Damn, a flagship that looks like it might fit in an ITX case. Where is the radiator though?

I'm thinking about getting a gaming pc and this what I have come up with so far. Any suggestions?

that build
Wouldn't change anything component wise, I may just go with a different case. I prefer full for the air flow. Is the 980 Ti actually in stock??
Damn, I want to upgrade to a 980 Ti pretty bad.. may list my laptop and 680 and see what kind of offers I get.. I'm tired of turning down settings, even it's it's usually just shadows and AA..
Looks like a great build, tbh... can't believe SSDs have come down in price so much...
I'd spend the $20 extra on a Phanteks Entoo Pro. It's gotta be one of the best cases I have ever seen and is insane for $100, and if I was running an unlocked processor it's what I would get.I'm thinking about getting a gaming pc and this what I have come up with so far. Any suggestions?
A 980 Ti on 1080p just seems all kinds of wrong though. That card is really made for 1440p ultra or 4k high. My $330 970 pretty much plays pretty much everything at 60 fps locked with MSAA turned off and vsync on (since I use a 60 Hz panel). I would bite the bullet on a nice 1440p IPS panel like this if you're ok with 60 fps.

Also, do some research about the RAM and cooler compatibility. The Ripjaws X RAM is always on sale cheap because those huge heatsinks on top can sometimes interfere with big coolers. No clue if it's a problem with the Hyper 212 EVO though. That system is ing insane though. Great choice on the power supply, not all Antec units are good, but that one is outstanding since it's made by Seasonic.
But if you'd rather have the higher framerate than higher resolution, you should consider a GSync monitor. DJR210 raves about his.
Also, if you live near a Microcenter the 4790k sells for $280 there, and you can get $40 off in combo with some motherboards there too. San Antonio not having a Microcenter.
Are you looking at a reference 980 Ti (blower design) or aftermarket card? The reference cooler couldn't really handle the an X very well without being hot and loud from reviews I have seen, and the 980 Ti is basically a an X with half the vram. If you think you'll eventually go with a second 980 Ti in SLI then the reference cooler is what you want, but in single card you'll probably do better with an axial cooler card like an EVGA ACX, MSI Gaming, Gigabyte Gaming, etc. A decent case can handle the heat of a 250W card like the 980 Ti, but two in SLI would be a pain in the ass to cool without using blower cards.
This Windforce cooler looks like it'll be a monster, and should be a lot quieter than reference. The Gigabyte Gaming cards are usually binned to support pretty aggressive out the box overclocks too, though nowhere near as crazy as EVGA's top cards (the Classified and K|NGP|N, which are insanely expensive and not worth the money unless you're some got who cares about benchmarks).

4chins told me not to use a Seagate External HD, so I'll probably go with something else. I'll also take your recommendation of monitor into consideration, baseline bum. Thanks.
The VG24 has a G-Sync variant for only a little more too.. might as well if you're already spending 2 g's..But if you'd rather have the higher framerate than higher resolution, you should consider a GSync monitor. DJR210 raves about his.

Tbh, I would probably get a QNIX 1440p monitor for like 350-400 since you're getting a card that should have no problem running at 60 FPS at that res.
I think the 980 Ti is on sale in store only for like 450 at Microcenter.. ing bas sBut if you'd rather have the higher framerate than higher resolution, you should consider a GSync monitor. DJR210 raves about his.

No ing way. Stores can't keep that in stock at $650.
Read it on Gamefaqs, gotta be true
Someone was trolling your ass bro. If I could find 980 Ti for $450 I'd buy every ing one and sell them on craigslist for $700.
You could have two 980 Ti and you'd still be turning settings down.
why u gettin a seagate hdd? get a better brand or bigger hdd...
Okay, this is what I have settled on:
If this doesn't work out, I'll drink bleach. I paid for everything already.
since u bought the external 4tb, then whats the point of the internal 1tb wd u getting? couldv save money there
It should be good. The Ripjaws X memory is compatible with the NH-D14 according to this link:Okay, this is what I have settled on:

Since you went with a Z87 board and a Devil's Canyon processor, there is a chance you'll need to update the BIOS before it will POST. Most likely you won't because the BIOS version needed is from September 28 last year and anything shipped with that BIOS or newer will run the 4790k. Here is the BIOS version recommended:
https://www.asus.com/us/support/CPU/...0140529173757/
And a list of the BIOS versions needed for each CPU:
https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards.../HelpDesk_CPU/
With a lot of boards this would be a huge pain in the ass to do, since you'd have to buy a cheap original Haswell (e.g., not Haswell Refresh) Celeron to boot into Windows and flash the BIOS, but since you got an Asus board they provide a utility to flash the BIOS via a USB stick even when you don't have a working CPU.
http://www.asus.com/microsite/2014/M...compatibility/
Your motherboard is on the supported list for this tool, so you're good to go. Like I said though, odds are you won't need to do anything and your board will likely come with a new enough BIOS to run the 4790k. You definitely got a great price on that board.
That will be a ing monster of a system at 1440p.

ing Ubisoft. So Far Cry 4 has microstutter no matter what GPU you throw at it, Watch Dogs is a stuttering regardless of GPU, AC Unity is in epic fail territory... but I fired up Far Cry 3 a little earlier and it has the same ing microstutter Far Cry 4 does, but without the great lighting. How does this happen with a 2012 game on a 2014 GPU that's pulling 60 fps at like 30% usage (and 900MB vram) when I have vsync on? I play COD Advanced Warfare which looks great and my 970 is massive overkill for and it's super smooth with vsync to 60 fps. On the other hand I play GTA V where I have the settings so that my 970 can just skate by at 60 fps in the worst part (namely, driving fast through the forest near Mt Chiliad) and that's smoother than shaved stripper pussy too. But it's always a different story when I play a Ubisoft game. Has Ubisoft just always been the official sponsor of microstutter? I swear I don't see this in any other games, but anything Ubisoft has it. So is this microstutter in AC Black Flag and AC Rogue too?

I have Far Cry 3, and don't recall a micro stutter problem. It's one of my pet peeves so I would notice it for sure..
Turns out it was only at the very beginning.
Pretty awesome game so far, though I think the setting is cooler in Far Cry 4. If you liked 3, FC4 is pretty similar but with better graphics. But even 980 owners ed about the microstutter. But liberating towers, hunting animals, stealth kills with the knife and bow, very similar.
When I first played FC3, I thought I stumbled upon one of the better games of recent memory.. then the second half of the game started.
