Help please. Spec for new build

[Grim666]

Hi

I've been trying to pick the components for a new build for what feels like forever. PC is mainly for gaming with some video/photo editing. I already have keyboard, mouse, OS and a monitor (but I would like a larger monitor).

Here is my latest basket:
EPIC BUNDLE: Intel 4790K, Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7, Kingston 16GB 2400MHz Kit, Superflower 750W PSU £551.96
XFX Radeon R9 290 DD Black Edition 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with FREE Kingston 60GB SSD £289.99
Corsair Carbide 540 High Airflow ATX Cube Case - £98.95
Crucial MX100 256GB SATA 2.5” 7mm SSD + 9.5mm Adapter £79.99
Raijintek EreBoss High Performance CPU Cooler Black £29.99
OcUK 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £19.99
Asus VN279Q 27" Widescreen Super-Slim Bezel LED Monitor - £233.99

Total Inc shipping: £1,327.79

I'm a little over budget but I can live with that.

Does this spec look ok? Have I missed anything obvious? Could I get better performance for less?

Thanks for any advice or suggestions.

Thanks.

Any suggestions for a different case & heatsink? Ideally I want a quiet system and I would prefer a plain black case but reviews/price guided me to that corsair.

Thanks Tamzzy

I have thought about the liquid cooling but I have absolutely no experience with it. How do you fit it, do you need to refill it, buy a pump etc?

Also I think that case might be out of stock but I am considering this one now:
Corsair Obsidian 450D High Airflow Mid-Tower Case.

Ok you sold me on the phanteks. It looks like the fans that come with it are a bit noisy. Any suggestions for good, quiet replacements?

 

[Grim666]

OK so I'm nearly ready to go with this.

I'll be fitting two extra hard drives and using the SSD for the OS. I've also got a sound card I'd like to install. Is there anything else I've forgotten about? Do you have any alternative suggestions for roughly the same price?

LOL. Are you on commission for that case?

I've decided to leave the monitor for now until I've had a chance to do more research on them. Brings the price down to just over £1000.

I'll check the offer on the RAM in the morning.

Hi again. I bought the Phanteks and the H105 but I'm having some trouble connecting it all together - see my post here. Tamzzy - you got any idea how to connect all this up?
