Hello everybody
I am doing a new build, upgrading from a q6700 and 6770. Will be gaming at 1080p for now (Diablo3, Fallout 4, Street fighter 4/5, Steam games). I am set on the case and itx format. Any opinions would be great. Anything I should add or remove?

I am also open to an x99 chipset even though i wont ever need that much processing power.
 
Solution

So should I opt for the fury since im going with a 1440p monitor ?

I changed the GPU to a better one for similar price as well as change the CPU cooler for a very nice OC ability on the CPU and added fans to use with cooler for quieter performance

Im planning to watercool in the summer would an h100 still be a good investment? and why a 970 over 390x?

Yes h100 is great investment, however unless u want your case to sound like a turbine under load replace the fans that come with the h100

Also the 970 I personally believe 970 is better might just be me being bias tho it is your choice really
