Hello, i want to build a gaming pc and i'm new in this.Can you guys look at this build and tell me if there is any compatibility problem in it or if i can make any improvements?
PC case: Aerocool Xpredator X1
HDD: SEAGATE Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB
RAM: CORSAIR CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10, 8GB DDR3
Processor: Intel Core i5-4460
Motherboard: Asrock H97 PRO4
PSU: Corsair VS 550W
Graphics card: ASUS GeForce GTX 970 TURBO OC, 4GB GDDR5
Also is asus gtx 970 strix or Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970, GV-N970WF3OC-4GD better than turbo? In my country turbo got a discount from 440$ to 338$, strix model is 397$ and gigabyte model is 362$.
 
Uhm, build threads go in General Hardware, and should NOT be titled "Need help fast!!!". You're not going to order parts in the next 10 minutes, are you?
 
As far as compatability, yes, everything will work. As far as it being the best build for your budget, we need a little more information about how you are going to use your PC, what games you will be playing, and where you are going to source your parts from....

Please answer these questions...

i want to play all the new games at ultra settings on a full hd monitor.i will buy the components from a shop from Romania... i'm just curious if there is a better video card in the same money range. Has my psu enough watts?
 
Purple is for surveillance.

WD Blue is the WD alternative to Seagate ST1000DM003, and IMO Blue is the better buy.

You should change the PSU to a better quality unit. VS series is Corsair's lowest, crappiest end product range. Usually you can find Seasonic S12II, M12II and XFX Core / TS at decent price across Europe.
