i5-4670K Rig. Please help!!!

Trojans · Jun 13, 2013

After a day of searching, I finally finish my build. Can someone please take a look at it and see if there's anything I should be aware of. Or if you have any suggestions on certain parts, please let me know. I would really appreciate any input.

Please help me choose a Wifi card, sound card(Do I really need it?), Case fan (Do I need it?), and thermal compound(Maybe?)

Here is the link

Build generally looks good. No need to buy additional soundcard.
Integrated Realtek ALC1150 has got very good reviews.
As for wifi card, looking at motherboard layout, I recommend getting something on old-fashioned PCI, have a look at tplink products TL-WN751N, TL-WN851N, TL-WN951N.
I would swap your Noctua cooler for Phanteks PH-TC14PE. It comes in variety of colors and have good thermal compound included. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835709011
You can also get a cheaper PSU. 600-650W model will be easily sufficient.
8GB of RAM is enough for gaming - you can save some money here.

Your case comes with only one preinstalled fan. You can consider buying two or three more now or wait until you see all the temps and decide later.
140mm fans I recommend:
Antec TwoCool 140 and Phanteks PH-F140TS
120mm fans:
Corsair SP120 High Performance or Quiet edition depending on airflow needed.

get an i5 3570k, it is cheaper and only lacks 5% in performance. IMO I say he will need a sound card, I was using intel graphics, but I could keep hearing the interference from my stuff which caused crackling in my headphones, which has been fixed with a £20 sound card from Asus.
