Solve : Input On My Build?

Answer»

I am currently in the process of building a GAMING computer. Its not going to be highest quality, but I have a budget of $1700. I currently built a setup with PARTS on PC Part Picker so I am posting this here for your input on something better than what I've listed for same price or cheaper if possible. Thanks.

Looks good, just a couple of points.

Your CPU is the i5 4690 so you won't be able to overclock it, if you want the ability to overclock you will need the 4690k.

That CASE already includes all the fans you need, for a system like yours you will not need to add more.

The stock cooler will have paste preapplied so you will not need your own (unless you just fancy having some around as spare).I don't plan to Overclock as I won't need it. With a GTX 760 I should be able to play most games on Med-High or even Max. The fans are replacements because their red colored, the stock fans are blue. The THERMAL paste is just for keeping spare around in case I ever change CPU's. Thanks for the input though.Ahh yeah, I meant the 4690k. :p

If you want the inside lit up red you would be best to also get a strip of red LEDs rather than just using fans as they don't spill that much light into the case.I switched to the 4690k anyways. Its only $20 or so more. I am thinking of LED strips aswell as the red fans.For those who don't want to open the link to view the parts:
