My new PC Build... Could use some tips!

[Thryn]

You won't need more than 16GB of ram (in the near future)

Home Premium is 16gb

Just ordered all the parts off newegg.

Case: NZXT H440 Black/Red Midsize ATX (Not the best in terms of airflow/performance... or price... but I love the aesthetics so much i was willing to make a sacrifice.)
CPU: Intel i7-4790k 4ghz (4.4ghz turbo) haswell (devil's canyon)
Mobo: MSI Z97 Gaming 7 LGA 1150
GPU: MSI Geforce GTX 770 2gb
Ram: 2x4gb G. Skill Ripjaws X Series DDR3 2133
PSU: SeaSonic M12ll 620 Bronze 620w Modular
HDD: 1tb WD Black Series 7200rpm
SDD: Samsung 840 EVO 250gb
OS: Windows 8.1 full version

Also picked up a Red 140mm fan by Corsair... and a couple sleeved red led strips by NZXT.

And I also plan to pick up a Kraken X61 closed loop Liquid Cooler once I get a little more cash...

Price of everything once I pickup the Kraken X61 will be just about $1700, including the shipping cost to hawaii... case was 70$ for shipping
(but Shoprunner+Newegg Prime trials gave free shipping on everything else.)

Can't wait to get everything to start building!!!

Thanks for the advice which helped me tweak by build until it was in the right spot!

damn you really kicked the price up on that xD

dont worry, only like 3 more monitors and a few more nerdgasms will get you to pcmasterrace

enjoy your new pc

Haha, ya, thanks!

There's this insurance company who shipped my car, and I got them to pay like 1250$ for scrapes on the wheel and tire (just found out a few days ago)... So it increased my budget. 
was aiming for 1500$ after I found out about the insurance payout... costs about that if you deduct the price of windows and the shipping cost on the case 

Next upgrade will probably be another 250gb SSD to run in raid0, or maybe another 1tb HDD for raid0. I also need to pick up a new monitor, mouse and keyboard... (long overdue.)



Ohyeah I had another question. The case the NZXT H440 doesn't have slots for optical drives... but I can still plug in an internal CD/DVD drive and just have it hang out the side of the case while I install windows OS right? Optical drives plug straight into the Mobo I'm guessing? I was gonna buy an external usb CD/DVD drive but I don't think I'd ever use it aside from installing windows from CD...

Yeah you just need a HD power cable and a SATA cable. Those are normally long enough to put the drive next to your pc while installing

Don't bother with raid 0, not worth it.

CD drives plug into the mobo with a sata cable (so yes).
You can install windows with a usb btw :p.

Looks solid.
