Build advice
Hi all,
I could use some build advice. The long and short: I’m looking for recommendations on a mobo, case, and cooling options.
The rig does not need to be mobile. A small form factor is desirable, but not necessary if a larger form factor makes cooling/maintenance easier/less expensive. Quiet is better than loud. Function trumps style, but it’s nice when things look nice. I do plan on overclocking, and will probably wind up somewhere around 4.4.
In terms of motherboard performance, I am looking for something on the order of the ASrock Z97 extreme 4.
Build at present:
CPU:
i5-4690K http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i54690k
GPU:
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 (or comparable) http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvn970g1gaming4gd
Memory:
G.Skill sniper 2133 (8GB) http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f317000cl9d8gbsr
Storage:
Seagate barracuda 1TB HDD http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seagate-internal-hard-drive-st1000dm003
Crucial 256GB SSD http://pcpartpicker.com/part/crucial-internal-hard-drive-ct256mx100ssd1
PSU:
SeaSonic M12II 620 [?] http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-m12ii620bronze
Anyways, once I start building imaginary computers my imagination sort of runs away with me. I’d appreciate any advice and suggestions, including voices of reason if I’ve gone horribly awry somewhere.
