I've been looking abit. I'am not 100% sure on my system but pretty sure. So I will ask you. I will just start to say?

-Will 8gb ram be enough for future games as bf4, gta v, etc etc?

-8gb 1866 mhz for 70 dollars less then a 16gb 1600 mhz ram. Will it be worth to save the money or not? I can always upgrade to 16 in the future.

-XFX proseries 850w psu or should i spend 20 dollars more for corsair 850w psu?

-Will this be a future proof gaming pc or is it something I really have to change in less then one and a half year?

Specs:

CM storm stryker
XFX ProSeries Core Edition 850W PSU
Intel Core i5-4670K Processor
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming, Socket-1150
Cooler Master Seidon 120M
Kingston DDR3 HyperX Beast 8GB 1866MHz 2x4GB KIT
Gainward GeForce GTX 770 2GB PhysX CUDA
Gainward GeForce GTX 770 2GB PhysX CUDA
Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB
WD Desktop Blue 1TB SATA

Keyboard: CM Storm QuickFire TK Keyboard Brown

Question about the keyboard: Do this keyboard have white led lights that match the cm storm stryker?

Monitor: Asus 24" LED VG248QE

Question about the monitor: Is this monitor good for 250 dollars or should I go for another for my system?

So please answer all these things. Please tell me if it's something I forgot. And btw, I will overclock.

Thanks!

if you want a cheaper ssd, don't get the regular 840, get the 830. However, I still recommend the 840 PRO. as for size, that is purely up to your discretion. I think 240 would be better.

Looks good, it will last a long time. I would suggest to save money by getting the xfx psu and buying 16gb ram. also, get a single 780 or titan as opposed to sli 770, as to sli is sometimes hard to deal with and some games do not take advantage of it. if you have a single card, you can always upgrade it by adding another one later if you need more power.

also, im kinda picky, so if I were you id get a Samsung 840 pro or Samsung 830 instead of the Kingston ssd.

oh and im not sure if you forgot the optical drive or just didn't need it :)

Maybe you think this is wierd. But I will prob never upgrade the graphic cards. I will just have this computer till i get 18 or something. I'am 14 years old now, so I will just get a good pc I don't need to change anything for the next years. Just the ram.

The 8GB of RAM will be fine for now. Pretty much no games require more than that (at least now) and it's true that you can upgrade it (easily) to 16GB later. The PSU you selected is a good one. If you dont want a semi-modular PSU that is. I would have to agree with oczdude, you should definately stick with just one video card. I'd recommend the 780. Yes, it's expensive, but you only really need one GPU for now, especially with one monitor.

Do you think it is really worth to use 90 dollars more on that SSD? I don't got more to "waste" :/

It really is overkill to get two 770's. I suppose if you really want to waste you money on it, you can. It will work good. It's just that the 770 is on the old architecture, and the 780 is running the new, faster chip.

Yes, its MUCH more reliable. Should last about 7-10 years with heavy usage. Plus its faster.

gtx 780 is 15% faster. Please give me a reason for me to pick gtx 780. I know I get more heat and stuff, just come with another reason. I will never sli a gtx 780 in the future if I pick that.

For me this sounds like the most bullshit thing i've ever readen. 128 GB RAM IS NOT ENOUGH FOR 10 YEARS! I will probably just 120gb ram on 10 games + the os.

I can take this Samsung SSD 840 Series 250GB for the same price as the ssd you showed me. Are they the same?

no I don't think its weird at all. A single 780 will probably only be slightly weaker then 2x 770 in synthetic bencmarks, but in reality, you may find the 780 to be just as good or even better in games then 770sli. plus you save some money. and if you don't want to upgrade go for 16gb so you don't end up mixing 2 different 8gb kits in the future.

no the 840 ssd is different from the 840 PRO ssd. the PRO is much faster and has a much longer life span.

I figured out that your the only one of 13 people that have told me that. And if I was gonna sli the gtx 780 maybe in the future I should go for that. But its only 100 dollars different between gtx 770 sli and gtx 780. So I choose to take the gtx 770 sli. But I ask again. Do cm storm quickfire brown have white led lights on the buttons?
