PC Build opinion

[preminger1]

I want your opinion of this pc build, if something can be improved but not to increase its price by much. And how good is this mobo for OC, and PSU opinion. And what do you think about case?
This is what i got in compatibility notes:

The Cooler Master Storm Enforcer ATX Mid Tower Case supports video cards up to 390mm long, but video cards over 270mm may block drive bays. Since the Asus GeForce GTX 980 4GB STRIX Video Card is 289mm long, some drive bays may not be usable.

I would up the SSD to the 250GB and might consider buying a bit better quality motherboard but everything you have listed should work.

amazing system.... but won't considering a better powersupplie for SLI? i kow that sound's stupid now but believe me.... i had also 650 watt PSU and now im stuck with only one GPU.... it's only cost you a bit more and it is gonna be worth it...

The CX power supply is garbage and you can't run SLI with that motherboard...

 

[Tradesman1]

Would change the mobo, especially if you are thinking OCing, but also just in general, NewEgg shows about a 20% DOA rate with this mobo (and includes multiple DOAs to a few people), plus it's MSI (not of afan due to their poor QC), I'd sink some more money into the mobo and go with Asus, the Rock or GB.

 

[TonyRoma]

Cooler Master Storm Enforcer is a bit of a relic these days. I'd look at Fractal Design Arc Midi V2 or something else in their range to suit your style.

What mobo should i get? What is your opinion on z97 krait edition or Asrock z97 anniversary ? And is this PSU going to have enough power ?

 

[TonyRoma]

Just as a side note.... XFX PSU's are made by Seasonic and have great prices. Might be worth looking up to see if they're available.

 

[Tradesman1]

The EVGA is fine for a PSU, for a mobo and Z97 I'd look for better, the lower end mobos WILL OC but I'd be leery of the lower end, the Rock's Pro 4 is about the lowest I'd go

[TonyRoma]

I'm not doubting EVGA is fine for a PSU, but XFX tend to be cheaper. Not sure modular is really needed too, as most of the cables will be in use on this potential system. The money saved can be spent on better something else, like that motherboard for example. I'm not advising on one way or another, just opening the OP's eyes to some alternatives.

 

[Tradesman1]

There's always alternatives, modular does help with cable management (and can a lot) 😉 Big thing is to get a GOOD PSU, staying away from those like the CX from Corsair

 

[TonyRoma]

If he got a Fractal Design case instead of that Cooler Master Enforcer then there'd be tons of space on the back to hide any cabling with ease. Has anyone asked what resolution the OP with be using for gaming? If he's only using 1080P then that GTX980 will be overkill too. Sorry, just playing devils advocate lol.

 

[Zerk2012]

Case comes down a lot to the looks YOU like your the one going to be looking at it every day.

Well, i was thinking about Fractal Design R4, and i chose gtx 980 for more future proofing.

tbh, i like more the inside of the pc, not the case. I want some case with nice airflow that wont be that expensive, around 60 dolars... Now the pure looks of it dont matter that much for me

Thank you all for posting, and helping me out. This is my modified build. As you can see, i went for new case, and other PSU. I have removed HDD cuz' i already have it xD . I got new mobo, for a bit more overclocking...

 

[TonyRoma]

Awesome! Take your time building it, enjoy it.
