review my pc build please

[JesseC123]

Hey guys can you tell me what you think of this build.
Any tips and advice would be great as well:
CPU:Intel Core i5 4690K
Motherboard:ASUS Z97M-PLUS Motherboard
Graphics card:EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked ACX 2.0 4GB
Memory:Kingston Hyper X Fury HX318C10FBK2/8 8GB (2x4GB) Black
Storage:Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM001
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD
PSU:Be Quiet! Pure Power L8 600W Power Supply
Case:Cougar 5G01 Pioneer Mid Tower Case

I want to try keep this around $1500-1700 AUD as well ?


( I don't plan on overclocking this pc which is why im not interested in a cpu cooler)

id go for a bigger psu say 650w - 750w

 

[amd4lif3]

[JesseC123]

Can you reccommend me a psu?
I only want to spend around 100-110 on it if that is possible
Yeah i haven't found much on it but i really like the look of it
I will try thank you
if you have any recommendations please send them through

pounds dollers what

- get a better CPU cooler, like CoolerMaster Hyper EVO 212
- instead of Seagate, get Western Digital
- instead of Kingston SSD, get Samsung 840 EVO
- PSU is of enough power, but mediocre quality: get XFX or Seasonic 650W, or Corsair RM650
- change case, this one is quite average. Check Corsair, Coolermaster, Fractal Design and Antec, just to name a few.

Australian dollars @amd4lif3 sorry

changed to american website

 

[amd4lif3]

by the way the 650w and 750w has pretty much no price difference

Also, if possible, I would upgrade that RAM to 16 GB (2 x 8 GB sticks), as we are already at the 8 GB standard. It will give you some elbow room and allow you to cap out the board at 32 GB without replacing your current kit. Again, it's not entirely necessary, but just a suggestion, if it is in your budget. Other than that and the things people mentioned above, I'd say it looks fairly solid.

atm 8gb ram is enough for gaming

will this WD HDD be good enough? http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=210_344&products_id=22582

xfx arent on pc case gear site which is where i am buying all my parts so i cant get that, the other 2 are a bit to pricey compared to this psu

 

[amd4lif3]

[JesseC123]

[amd4lif3]

just buy the psu off amazon and not off pc case gear site because from what i see that site sells psu's too expensive

At the moment, yes, but if you remember not too long ago, 8 GB was considered overkill. Now it's pretty much standard and will only move forward from there. I was just trying to give him some head room. 😛

No problem, bud. Just trying to help. I'm currently building one myself. It's been about 10 years since my last new build, so it's been a long time coming. The best of luck on yours.
