As the title says, this will be my first time building my own PC. I'll only be using the PC for gaming and streaming, but before I get going with it, I'd like some advice, any suggestions, as well as any potential compatibility issues I might run into. Here's the build I have in mind:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790k
Cooler: CM Hyper Evo 212
Motherboard: Asus Z97-A ATX LGA 1150
RAM: G.Skills Ripjaws X 8GB (2x4) DDR3 1600 mhz
SSD: Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5"
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB SSC ACX 2.0+
Case: Corsair carbide 500r ATX mid-tower
PSU: EVGA Supernova G2 750w
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24F1ST DVD/CD Writer
Monitor: BenQ XL2420Z 144Hz 24.0"
Once it's all said it done, this build will cost me around $2000-$2200 CAD. Unfortunately canadians have it rough when it comes to building your own PC. I tried balancing quality parts while trying to be economical. Please let me know what you guys think!
