First Build GamingPC

[hhomer01]

So i took the advice from some people in this community, Reddit, TechGuru and EliteGamingComputers and this is what i came up with. All feedback is greatly appreciated. First build, want it to go smoothly. This is the most I want to spend on a computer. Monitor is included in the build. If you think that the money should be redistributed, all build recommendations are appreciated.

If im on a budget I don't think i need the 4690k...overclocking won't be a regular thing.

Tiny bit over budget, but quite a beast system.

I would just check with one or two people and ask for their opinions, it was a rushed mix and match...

Wow that does look pretty beast. two questions though. I can't really afford a 2080 resolution monitor AND a solid computer for under 1500. So do i really need the i5 k card?

You could get a GTX 980 card instead of the 980 ti, because the 980 ti is a little overkill for just 1080p. A hybrid 980 would clock quite well and you could get a lot of performance out of it.
