is this a good balanced system setup?

Joniostis · Oct 13, 2013

This is the first time i'm going to build my own pc, and i THINK i got everything i need and that it is compatible with eachother! I would just like to know if i have enough of everything, PSU and Motherboard in particular then, and if the components make sense. And i know 2x gtx 770 is overkill for a single monitor (what i will be using) but it's going to be a 144hz one, and then very high fps can come in handy. Also i'd like it to be a little future-proof.
The build:

*Case: Corsair carbide 200r
*MOBO: ASUS Z87-a DDR3 socket 1150 Intel Z87
*CPU: Intel Core I7 4770 3.4ghz
*GPU: 2x Nvidia Geforce GTX 770 SLI 2 x 2gb DDR5
*RAM: Corsair 8gb (2 x 4gb) 1600mhz DDR3
*PSU: 850W RM series
*HDD: WD 1TB 7200rpm hdd
*SSD: Samsung 840 EVO series 120gb
* some random cheap dvd burner

Total = 1630 EUROS

What is your opinion?

Hi. Looks pretty good to me. As for the optical drive, the LiteOn iHAS 124-04 is good or an LG.

Might as well make that a 4770K so you have the option to overclock

Joniostis :

casing :fine
Mobo :good
CPU : if not overclocking then fine and yeah future proof for next 3 years(what cooler are you using for this)
GPUs better for a 144mhz monitor but what resolution your using ? and are you going for 3D view or normal view? And what is the manufacturing company?
Ram : with respect to other system bit compromised it has to 16 GB or more and if
its just a corsair one not vengeance or vengeance LP or dominator the totally compromised.
PSU :just fine and future proof
HDD.good but i'll prefer Seagate barracuda 7200rpm its way way better the WD blue green or normal but a bit lower the a WD Black one.
SSD:fine

But for 1630 Euros ??????????? its a big time overkill man.....

Joniostis · Oct 13, 2013

Outlander_04 :

Well, i'm not going to overclock and it costs 30 euros more, also it doesn't come with a boxed cooler so i should say that it would cost me around 60-70 euros more for no real good reason :/

Stuff isn't cheap over there and I don't know but that it may include the VAT which is a killer ( 19% in Germany ).

Do you mean i should not spend so much money on a pc or that it is way to overpriced for the parts i'm getting?!
Cpu: no overclocking i will be using the boxed cooler
Gpu: will be playing at 1080p no 3D and havent decided on a specific monitor yet
Ram: i was seriously doubting between 8 and 16, not anymore, it will be 16.

Anything else?
Btw thanks

19% :O are you freaking kidding me ?

coastie65 · Oct 13, 2013

Joniostis :

I have a 4770k and OC'd it to 4.6 Ghz, but I can tell you, the 4770 out of the box is a good performer as is. I'm surprised there is no stock cooler packed with it. Probably because if you are going to OC. you need to use a third party cooler anyway.

Probably why the price is so high, then I had the addional cost of converting USD to Euros. I was getting something for a friend in Munich and was shopping at amazon.de.

Yes, i read everywhere that a third party cooler is absolutely recommended.
But that's not for me

i thought it was overpriced but 19% VAT ...OMG it fine then
16 is better and bro i'll request you to buy a cooler master 212 evo cooler atleast. v6 GT or an corsair H80i will be a better one if not overclocking but if you want to overclock it anything which this one is not capable of if its not a K one then H100i will be a needed one.

The 4770K in a retail package does ship with a cooler

I will say more, here where I live its 21%, fml

I was thinking i would need more cooling, but is watercooled much better? I'm not going to OC!

If you wont OC then there is no point using a Z87 chipset motherboard designed to allow overclocking . Save money and use an H87 chipset board instead .

Agreed on Mobo .....but ! when there is a word "future proof" then give the point to Z87 but if your never overclocking then no need at all of Z factor one.

The H87 doesn't support SLI as far as i know?! I could be wrong of course.

From the site where i will be buying the 4770k doesnt come with a boxed cooler

Not overclocking then no need of a water cooler just buy a after market good air cooler but if you really want your temps down even when not overclocked then hust buy a H80i nothing more needed and 21% is a night mare

You're damn right it is

The H80i was one of my first options IF i was going to buy a third party cooler. That's settled then i guess.
