Hello everyone, I am about to orders these components and since this will be my first self build PC I wanted to get some feedback if what I chose I... chose good.. ?

  • Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-X OC 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (11227-00-40G)
  • Intel Core i7-4790K 4.00GHz (Devil's Canyon) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail
  • Asus Maximus VII Ranger Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard
  • Bitfenix Colossus Venom Green LED Big Tower Windowed Case - Black
  • Corsair Hydro H110 280mm High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (CW-9060014-WW)
  • Samsung 250GB SSD 840 SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TD250BW)
  • Seasonic M12II EVO Edition 850W
  • Kingston HyperX 8GB (2x4GB) PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/Red (HX24C11BRK2/8-OC) (Upgrading later)
  • Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST2000DM001) HDD

Will the PSU do it's work? Is it not overpowered?
Do you think the h110 will do it's work with cooling my 4790K will I have some space for OC?

Anything else I should get as well? Maybe there is something I didn't think about?

EDIT: I am sort of on the line of my budget with this, so trying not to go much higher then the current price ;)

Thank you,-

Thanks for pointing out the compatibility issue, Doomedspeed! Would have missed that!

You get the red/green Collosus version for +£20, the windowed versions have single LED colour. Windowed Red case was out of stock and the windowless versions are a wee bit too shiny for me ;)

I think I will simply upgrade to the Obsidian 750D for an extra fiver :) Seems it has plenty of room for water cooling and is a solid case in every other aspect as well..
