?

5. Do you currently use / intend to use any 3D modelling / simulation / video editing software?

6. What is the country you will be buying the parts / system from?

7. Are you comfortable with custom building your own PC, or would rather buy a pre-built one?

8. What are the specs. of your current PC (Optional.)?
 


what do u mean by unbalanced ?
i already bought the stuff i mentioned above and i cant return them now :)

1. total budget in US Dollars after i bought the mentioned parts is approximately 500$
i should still buy the cpu fan , psu , mother board ,rams and operating system , and also pay for shipping to my country (Bahrain)

2. no my budget excludes mouse and keyboard , i will figure out that later after i buy everything.

3 . i usually play on my hd lcd screen 38 or 37 inch 😛 i think 1728xsomething

4. gta v , witcher 3 , ark , h1z1 , garry mod , cod , roblox etc

5. right now NO , just building a pc for gaming right now .

6. i live in bahrain i bought the graphic card from my country and i bought the case and the processor from Saudi arabia and i am planning to buy the rest of the stuff from amazon and newegg . I am planning to buy cooler master hyper 212x cpu fan from my country

7. i dont know what u mean by comfortable but i really get so stressed when I get to choose between things like the mother board and ram and the cpu fan . In my country the pre built is expensive and i am buying the parts one by one as i get some cash in my hand so i couldnt afford a pre duilt pc earlier.

8. I am using my brother dell laptop cause i sold my pc to get some cash . It was Dell optilex 9010 , it had 8 gb , zotac gt 610 , intel i5 3rd generation , dell factory mother board
 


By unbalanced I mean that you would get significantly better performance in games by going with a cheaper CPU and a more expensive GPU, and a few other components as well. Since you have already purchased the parts, though, this won't be possible. I'll be using ADVANTI for prices, since I used them before for another build for a fellow forum member, and they seem to have good prices.

Motherboard: http://www.advantionline.com/ASUS-X99-A-USB-3.1-LGA-2011-v3-Intel-X99-SATA-6Gb-s-USB-3.1-USB-3.0-ATX-Intel-Motherboard.html BD 135

CPU Cooler: http://www.advantionline.com/Cooler-Master-Nepton-240M-CPU-Water-Cooling-System-All-In-One-Kit-with-240mm-Radiator.html BD 55

Total: BD 190

A bit over, but this will be the best combination for your PC.
 


i contacted advanti and they said that they have " cooler master hyper 212x cpu fan "
can i go with that ? Atleast i can afford that its for 19 BD

and also i have a big question mark , Can the x99-a mother board and the msi gtx 970 graphic card fit inside the case i bought ? Its the " Nzxt source 210 window" Case
 


Yes, the 212X will work with the 5820K, just be sure to use the proper screws for your socket that come with it when installing. Also, I'd replace the stock fan with 2 Corsair AF120s on either side in push-pull configuration for increased cooling performance.

And yes, the motherboard and GPU will fit in your case, but you may have to remove the removable HDD cage for the GPU to fit.
 


ok now i am done with the motherboard and the cpu fan
what about the ram
can u check this list and gimme the best ram i can get and my budget for the ram is 65$
