Check my Computer Build

[The Lawyer]

Hi guys,

you might know that I've been looking to build a computer for a long time.

After quite a bit of research, I think I'm going to head to that (the above) build.

(Don't worry about peripherals or operating system, I already have that covered.)

I believe the system is very good as it is at the moment; and should be able to run almost any AAA game at ultra with the 970 in combination with 5820k. I'm focused on video editing, effects, and of course gaming. The combo should be able to edit any 1080p footage spectacularly, and should only get really slow during huge layering (at which point overclocking could cover that). The best part about the build is that it's upgrade-able. The case will allow for more hard drives in Raid 5, and the motherboard will support a future 5960x for insane video (not sure I would ever need that, 5820k should be fine), and a GTX 980 ti in the future to supply 4k (and maybe 4k video editing in the future).

The cooler should be good for any overclocking.

It's tipping over my budget, so I'm really banking on this as a good deal.  Do you guys have any opinions that you would like to point out? Any tips or things to keep in mind?

Also; I'm looking for a 4k monitor that's about 27-35 inches wide, and at least 60hz. I know the GTX 970 will not run games very well on 4K, but I'm going to be using the monitor for streaming video and using it's 4k space for having more windows open. Price range is about $400-$700.

Thanks!

You better get a side window to go with that H630.


NZXT Sells them separately.

Thanks! I added the side window as a custom part.

I've updated op with a part, as well as a hard drive for storing video and games.

Now that I probably have a side panel, I might add in some strip LEDs just for the fun to look at.

Consider waiting a bit to see what nvidia's new cards are, GTX 1080, 1080 Ti & Titan.

Is there any news on their new cards? I feel like they would be making more higher end cards like the 980 ti which would probably be over my budget. If there's any websites hinting they may be creating more powerful cards at the same price of a 970 I might consider holding back.

GTX 1080, 1080 Ti & Titan.

Done a tiny bit of research and all the cards seem to be a lot more powerful than the already titan and 980 series. Way out of my price range. However, I could look into the 980 ti once the new cards come out for a hopeful drop in price.

Nah I think your golden for now, you can always upgrade later near the end of the year anyways.


Also if your willing to spend a little bit more for some great aesthetics I would recommend the NZXT Hue+

I've decided to drop the side panel for the case and not get an LED Strips. The computer is going to be under my desk, I won't see it lol. Side panel also makes the case louder.

Overall the build looks pretty good. I don't see any problems with it.
