i7 4790k GTX 970 build

[TheIcedCanadian]

Hi,
I need help finalizing the parts in my new computer build.
It is going to be a black/white build for gaming and a s*** ton of multi tasking (I like multitasking 😀),
so 4790k is sort of a must 😛
Budget is $2000

This is what I have so far. Still need help on case.

Doing a lot of muti tasking don't justify the i7 unless your using specific programs that take advantage of the hyper threading I would be looking at the i5 and 16GB of memory for that.
The memory you picked is fairly low quality 10 timings http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f31600c9d8gao
Higher quality power supply and modular is not really needed with any decent case. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650gts3x
Better water cooler. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-cpu-cooler-h100i
One of the best PC cases made. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-cc9011049ww
After you load the OS and drivers on that SSD you need to run this to update the firmware that drive had slow down issues.
Samsung SSD 840 EVO Performance Restoration Software from here.

Your also going to need more storage. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/western-digital-internal-hard-drive-wd10ezex

That CPU cooler is much quieter than the H100i and performs better
I picked that RAM to be white - needs to be white.
Modular is important to me (for sleeving) and I like high quality stuffs 😀
Will consider that PC case.
Might get 850 Pro just for POWER AND SPEED.
250GB is enough for me. Will add more SSDs when I have more money. HDD are loud and I don't like them - also after living on PCI-e laptop SSDs for a long time now, I can't go back. I get 700MB/s Write 700MB/s Read on my current laptop.

you said you are going for a black and white theme. the nzxt h440 is the perfect case for that.
get a low performance hdd if you dont like the noise. use it for anything you dont use often - like media and some games you dont play alot.

You need more than 620W for a GTX 970 because it needs an 8-pin auxillary power input. I think 620W comes with only 1 8-pin cable, when you need 2 (another 8 pin for your mobo)
