Hello, I am new to toms hardware and want to build a gaming pc which will be able to handle the best of games at high performance levels NOW and for at least 3 yrs+/-!

So the specs would be:

CPU: i7-4770K vs i5-4670 [im not gonna use overclocking, but who will perfom better in future]
MB: ASRock Z87M Exrtreme4 <---[not sure about mobo - is it ok?]
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX780, 3GB, GDDR5, DirectCU II OC
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Blue, 8GB, DDR3, 1600MHz, CL9, Kit of 2 [i need that memory is 1.5V.?]
PSU: Be Quiet Dark Rock 2, CPU Cooler vs Cooler master Hyper 212 Evo
HDD: 1TB, Western Digital, 7200rpm, 64MB, Sata III,
Case: Is there smth i should know about the special case if i build high-end pc?

And is there something U can suggest for me, please!

The i5-4670 is good enough if your main goal is to game. i7 is more for multitasking and intense video edits and such. Why did you list your CPU cooler under PSU? Power Supply Unit. Also, you don't necessarily need a CPU cooler if you're not overclocking.. but if you want to it won't hurt. You should also invest in SSD and download your OS and main games on it. It will run quickly and smoothly compare to putting them in your hard drive. The case, look for a case with good ventilation and big enough to fit all your parts in without jamming them in.

I recommend about 750w just to be safe. The stock cooler that comes with your CPU purchase will be sufficient enough if you're not OCing but yeah it doesn't hurt to get one I guess. CM hyper 212 evo is good and affordable~

Yes it can. Also, it was beta so I don't really trust it yet but it was a pretty good 50-60 fps on Ultra. You can also check on "can I run it", this build will handle pretty much any games that came out the past 12 month and able to handle future games as well.

CPU: 4670k, Id just say get an unlocked one as if you want to overclock in the future, you might regret it. As stated above, a Hyper 212 Evo if you can, cooler temps and more slient.

Mobo: Should be fine, its mATX though, so I'd recommend the GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-UD3H.

GPU: Its fine, but look out for the R9 290X though.

CPU Cooler: I'd personally get the Evo in your case, and maybe upgrade later?

PSU: I'd say a 500w - 600w is more than efficient, as you are using 1 GPU. Perhaps a SeaSonic Mi2ii? I have this in my current system, semi-modular and pretty great.

Case: I'd recommend a Define R4 w/ Window, but a Define Arc Midi R2 is also pretty great. Corsair also has some great cases.

RAM: Your RAM kit is fine, and as long as your ram is under 1.65v, your fine. 1.5v is the intel RECOMMENDED standard, however I run mine at the stock 1.65v at its fine.

Storage: Fine, but I'd recommend picking up an SSD, such as the Samsung 840 EVO series, or the PRO series perhaps, depending on your needs.

And yes, should be able to play BF4 at Ultra (70-80 FPS), and GTA (??? FPS).

the i5 will get the job done but if you want a cpu that will be on the top of many games for years to come get the i7

the mobo is perfect

get the hyper evo 212 for cooler cpu temps

get a 750 watt plus 80 bronze at least for your psu

the HDD is fine but if you want the best get an SSD for your storage theyre a lot faster itll cut your load times by a lot but theyre very expensive

for the case you will want a full size case to fit your gpu and good cable management try the HAF X or the Azza hurrican 2000r

OK, thanks, and what did u think about his? ---> GPU: Its fine, but look out for the R9 290X though.? I don't get it?
And im gonna take the middle way - 600W :) also change the mobo to GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-UD3H!

And it looks like if i take i7 it gets me these 3yrs+ with high performance games or its jus i5 enough?

The new AMD R9 290X GPU came out, and it basically the same performance as a GTX 780, for 550 though.

Also the i5 is just fine.
