Is this system good?

[intelfanb0y]

Hi im making a gaming rig i overclock but not much, mostly i do gaming.
Is this build good?
And yes i know its overkill but i want to last a long time.

Here is my build http://pcpartpicker.com/user/windowsfan/saved/ywP8TW

If you're spending nearly 4 grand on a state of the art PC, doesn't it seem likely it would be good?

PSU is low quality. replace with antec, XFX, Seasonic.

Get an i7 4790k, not the one you have. There is no real difference in gaming performance and you are wasting $750 for nothing. You selected a workstation CPU.

if i get 4790k i cant use x99

Yeah, you have no need for x99 for a gaming computer, at all. TOTAL waste of money.

It is not meant for gaming. It is meant for workstation PCs.

The performance would bw like $1000 rig ! A lot of useless things . Save your money , the performance would be not much more than a $1000 rig . 16GB are 16GB ! 1866MHz is the optimal case . i am not a fan of SLI and Crossfire but some would SLI GTX 970 .

How about this? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/pk2y8d

Jeepers, when I saw someone mention the 4 grand figure, I assumed there would triple sli 980s. Only one seems like incredibly poor allocation of cash.

Motherboard is WAY overkill. You'll get the same performance out of a $160 board. You said you aren't overclocking that much anyway.

This build is starting to look better though.

Change the PSU as I said in my first post and it will be a solid gaming machine.

it s getting better and better

Isn't corsair very good?

 

[tiny voices]

SOME of Corsair PSUs are good, other are low quality junk. The RM750 and RM850 are barely average quality units.

Get an XFX750.

the following mobo is enough

[intelfanb0y]

ill look for that psu
Can you list some mobos with wireless integrated?

 

[tiny voices]

I would buy a wireless card, NOT get a board with it. You can upgrade a wireless card, but you cannot upgrade one physically part of a motherboard when it gets old.

OK ill post build and give me your opinion

No, just no. Even 2 980s is stupid for that monitor.

OP, keep going with the build you are looking at. This is really not ideal for your situation or even a good use of money at all.

Go for it!

jerryvaberry i liked your build but 1 monitor 3 cards?

To be honest, I was just going off your build and didnt realize you (also I) had a monitor selected.

This one should make a little more sense. I am just going by the budget from the original proposal, so it is still over the top.

I have the z77 (1 generation older) version of this board and LOVE it. Great for overclocking nd VERY good quality.

You do not need than many fans. More fans DOES NOT mean a cooler computer. You need proper flow of air, not air blowing every which way.
