SSD any 128gb, and HDD 2tb WD Black or Blue. CPU Cooler if you will OC: Hyper 212.

Haha, I was gonna too do almost all of what you said. The only difference that I would have taken a Seagate 1TB instead of 2TB black/blue.

I made this, is this fine?

CM Storm Stryker
XFX ProSeries Core Edition 850W PSU
Intel Core i5-4670K
ASUS Z87-A, Socket-1150 ATX
Cooler Master Seidon 120M
Crucial DDR3 BallistiX Sport 16GB
MSI GeForce GTX 770 2GB
MSI GeForce GTX 770 2GB
SSD: Kingston HyperX 3K SSD 120GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda® 1TB SATA

Wow that is really similar to what I've said. But if I were you, I'd drop the water cooler. The closed loop liquid cooler is not that efficient compared to high end air coolers, even compared to the Hyper 212 which is a budget cooler. But it's up to you bro.

Sure, the Seagate 1tb is also good! Ballistix Sport yeaaaa! Good price and performance with it.

The one you posted is really really fine!

Cooler - $80 - Phanteks PH-TC14 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
TIM - $7 - Shin Etsu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Why do you need the extra thermal compound?

I would do something like this:

Isnt 750W PSU abit low? I tought it was minimum 850W psu for gtx 770 sli?

adimeister · Aug 4, 2013

This one is enough http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207029&nm_mc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r&cm_mmc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r-_-Power+Supplies-_-XFX-_-17207029

770 requires 12v with 62amps. And this PSU has that, and it has 4 6+2PCIE connectors. ANd this one's cheap!

JackNaylorPE · Aug 4, 2013

Id say OK to a stock system at 750 watts but he's spending $100+ on a cooler so it's safe to assume he's overclocking. Nvidia says 600 for the system + 230 for the 2nd card.

http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-770/specifications

Graphics Card Power (W) = 230
Minimum Recommended System Power (W) = 600 W

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/msi_geforce_gtx_770_gaming_review,5.html

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 770 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 770 2-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 750 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
GeForce GTX 770 3-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 1000 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

If you are going to overclock your GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.

JackNaylorPE :

Does it really make that much of a difference over the compound that comes with your CPU fan? I always assume that it's a waste of money.

Isnt 750W PSU abit low? I tought it was minimum 850W psu for gtx 770 sli?

Yeah true, getting an 850W definitely would not hurt.

JackNaylorPE · Aug 4, 2013

Noctua stuff tested at 38.55 ..... Shin Etsu 1 degree lower....worth $7 ?, only the person opening wallet can decide
