its a good biuld but u can get a better one for $1k

Thanatos Telos · Jul 17, 2013

Get an i5 4430 and an H87 board with the extra change. Anything left should go towards a GTX 760 instead of the HD 7870.

EDIT: Also, 8GB of RAM is necessary for any build over 500$. If you can, use this to get your parts: pcpartpicker.com

It's pretty reliable and only uses reputable sites. Also, it fetches the best prices across the net.

Couple things in that build.
SSD is TLC take MLC SSD
Only 4GB memory.
PSU is not best one.
HDD is missing. (maybe OP do not need one)
So my build goes like this:
PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1hA7y
If need HDD take this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seagate-internal-hard-drive-st1000dm003

Monitor is same. Maybe you can find better. Maybe not

I really do not know this monitor. Is it good or not.

Thanatos Telos :

+1 to all of this.

We could also suggest a complete alternate build if you like, OP.

I think this mobo do have better power component to CPU to overclock. Than the PRO 4
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-h87performance
And gigabyte is good: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz87hd3
I think gigabyte is best buy for this price.
Kingston memory kits did have issue with asrock Z-77 mobo. They did not work with first bios. Mobo did need bios update and then they did work. I do not know is the same issue with 87 mobo. Stil Id get some other memory. Just to make sure they work.
Corsair is not best PSU so take XFX ,Seasonic or rosewill. 450-550w is enough for overclocking.
This is really good. Not cheap but good. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182261
550w: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182068
650w is good for SLI: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182071

H87 boards aren't made to OC (Even though they can), Kingston makes great RAM, so maybe it's an isolated scenario for you, The Corsair PSU I chose is in tier 2 and surpasses any Rosewill PSU, and 650w is insufficient for a high-end SLI.

Technically, this isn't true - the solid Rosewill ones made by Super Flower are also tier 2.

Just nitpicking, I'd take the TX650 right now over the good Rosewills given that there's $30 in promos on the TX650 until the end of the upcoming weekend.

Thanatos Telos · Jul 17, 2013

DSzymborski :

Damn, could've sworn they only had 2 Rosewill PSUs on that page a second ago. Maybe my memory is failing me at the age of 15.

DSzymborski · Jul 17, 2013

Thanatos Telos :

As I noted, it was a little nitpicky, but I didn't want anyone reading to be scared off Rosewill's recent PSUs, given that they've made a good effort to get those PSUs manufactured well (I make sure to note the Seasonic-made Cooler Master V series for the same reason).

Wrong now you can OC with any asrock B and H mobo and with ECS mobo too. Wait just a while then all manufacturer go this way. Kington did not have issue. Asrock did have issue with kingston like I said.
Sorry to tell you this but rosewill makes the best PSU right now. Not cheap but good. This PSU can handle any SLI set:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182073
two GTX 780 is easy task for this PSU. I think 650w can do the job too.
Like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182071
Now remember a good PSU gives more wattage than label say.
550w rosewill gives over 600w if build needs so much wattage

and this: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Rosewill-CAPSTONE-550M-Power-Supply-Review/1584
I think they are the best PSU market now. Well super flower is same so. They both are the best.

Do you even read? I said they could, but they just weren't made to handle the extra heat! Also, the TX/HX series is made by Seasonic, and I know someone who squeezed 700w out of their 600W Seasonic-made PSU.

I won't be OCing, and tried to save money for a better monitor. This build is fine too, right? or should I pay a bit more for upgrade

AxlFone · Jul 18, 2013

Thanatos Telos :

yeah I do read. I know too that a good seasonic 750 will give more than 900w to full load. How come there is heat issue?
How much heat the psu gets when it takes cool air out side of case ? This I really do not get. here the extra heat comes in PSU?!? Why do you not explain it to me?

the psu are tested to be stable at 50 degree warm. So how warm they do get? How warm is your psu right now?

This I know my seasonic did work about 60 degree C 6 or 7 years. It was top mounted. And build did have only one 120mm fan. The video card was no fan version. so all cooling did happen with 120mm case fan + PSU fan. It was a 775 build and it was overclocked Q9300 and it did work really well 24/7 stable.
So whewe is the heat in PSU when you trow PSU bottom of case? Now new PSU do not get HOT. More efficiency PSU is cooler because it do not make warm it makes wattage. So Bronze PSU is more warm than Gold.
