New to building computers!

[Coastertycoon2]

Hello! I was just wondering if this is a good build for the gaming computer I intend to make. I am relatively new to building your own PC, and I would like to make sure these are all compatable.

-Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior

-ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

-(2 of these) ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5 G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

-Rosewill BRONZE Series RBR1000-M 1000W Continuous@40°C, 80Plus Bronze Certified,Modular Cable Design,ATX12V v2.3/ EPS12V,SLI Ready,CrossFire Ready,Active PFC"Compatible with Core i7, i5" Power Supply

-Intel Core i7-4790 Haswell Quad-Core 3.6GHz LGA 1150 84W Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4600 BX80646I74790

-(this is just my boot drive)SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD128BW 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

-CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory Model CMZ16GX3M2A1600C9

-(main hard drive)Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive - OEM

Thank you for advice!

I would not go for SLI, as you can get a GTX 970 for cheaper than two 760s and get better performance. I would also change the PSU to something like a SeaSonic, like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151138&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID= . It is much more reliable and you don't need 1000w. Everything else looks good, though.

Yes all of these parts are compatible with one another. And that is quite the rig you are proposing. Very impressive once built. Since you said you are new to PC builds. There are things youll want: CPU cooler (air or liquid), WiFi card and sound card if the on-board sound isn't adequate or if you want wireless capability, fans, optical drives, etc

I would have to agree on the single 970 over a SLI setup. single GPU's are always more stable then SLI or Crossfire connections. And if you are going to go for a single GPU that 1000w PSU is alot for that setup you could get a 850w and save a bit of money there too then.

http://pcpartpicker.com/ is amazing. It helps you put together a nice list and find the best prices.

Are you only using this for a gaming build? I ask because of the i7 you picked out. If you're not going to be doing any heavy multi threaded applications you'd be better off going in to a top end i5. Most (but admittedly not all) games are single threaded and can actually take a hit on performance with and i7 over an i5.

what brand of GTX 970 would you suggest i get? and is that specific seasonic PSU good for my build?

 

[ewok93]

Asus is good and usually pretty cheap. Yes that specific one is good.

yes all compatible. I'd get more then 8GB ram tho, 12GB at least. I run alot of stuff at once, at any given point im using 6-8GB of ram and that's not gaming.

 

[Coastertycoon2]

Will the motherboard I've selected be able to connect to 3 4gb ram cards to make 12gb?

yes, no problems there. id get all identical sticks. you want the freq and timing to be the same.
