So you may have seen me posting about here for the past week. I have been wanting to create a Rendering/Gaming PC which will Max out every game at 1080p. So many of you were extremely helpful in my quest. I have no intention to overclock hence the non k version. After hours of research into the GPU I have found that the MSI Lightning is basically factory OC anyway and is one of the best cards if you're not intending to overclock but it can be pushed even more.

Let me know what you think about the build, SSD will be bought later on when the new Samsung EVO comes out.

Look if u have no intention to oc then an z87 would be an overkill
Get a h87 board instead of z87

For the psu xfx is a quality maker as its supplies are manufactured by seasonic and all the supplies are tier 1/2 supplies
Its one of the best company in supplies

The 4770k means it's unlocked so that you can OC no? If I have no intention to OC how would I benefit out of it? might be something that I'm not aware of and XFX? will have a look into it.

h87 is a normal non OC board? I will check out some reviews now. Will 550W be adequate for this build?
