Hey everyone,

would this be a good build?
there's no need for more RAM as many of you will probably suggest that.
I also won't be oc'en in the near future, maybe later when the system starts to fall behind.
I'm planning to buy an extra cooler then, IF i start oc'en.

Rig:

*CASE: Corsair Carbide 200R
*MOBO: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
*CPU: i7 4770K 3.5ghz with boxed cooler
*GPU: 2 x MSI N770 TF 2GD5/OC GTX770 SLI (2 x 2gb)
--> The GPU is a no-brainer for me, i'm buying this gpu no matter what.
*RAM: 8gb Crucial Ballistix 1600mhz DDR3
*HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 1TB
*SSD: Crucial M500 Serie 120GB
*PSU: Aerocool Strike-X 80 PLUS Gold 1100W

This is a rig for a friend.
It should be pretty future-proof.
As i won't be overclocking, i THINK i don't need extra fans. the case has 2 120mm fans and the GPU comes with 2 fans/card so 4 in total and plus the CPU fan and the integrated fan in the PSU we're talking 8 fans... Enough?

Total cost = 1658,60 euros, shipping included.
REMEMBER: in my country taxes are 21% wich is a total nightmare, that is of course also already included.

Thanks

For cooling you want to get an aftermarket cooler for the CPU, maybe a cm 212EVO, its better than the stock intel.
I supose you have a case fan, like in the side panel.
You can then have one at the...

First thing, that 8gb ram it is 2x4gb right? It 2sticks are much faster becouse they will run in dual channel.

AEROCOOL are TIER 5 PSU acording to the list i have based myself on, aerocool are a bad manufactur, be sure that that exact model is of a good quality, even tough it says 80+ certified, honestly i would not trust a brand that usuualy puts out bad PSU's i would pick a safer PSU.

You can then have one at the back pulling air out of the case, this will probably be pulling the hot air that the CPU Cooler generats.
