My first gaming rig!

Hardware Hub Build a PC
1

So as the title says, I'm about to build my very first real gaming rig by myself. I've planned this for a while and eventually got to these parts. My budget is around €1000-€1200...

PARTS:

  • Fractal Design Define R4 Black Pearl

  • MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition

  • Intel Core I5-4690K, 3.5 GHz

  • MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G

  • Cooler Master Hyper212 Evo

  • Kingston HyperX 16 GB DDR3-1866 Kit

  • Western Digital Blue 1 TB Hard drive

  • Samsung SH-224FB

  • Coller Master B600 600W

These are the parts, but I wonder if there's any part I should change and if I should consider buying a GTX 1070.

THX for the help!

If you have nothing already you might as well start with DDR4 / skylake and yes 1070

I left enough room in your budget for a 1070, or it's Polaris equivalent since they will be released soon. If you have any questions and/or concerns feel free to ask.

definitely don't get the 970!

so much is coming and the 1070 will destroy it, see my recent post

dont build yet!!!

wait wait a couple more weeks as people have said polaris is coming and so is the 1070 by waiting maybe just 2 weeks you could get more performance for the same money.
