Nice! Only thing I would be careful of is Seagate. I've had nothing but issues from their HDDs in the past, Western Digital is the way to go. WD Caviar Blacks are amazing for their price. Also, you really don't need that powerful of a PSU unless you plan on expanding to an SLI setup down the road - in that case go for it! I'm actually building my second personal build, the last one was outdated. The 4690k + GTX 970 seems to be a very popular choice in gaming PCs, performance per dollar is the best in this combo. Btw, if you want to save some money - buying from reddit.com/r/hardwareswap is the way to go. Amazing deals from amazing people, been selling/buying from there for a while and love it! Here's my rig I'm in the process of building; http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LYP699 The Case I bought brand new from jet.com for $70 w/free shipping. It was an unbelievable deal. Good Luck! p.s. Never done liquid/water cooling, tell me how it goes! I've always been too afraid of spilling stuff everywhere...
i am going for the psu mainly because it is modular and i gor some custom sleeved cables for free updated : http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/46VBCJ notice the LTT fans already pre-orderd update2 : http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/zrs8GX
I'd go i7 all the way. Maybe even invest in a 6th gen i7 and a mobo for it with ddr4 ram. That'd run real nice...
Go with the i5 you have. It's good enough, and if you do want more, go for the better platform i7 6700k instead of the 4790k. The Asus GTX 970 is probably the best one out there, go with that one. Stay away from MSI, I've had them and they blow up and overheat. Everything else is a very good choice - perhaps a Wifi card? You might need it if your ethernet doesn't reach the rig.
I have an MSI 970 TFV, haven't had any issues and it runs at a cool 55C full load, overclocked to 1416 MHz boost. I absolutely recommend it. A friend has a TFIV 760 and it also runs great. Cannot speak for non-gaming or AMD cards from MSI since I have no experience with them, but their current gaming lineup is excellent. And the best 970 out there is probably the G1, really good at overclocking.
25m cat 5e? Don't be too surprised if you get latency issues, I would buy a booster if I were you. That's a lot of distance the information has to travel. Go with EVGA on the 970, I had one before I sold my old build and was fantastic. Also, is the SSD going to be your primary game drive and the WD Green a storage drive? WD Greens are great for storage but that's about it. 5400RPM is kinda slow, maybe go with a WD Blue instead. Might be a little higher priced but well worth the extra performance gain.
25m is no issue at all. Cat5e is still rated for gigabit throughputs at 100m. Its also not latency thats an issue, even 1km of cat5e will be sub nanosecond latency, but signal noise and line capacitance would be too much causing transmission errors which then identifies as packet loss to the host device.
http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/Qyn8GX there are no 2 TB blues as far as i could find on pcpartpicker and i am used to slow speeds edit: found one http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/fvbTK8 anything else
Ahh I see. I can't remember if it were Cat 5 or 5e that had the low rating limit. Hm. Looks good man!
Oh nothing, I remember having some either Cat 5 or 5e that would have severe latency issues over 80ft.
