Hi, everyone. Is this plan good for my first build? Does it lack anything or is there any part that is not compatible? Sorry, I've never built before, so I dont have a clue. Thank you in advance.

Ps. Sorry, you have to click on that link above to see my build. Sorry, I don't know how to post picture here. Anyone willing to help? D:

Why are you getting the liquid cooler, high performance thermal compound and Z97 board if your getting a locked CPU?

Oh, I never know that before! What is a locked CPU? Is the K series unlocked CPU? Thanks.

are you gaming or video editing as well? because if you're just gaming then you can get away with just an I5

though if you're editing just change the build to an I7 4790k. I had a quick run through of the build, saved money where I could and replaced for better parts.

Yes, the K means it's an unlocked multiplier CPU.

Those are easy to OC. With a locked multiplier CPU you can only OC by modifying the base clock (which affects the whole system), but with an unlocked you only need to modify the clock multiplier to achieve an OC (and only affects the CPU) and beyond that you can also modify the base clock, but leave that to the Profs (not me).

You're more prof than I am. Thanks for the information.
