High End Intel Pc

[RyleeCurrie6]

So I'm looking to build a new computer I'd just like to know if everything I have is compatible and works well together, thanks! Also, What Os is better in terms of performance, windows 7 or 8?

Case: NZXT Phantom Enthusiast Full Tower Red
Cpu: I7 4790k
Cpu Cooling: Corsair Hydro Series CW-9060009-WW H100i
Mobo: ASUS SABERTOOTH Z97 MARK1 ATX
Gpu: 2x Gtx 970 (I'm thinking the MSI version as the red matches the case, Or the strix)
Ram: Kingston Hyperx fury red, 1600mhz
Psu: Corsair CS Series CS850M - 850 Watt Modular
Ssd: SanDisk Ultra II 120GB Solid State Drive
Hdd: Seagate Barracuda 1TB Hard Drive - 7200RPM,

This won't really make much of a difference but I would get a 250gb SSD over a 120. A 120 fills up really really fast.
And for Windows 7 vs Windows 8 it's pretty much up to personal preference. Windows 7 is Windows 8 in desktop mode. If you don't like how Windows 8 functions then go for Windows 7. There used to be a problem with Windows 8 and gaming but now it's all fixed so there is no performance difference.

Alright, Thanks! I was also thinking of making the ssd bigger.

Also how much RAM do you have? Because it doesn't give a number

16 gb, also I decided to go with the maximus 7 hero mobo instead. I bought the cpu today because it was on sale.

Do you have a large steam library or a large amount of media? If you do then I would get a 2tb HDD. It's only $30 more and that's the perfect size for a lot of media.
