Hi all!
Im new to this pc world.
I want to put together a good gamingi rig.
Plz comment on this setup...
CPU: i5 4690K
Mobo: Msi Z97 gaming 5 ATX 1150
GPU:Msi gtx 970 4gb twin frozer V
RAM:Kingston DDR3 4GB 1866MHz CL10 DIMM HyperX Fury (two of this)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200rpm 64MB SATA 6Gb/s
and last SSD Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB SATA 6Gbit/s for windows
FAN for Cpu : somekind of coolmaster...will find soon
For power supply need to calculate all those things.....becasue will overclock.
Allready have 144hz Benq screen :)

Will all this work good ?

 
Solution
you need to get the hyper fury that has intel XMP support. the only time i ever seen 1866mhz on RAM is if it is amd ram like the Fury red.
you should get at least 2133 ram or 2400.those will also be XMP/intel captailible and will give you that extra boost and you might want it for overclocking.

if your overclocking spring for a noctua cooler, unless you want to get a h100i which would be the only other thing that would be better than a noctua. d12 or d14 if it fits.

i perfer seagat power suplies but yeah some thing around 650-750 will work fine.
For the power supply, I would go with a 650W EVGA Supernova B2. You could go with a 550W XFX TS also. I would not go under 550W since you plan to overclock. Other than that, I like the build. I personally recommend you buy a WD Blue 1TB hard drive instead of the Seagate Barricude, because WD is better known for reliability (I can personally vouge for that with my noise Seagate and better WD).
