Hello everyone figured id run this build by everyone let me know what you think
This build is for high end gaming and future proofing

Compiled it all in a simple link

Other thoughts: I May Change out the MSI Mother Board for the ASUS Maximus VII Hero

See any issues bottle neck problems or did i pick any sketchy/bad quality parts or company's let me know please

Edit: End Result would be one more GTX 970
 
Ya OS is handled seemed irrelevant to add as most use Windows 7 which ill be using so.. lol was more of looking at hardware issues i could potentially run into
 
sometimes that gets forgotten so was just trying to help but I see no issues there are ways you could cut costs but I think for future upgrade paths I would go with your build and grab a 120gb ssd for the os if you can swing it
 
I haven't had any issues with msi parts I use their boards a lot but I have built a lot of amd based stuff as of late, but that mobo was top of my list for the next gaming rig I'm putting together so I wouldn't worry from what I've read it seems to be doing well
 
Ya its this or the ASUS one i listed above this will be my first intel build so Just want to make sure im solid instead of going back and forth from the store
In the future ill probably add another 970 and a ssd
 
Sounds like a good plan and the asus mobos are my personal preference for no reason other than thats what i started on but msi is a solid choice also the big question is what mobo has the features you want and that will work with your up grade path or in my case I tend to base my decisions on cooling options for the board as I run custom loops in my personal builds and like to be able to do full water cooled builds ( more for show than anything )
 
I Just got into water cooling cpu so i use a AIO H105 actually probably should look up what ports are available on that thing.. i maybe should have posted the end result build lol too.... didnt think of that

However in the end i intend to have that current setup one 500 gig SSD one 5 Terabyte Standard Hard drive 2 GTX 970s Probakly 8 more gigs of ram
and thats about it
 
id be cautious with the 5tb drive as they dont work well with windows sometimes over 3tb also mixing ram kits is also a not a great idea so if you do want more sell yours and get a matched kit even the same model number ram will sometimes have different controllers and cause trouble
 
@Bossyfins what am i using it for High end gaming Streaming - Mild Video Editing Music editing the 5tb drive will hold my hyperspin collection and backup movie collection

Your better off with this.

The case you have is expensive. the HDD has a HUGE failure rate., 2 x 2tb reds in raid should do the trick. Also, a better PSU, and you can save some mone
 
Perhaps i should have mentioned all this is being bought from Micro center 4 miles from my house and i already have the power supply and optical drive? i merely setup the build in the link so people wouldnt question power supply... lol i also already own the 780t lol this was merely a hardware question as is not a hey help me make it cheaper lol i mean dont get me wrong i appreciate it but i was just asking look at cpu mobo ram video card with said power supply see any issue lol

Edit: i Actually did mention it i asked for any performance/bottleneck issues or complaints of said companys only not pricing or anything
although i do appreciate the feedback on the hard drive cause i had that planned for later
