Hi,
Im going to build my first pc, but I want your advice.
Will these components work together and is it recommended?
GPU:
Gigabyte Geforce GTX 970 Windforce
CPU:
Intel i7 4790k
Motherboard:
Asrock z87 Extreme 6 or Extreme 4
Cooling:
Cooler master Hyper 212 Evo
Power Supply:
Corsair 600W
Storage:
Probably a 256 GB SSD
Memory
Corsair Vengeance (2x4GB)
And another question, do i need anything else? Like thermal paste or an anti static wrist band
Thanks
Easiest way to check compatibility: www.pcpartpicker.com Also breaks down price for you, benchmarks, etc. You will most likely need thermal paste for your cooling unit, if it doesn't come with it. I would just get it, it's like $5. In some cases it's pre-applied and not always the best, so look up how to apply thermal paste and apply yourself if you like. Anti-Static wrist band, most people will tell you that they have never had a problem without it. I never have. Again, they're not that expensive so if you're concerned about it...get one for the piece of mind.
What are you going to be using this PC for, also what is your budget?
Hi,
Sorry for not specifying, but I am going to use this computer for gaming.
Thanks for your helpful comment.
1. I'll stick with a Z97 thanks for the tip.
2. I think I will choose the i7 so that I don't have to update my Cpu later.
3. What speed of RAM is recommended?
4. Probably going to get a Corsair Psus 600 W then.
5. Thanks I will add another hard drive later but for now a cheap SSD will do, so the Crucial mx100 it is.
Thank you very much for the help!
Okay I updated my build:

I'm going to add another hard drive later.
I couldn't find the motherboard on pcpartpicker, so here it is:

Couldn't find the monitor either:

I want to go for a cheap good gaming monitor, I can always buy a better one later.
And finally, do you guys know a good, cheap case? Preferably with a window.
That's all, If you guys have any tips on saving money or better parts I would appreciate it.
Thank you
