My son is getting my 2500K gaming system (he has been working his *** off in the yard, weeding, mowing, raking all summer). It needs replacing.
Here is what I plan to replace it with.
Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 High Airflow White LED ATX Cube Computer Case - Black
Corsair CX Series CX750 750 Watt ATX 12V Power Supply
Intel Core i5-4690K
ASUS Z97-AR LGA 1150 Intel ATX Motherboard
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm PWM Fan
Crucial Ballistix Sport XT 16GB DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800) CL9 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit (Two 8GB Memory Modules)
Crucial MX100 Series 256GB SSD
Samsung SH-224DB24x SATA Internal DVD Burner
Windows 7 Ultimate
I also have an older PCI video card going in here, and a 3.5 2TB hdd. I will upgrade the video card eventually.
A little worried about the motherboard. I went with the z97-AR over the z97-p mostly for more fan connectors. It's a $30 difference.
Does anything here look out of place? Too expensive, too cheap, won't fit?
