Hello guys. I was considering buying a Laptop, because I am travelling quite often this year, but I can also take a break for Gaming while I travel, so a Desktop is good enough :)

The specs I had in mind are:

CPU: i7 Haswell 4770k - I plan to Overclock it to..let`s say 4,5ghz
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600 from GSkill
Motherboard: I still havent searched for a good MOBO, so here I need your help guys, I dont care about the brand, as soon as it`s pretty good and overclock everything like a babe.
Graphic Card: Few months ago I was going for a Radeon HD 7950 which I aim to OC to 7970`s power, but let me know if there are better cards, I never tried Nvidea, but I would if it`s better.
Heatsink: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, sounds an awesome deal for its price ( the last Desktop I had never reach high degrees ).
Case: Corsair Vengeance Series C70.
Monitor: I want to try a 120hz monitor, one from Asus, but again, if you find a better choice, I dont care :)

Basically that`s it, let me know if you have better builds.

Thanks guys!

CPU, go i5 4670K. Motherboard, you can either get a Maximus VI Hero or a GD65, both perform very similarly, and the Hero has some cool extra technology, they're both great at overclocking. It now comes down to your personal preference. Graphics card, either a MSI GTX 770 Gaming or 2 MSI GTX 760 Gaming, Nvidia are doing great with their new gpus, definitely better than the old 7900s. As power supply, if you go for a single 770, get HX750, if SLI, then get a HX850, these are some of the best PSUs in the market. For a HDD get a Seagate Barracuda 1TB. If you want an SSD, Samsung 840 Pro or Corsair Force GS are the best. I've been doing custom builds for a couple years now and you can take my word for granted I'm showing you the best there is for your budget.
