Is this a good build?

[Sid2125]

I want to build a decent gaming pc and I think I picked out good parts and I am pretty sure they all work together. But this is my first build and I was hoping to get a few opinions on it before I start buying. Here is the link to the PC part picker that all the parts are on. Let me know if I am missing anything or if the parts are bad.

Thank you for any help provided.

I would really want an SSD for that level of components.

Better cooler and cheaper , rest looks good.

Best budget cooler on the market.

Unmatched Compatibility
Zero RAM Interference

Focusing on providing the widest range of
compatibility, the H7 utilizes an asymmetric slanted
heatpipe layout to move the heatsink away from the
RAM zone, Offering optimal compatibility for RAM
with tall heat spreaders on both Intel 115X and
AMD platforms.

I'd drop to a 4690k, 8gb RAM and go for a 980 or if possible 980Ti. Both would out perform your build

i7s are a waste for gaming.
This is a newer platform, and you have enough power to SLI in the future if you wanted too. (I assume that's why you had a 750 PSU in the first place)

Can you please explain some of your choices, I am new to this and need more information. Whats better about an i5 then an i7? Whats the difference between the cpu coolers as well as the motherborads? And why would I need an SSD? Thank you.

Games won't take advantage of the 8 hyperthreaded cores of the i7. So the i5 is better because it's not a waste of money. Otherwise they're the same.
Motherboards are actually the same more or less, just a new chipset, for the new CPU.
This CPU cooler is cheaper and performs the same as the thermaltake.
SSD is for faster Windows performance and better game loading time in the few games you can fit on it.
