Any advise would be appreciated as it will take some hours at my work just to make this build become reality.

Edit 1: After looking around and talking to others I learned that amoung other things the i5 will suit my needs for the work side of things as thats what we have in our compututers apparently. Also thanks to all that commented below this is my first from scratch build so im still new to this in a few regards.

What are you planning on using this for specifically? you might want to save yourself about $100 and just get the I5-4670K instead.

Pc gaming and Inventor

you won't experience any performance increase while gaming on an I7 over an I5. And in ideal situations you might get an increase of 25% performance with rendering/compiling things that are optimized for hyperthreading (Which very few things are). You will likely get maybe 10-15% increase in performance when rendering videos and stuff like that with an I7, and even then if that's worth the extra $100, that's your choice. The gaming sweet-spot though is the I5-4670K at the moment.

but that's a pretty solid build. if you'd asked us a few months ago we'd likely have suggested an AMD GPU, however people started buying them for mining crypto-currencies again, so their prices jumped a lot.

I agree with all points stated by soul here.

The performance increase between the 4670k and 4770k is not worth the extra $100 in gaming. For rendering, that may be a different story.

For the cooler, you might also want to look at the Noctua nh-d14. It usually isn't that much more expensive than the one you picked, and performs quite similarly to 240mm AIO coolers.

Another reason for jumping to the i7 was longevity. I'd like to build something that will last as long as possible and and extra $100 for a processor isn't that big of a deal to me because out of all the parts that you can replace on a pc the mobo and processor seem like the least fun to upgrade.

Do you know what the difference between an I5 and an I7 is?

The only real difference between the 4670K and the 4770K is that the I7 line has hyper-threading support, which means that for every core, it has an additional thread that can be utilized by programs, which is why I7s appear to have double the amount of cores they actually have if you open up say.. performance monitor. The thing about that is, that it's still just 2 threads on the same core, so those 2 threads are still limited by that core's ability to process, and often times utilizing hyper-threading for most programs would slow them down due to the over-head cost of the extra thread.

There are very few programs that have performance gains from hyper-threading, most notably are programs that are purely based on mass-calculation, such as rendering videos, where response time doesn't really affect the performance or responsiveness of the program. For say, rendering videos, you'll see performance gains on an I7 because the extra threads allow it to run calculations slightly faster because it widens the bottleneck of the CPU a little bit, but very few programs are coded to take advantage of hyper threading, especially games. the 4-core 4670K will serve you fine for as long as the 4770K will. Upgrading to the 4770K won't future proof your build a whole lot more, however ultimately if you want to throw an additional $100 at your CPU for hyper-threading, it's your call.

Gotcha. Thanks for all the advise

Are you sure that you gonna choose for a 5400 RPM and not for a 7200 RPM harddisc drive ?? 7200 is a lot better with writing speed etc....

I don't know why the 5400 was still up there i just fixed it in my edit.
