I haven't built a machine since the early 90's and am looking to build a new gaming machine and have spent the week in stealth mode reading up on various parts. This is what I'm starting to narrow in on:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 65.0 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VI FORMULA ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LP 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LP 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 770 4GB Video Card (2-Way SLI)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 770 4GB Video Card (2-Way SLI)
Case: Cooler Master HAF X ATX Full Tower Case
Power Supply: SeaSonic X Series 850W 80 PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8 Professional (OEM) (64-bit)
Monitor: Asus VE228H 21.5" Monitor
Monitor: Asus VE228H 21.5" Monitor
Keyboard: Logitech G510s Wired Gaming Keyboard
Mouse: Logitech G700s Wireless Laser Mouse
Any glaring issues? My biggest outstanding question is the PSU. Power calculators are all over the place. I think this will be more than enough based on the eXtreme calculator, but it's given the lowest calculation of the 4-5 calculators I've tried. In addition to the above parts, I have a Blue Ray drive, media card reader, and a couple 1 TB drives from my current machine that will probably migrate into the new build. I don't have any overclocking experience, but it is something I would like to try with this build.
Thanks for any input.
