Thinking of building a PC my own. Planning to get below parts:

CPU: I5-4690K
GPU: MSI R9-290 Gaming 4G
MB: MSI Z97 Gaming 3
Ram: G.Skill RipjawZ Quad DDR3 2133mhz
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H55
HDD: WD 1TB
SSD: Samsung M.2 NGFF 128G

Haven't thought of which casing, PSU and an extra fan cooler. Any idea/comment? Feel free to shoot...

:)

Ripjaw rams are good but comes at a premium.
Ideally I'd suggest getting 2 x 8gb rams instead of 1 16gb or higher.

Unless you're planning on overclocking, watercooling isn't really necessary.
A cheaper alternative is CM Hyper 212 EVO.

Seasonic,CM,Corsair makes good PSU, get one with a 80gold at the power supply you need and you're golden.

NZXT makes some cool looking cases (Phantom,h440), enthusiasts also likes fractal r4 for noise dampening and it's modular interior.

GPU - MSI GTX 970 Gaming Twin Frozr V
CASE - Wait for the NZXT S340
PSU - cant go wrong with Seasonic
Fans - cant go wrong with Noctua

Thanks all for the reply. Definitely will look into Seasonic PSU and have been eyeing on NZXT Phantom. =)
