Good Afternoon Folks,
I am embarking upon my first self build at the end of the month and wanted some opinions on the part list below. The main uses for the system will be gaming (strategy/RPGs) and photo processing in PS.
CPU Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core £260.34
CPU Cooler Corsair H110 94.0 CFM Liquid £91.31
Motherboard Asus MAXIMUS VII HERO ATX LGA1150 £165.50
Memory Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2133 £140.84
Storage Samsung 840 EVO 500GB 2.5" SSD £164.98
Video Card EVGA GeForce GTX 980 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0 £449.99
Case Corsair 750D ATX Full Tower £118.79
Power Supply EVGA 850W ATX12V / EPS12V £106.99
Operating System Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit) £74.20
The main areas I would like some advice on are:
- Motherboard
- Memory
- Case (also like the Corsair 780T in white).
- Cooler (really not sure on this although I like the look of the Enermax Liqtech 240 cooler as well).
Finally any advice you guys could provide on a monitor would be awesome, is going the G-Sync route worth it? To help with this I will say that I tend to play strategy and RPG titles (Total War series, Dragon Age, The Witcher etc.).
Thanks in advance for your patience and support.
