So lets start Graphics card: ASUS GTX 980 PCI-E3.0 4GB GDDR5 CPU: Intel Core i5 4690K 3,9Ghz Turbo, 6MB cache, 1150 Power: 750w Corsair CX750M ATX Semi-Modular Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer ATX Intel LGA1150 RAM: 16GB Crucial Ballistix Sport 2x8GB 1600Mhz Hard Drive: Seagate 2TB SATA3 6Gb/s, 64MB 7200 SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 120 GB CPU fan: Zalman CNPS10X Tower: NZXT H230 Silent So any thoughts? I'm not smart on computer parts but what i am mostly thinking about is BF4 ArmA 2 - 3 CS:GO CS:S and some school work. Should i get a bigger SSD or? 1 Link to comment

If you plan on keeping this computer for a very long time, you might want to consider a i7 instead of that i5. Nothing wrong with the i5 you chose, it's just that e.g a i7 4770k costs around the same, has twice as many threads and more cache. Link to comment

If you want to save some money go with 8bg ram instead of 16 unless you multitask alot and need it wich most ppl dont and you can allways get some more if you need it. I also think the phrapic card is a bit over kill maybe. I have a gtx 760 4gb and i can pretty much run every game that cost less then half of that card. But sure it might be good for future proofing Link to comment

Unless your doing a LOT of Photoshop/After Effects work at the same time, you will never need all of that. Do you need a 2tb drive? Why not just stick at 1tb? Link to comment

IMO all you really get that is significant is hyperthreading which is useless for gaming. I've run an i5-3570k OCed to 4.5Ghz for years and it works fine. Link to comment
