Hello everyone. I'am gonna buy a gaming pc, and I don't know if I've picked good components for the price. Since I live in Norway, I can't buy from Amazon so I tried to find good components, with a good price. And the price of the components are so different from newegg - supersmart.no Example, a thing on the Norwegian site I'am using can cost 250 dollars, but on Newegg it is 140 dollars. Thats why I've used alot of time to find best comonents with best price as possible. So yeah, here is my components and I hope you can give me a feedback if you think I've choosen "alright" components. You can try to find better components for the same price on Supersmart.no¨

So anyway, here is my specs:

CM storm stryker
Antec 750w
Intel core i7 4770k
ASUS MK Z87-A (ATX, Z87, 1150) (Z87-A)
ARCTIC Freezer 13 CPU Cooler
Corsair Vengeance Red 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 2133 MHz
2x Gigabyte gtx 770
Kingston HyperX 240gb
SEAGATE barracuda 1tb
DVD writer: http://www.supersmart.no/PartDetail.aspx?q=p:2423900
And windows 8 pro 32/64 BIT


Yeah, thats it. I'am gonna edit, and multitask to. Remember that these prices are difference from newegg.com, so something looks pretty wierd. Anyway, please try to get a better build with 15500 max Norwegian krones at supersmart.no

I hope you can give me a feedback if you think it is a nice build, with great components and nothing need/have to change.

With overclocking and SLI 770's I'd go with a quality 850W supply. My latest favorite is Cooler Master's new V850

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171079

I'd recommend just 1600 ram since it will only increase performance 1% at most. Besides, overclocking the RAM will mean you cannot overclock the cores as much which is what will really give you more performance. Also go with just two 8GB ram sticks with no heat spreaders so you can fit any CPU cooler on better. Plus you will be able to bump up to 32GB if the need arises.

I absolutely love this case, it really is awesome. And good build overall. Just a few issues :

1. You'll need 850W on the PSU (Antec, Corsair, Seasonic, XFX)
2. I'd rather get the SSD from Samsung. The 840 PRO series, or the 840 EVO (a little bit cheaper, a slight bit less performances) are the best right now.

Well, I do not need a 850w psu. I know it's recommended, but it won't give me any more performance at all. The samsung 840 pro and Kingston HyperX got more like same performance. And I'am not gonna pay 50 dollars more for 16 more GB :)

also, 16gb ram is overkill and that cpu cooler is slightly awkward,slightly noisy and slightly inefficient. the xigmatek gaia or LOKI is better for low noise cooling and the cm hyper EVO is good too. i'd personally wait a little and get the new LOKI 2 or the excellent LOKI(original).

It's not only recommended, it's actually that your system might not work at all if you don't have enough power for it.

Whoa, you didn't read my post did you? First of all, I'am gonna edit, and I'am buying from a Norwegian site that doesn't have Hyper 212 evo -.-. I already checked that, read my post before commenting.

I know, the 1600mhz ram, and the 2133mhz ram costs the same. Thats why I said the prices in Norway are wierd. Anyway, I already checked that I can use all 4 ram kits. And I'am not gonna have this computer for 10 years. I think that 16gb ram is enough for 4 years.

Frankly, you'd be insane not to get the 850W supply. A marginal supply will cause you a host of weird problems and could end up destroying your components when it blows. Do not skimp on the power supply. It needs to be of high quality and plenty of power, especially when overclocking.

I know, it's a risk. I will try to get my budget abit higher and go for 850w. Anyway, help me to find the cheapest PSU 850w that will work. MAX 950! http://www.supersmart.no/SearchResult.aspx?q=kw:850w

I know the corsair TX 850w is fine, but that will go some dollars over my budget.

the 750w is a little more than enough as a quick google will show you. a 800w psu is recommended though. the V850 posted above is really good aswell.

on another note, a 4770k is is useless on a gaming build. a 4670k is more than enough for sli 770s.

Well, my budget is tiny. I think I can stick a 850w there for max 950 norwegian krones and then. I can't go a single Norwegian krone over that. Max 950 http://www.supersmart.no/SearchResult.aspx?q=kw:850w

You didn't read my post, did you? I said I will multitask, and overclock so I will need hyperthreading.

that's about a 700W system under full load. i don't think the 750W antec will quite make the cut; i think it's a bronze rated psu which means it will give you 80% or so of the rated power at one time, over an extended period. That means its good for about 600W. It will probably run your system, but when you get under heavy loads it will likely lead to crashes and instability.

You need a 850W bronze rated or a 800W gold/platnum rated psu. If you go with an 800W make sure it's not modular, you lose some power in a modular psu. Get something like a SeaSonic M12II 850W

multitasking sees little to no benefit from HT.
HT does not affect overclocking positively.

what will you be editing? will you be editing often? is it worth $100 or whatever kronor difference?

the GS800 is perfect. nice choice.

The funny thing is that the GS 800w was even cheaper. I like that it had blue leds on it, since I will fill my CM storm stryker with blue led sticks afterwards :). Anyway, I was be editing alot.
Heres one of my "over edits". It's a pretty wierd game, but I can't play anything better so I will go over to BF4 when it comes. Anyway, heres a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1a7mX_8HQU

i think he's worried about it being a bronze unit. that just means it will produce more heat and draw more power than a platinum unit. that extra heat and wasted electricity is not much and that psu is fine.

if it's wattage he is worried about many 770 sli reviewers have claimed 800w is the recommended wattage for your psu and many psu experts on this forum said 760w is the sweet spot.

i am all for the gs800.

I think I will listen you you. It's cheaper, and got blue led which is awesome. I think my case got good cooling and a lot of space so my computer won't get so warm :)

as i said... your system is basically a 700W system under full load (that's a rough guesstimate but not far off), the 800W psu is a bronze certified modular psu. Which means it will be able to supply consistently under worst case scenario about 640W. now 60W is definately within the margin of error of my guestimate on your system at full load; 2 770s in SLi will pull around 450-550W by themselves. and the Haswell when overclocked under load will pull another 200-250W as well (even stock it should pull close to 200). That means your system will pull under load something like 650W (min) or as much as 800W (max)... i don't think it will scrape close to 800W, it will likely be much closer to 700W under an overclock.

That's why i'd like you to get a gold rated or better 800W psu, and at the bare minimum a bronze rated 850W psu.

In reality you probably would be best off with a 900W psu min... but i understand cash is tight, so those would be the smallest psus i'd go for.

gtx 770 - 180 watts max

gtx 770 - 180 watts max

i7 4770k - 80w and 164w when it's overclocked to 4,7ghz. And I will overclock to 4,2

Seidon pump - 2 watts max

Seidon included fans - 7 watts max

HDD - 10 watts max

SSD - 3 watts max

case fans - less than 11 watts max(assuming .3A or less current)

total ~470 watts max.
