The African build needs a guide for the future

Hardware Hub Build a PC
1

Budget : Around 1400 USD  

Location : Zimbabwe, so yea we use USD but any store i use will be from South Africa JHB (Rand)  



i can pick from these 3 Retailers in order of preference 1 http://www.rebeltech.co.za 2 zapsonline.com 3 evetech.co.za 



 No extra peripherals needed. ...(yet) (my profile has my current setup)



Lots of gaming , i do mod Skyrim to oblivion (haha) i play Anno 2070 and Civ 5 and as many other games as i can . I am hoping to play in the future Witcher 3 



i do use Google sketchup for some light hobby associated work. and i have plenty of tabs and programs open at any given time 
 i hope to at least slightly OC the rig
i do host some local LAN events , i'd like to be able to reliably host some sort of servers and game at the same time with my friends.



I Do need a new case as it has been a real menace and battle to handle. 
i wanted to get the NZXT switch 810 but they are completely unavailable , i have opted for the NZXT h440 in blue instead ( i saw that the mobo was blue so that pretty much decided color)




Defiantly don't need a hard-drive but an ssd would be glorious 



A side note, the PC will live about a meter from my bed, i live with it humming but i'd be happy if i could go near silent 




i have been lurking around and compiled my own idea. but i'd be really grateful for any suggestions.



hope this is the best format ( partpicker isnt useful cuz of the price difference :/ )


here we go!

120GB is a bit small for a computer.  You stated that you don't need a hard drive, but unless you already have one that you don't have to buy, I would suggest picking one up.

Get the i5-4690K, especially if you want to overclock.  Any Non-K part will have a locked multiplier.

Consider the Noctua NH-D14.  It performs similarly to the H100i, but is much, much quieter.  If you don't like the color, I believe Phanteks makes one very similar in terms of performance and sound.

HAha , yea i actually have 4 terrabyte drives. was just thinking of a fast OS drive that sits separately.

K for overclocking . added ! thanks that would have been a wonderful blunder

Defiantly will consider the noctua esp for the slightly lesser price for performance, i have honestly been ignoring air coolers .

color wont bother me , i always end up modding something or adding color somehow.
