Hello this is my first time building a PC and my budget is pretty big. I'm wondering if there's anyway to improve my build, such as adding more fans or getting a different cpu, or cpu cooler, ect. Also could someone recommend a good monitor? I'd like to play 4k but I understand that better monitors will be coming out soon so any other options?

Here's my build, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/sTcfjX

I would go for something like this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/hG7WCJ
( Assuming You dont have a budget )

The problem with 4k gaming is that you need a good frame buffer the 4GB on the 980 for example may be a limiting factor. You may want to swap these 980`s for r9 290x vapor-x 8GB variant

I replace the cooler to a 212 evo. You may think its weak but it is very powerfull for the price and also silent. On my fx8350 it takes away about 27 C versus the stock cooler.


Oh okay, a friend told me to get one but then again I don't know much about building computers. Thank you.
 
Now what monitor are you going to use? If you only want 1080p you could remove 1 of the graphics cards. Also are you gong to overclock the processor? If you arent going to overclock it you dont need an expensive cooler and you could change your cpu to a non "K" series one.
 


I'll be trying to overclock the cpu and for the monitor I was leaning towards 4k monitors or 1440p monitors.
 


What should I change in order to get 60fps on 4k?
