Hi. I'm in need of someone who understands hardware and is aware of what works in a PC and what doesn't. I want a 3D Rendering machine AND capable of gaming at high performances. My current choices for these goals are as follows:
MOBO:Asus SABERTOOTH Z87 Socket 1150
CPU:Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5 GHz Socket 1150 Box
GPU:Gigabyte GTX 770 OC 4GB DDR5 256 Bit WINDFORCE 3X
MEMORY:Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB DDR3 2133MHz CL10
PSU:Corsair Professional Series HX850 80 PLUS Gold 850W
HDD:Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM SATA3
SSD:Samsung 840 Basic Series 120GB
CASE:CoolerMaster HAF x nVidia Edition(This is debatable, still not sure if I want the nVidia one or just plain simple black + red)
I am really worried that I'll screw up and as a new user I'm asking you if you can help me.
Any advice as to why this is bad and that is good is welcomed!
Thank you in advance!
PS: I forgot to mention some questions about compatibility:
1) Can the ASUS Z87 support 2133mhz Frequencies? Read some forums that said that there are some issues and some may not be able to operate at that frequency.
2)Is the power supply sufficient enough to power the whole rig? In the future I may want to upgrade my stuff (hence the big case).
3)Is a CPU Cooler recommended? I've heard that the stock coolers can make a lot of noise and are not reliable.
