Do you have any suggestions on the parts or is everything good ? Im planning on getting this in 1-2 months
This is the build i'm thinking ~ no Gpu because i'm planning on getting one in 1-2 years with a 4k monitor.
I wanna build an all around good PC and gaming abit on my old GPU(6850HD) until i get a new one as i sayd before or its worth to get a new GPU and cut out something else ?.
If possible i want to lower the price without compromise the quality of the components , i plan to have this for a long time.

Cpu : INTEL CORE I5-4590
Mobo : ASUS MAXIMUS VII RANGER
PSU : EVGA SUPERNOVA 750 G2
Case : PHANTEKS ENTHOO LUXE
RAM : G.skill sniper 2x4GB 1866Mhz 9cl

Your existing gpu is fine,.

At this moment in time i cannot recommend any Geforce 970/980 series products as many users here are already having to rma them for being defective.

Themis can. Scythe Ashura Can. There are several cpu cooler reviews here that you can look up and see for yourself. You can Ask fullinfusion or cadaveca

Hi there.

This is a pretty solid build, but I think the PSU is kind of an overkill with the HD6850 video card and if you're not going to overclock. Some 600W power supply would be plenty.
The other parts look awesome (the case is a beauty...!) and are compatible in my opinion. :)

Cheers!

Cut down to a 650W Gold PSU. 650W can still handle SLI/Crossfire, and will save you a few notes for something else in future.
Also, in the event you are actually buying a Non-K CPU (the 4590 is non K and therefore not overclockable), a Z series motherboard is relatively useless unless you intend to upgrade to a K series chip. Knock down to a H97 and save even more money. You can get good H series MoBo's for less and keep the same features.

+1 and change brand. there are far better then evga psus at similar price.
1866 ram is pointless too with intel cpu .
what is your ~ budget and where you will buy from
do you think 256Gb will be enough for all software you need.

I'm buying from Greece ~ budget is around 1000-1300
For the power supply i know i dont need 750w its just that evga one is really good and fairly cheap.. ~ Looked at seasonic's g550 at about 20euro less , xfx xtr 550w about 25-30 euro less .. i want a good psu that will take me 5+ years or so , if you think those are good einaf or something else then suggest it please :)
Also for the motherboard i was aiming for h97 at the beggining but i didnt find one that seemed to be a quality product + the price difference is not that much to be worth it i think .. i dont know if i missed some1 though (maybe the asus h97-pro gamer ,asus h97-pro or the Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3? )

according to pcpartpicker system w/o vga is <180W and pcpartpicker's power consumptions are exaggerated
this leaves 450w for vga. the only thing that need more is 295.
who need 295 when you can have 980 sli for about 100$ more (if 295 price settle at 1k$)
750w xfx core is 13euro more. better spend that money for cpu cooler which i forgot to include in the shopping cart.
