Hello everyone!
So, I am currently planning to build a new gaming PC. I have right now a 2 year old one that still works great, but since a family member is without a PC at all at the moment I thought I would donate my current machine to him (what a generous soul I know
) and create for myself the perfect excuse to get a new one 
I am not a super expert and I am not super updated on the new hardware, hence my making this post in the hope that someone gives my hand.
Lets get to it:
Intel I7 4770k
Asus Sabertooth z87
Corsair Hydro H110
SSD 250 or so --------> any good recommendations? crucial ssd, samsung ssd, corsair sad.. ?
WD Caviar Black 1TB
Asus Xonar Essence STX
Corsair PSU---- hx850 Gold or ax860 platinum?
RAM------> no clue! 0_o wanna go for 16gb, but I'd love some suggestions here.
Case---> i friend of mine got himself a corsair obsidian 650d i believe and it looks cool, but I really wouldn't know. I'd like a mid case though.
and then to the most awful part for the wallet: GPUs. From my understanding new AMD cards are coming really really soon, hence it would be smart to wait and see how they do, or maybe just hope they force the nvidia prices down a little. In general I'd like to go with nvidia and I was thinking about 1 or 2 evga superclocked gtx 780s. ACX cooler. maybe the r9 290x? ..!
last thing, I would also like to make the jump to a 120hz monitor. i was looking at the BenQ XL2420T but really I don't know.
all right! I'll look forward to any answers and thanks
PS: I don't have a budget. Meaning, I'll pay what I have to. That doesn't mean that I like to throw cash out of the window obviously.
