Hello all,

I want a new PC that I will mainly use for gaming and I hope you guys can advise me because I dont know which components to pick.

I do know I want a 4770K CPU but I dont know which motherboard to pick but I do prefer ASUS as I Always had good experience with it.
Features as USB 2 and 3 are welcome but I dont need complicated RAID support or WIFI for example. I think the basic features will do but I do want a high quality board thats very suitable for a game build with good performance and overclocking possibilities.
Can you guys recommend anything?

I also need a good CPU cooler.
I would like an air cooler that does a very good job keeping things cool with a low noise level (because my PC is located in the living room).
Whats the best I can get for a CPU cooler?

Can you guys also recommend good quality RAM? I think I will go for 16GB. Perhaps its overkill for gaming but it might come in handy as I will do some video editting also.
What brand, speed/timing should I look for. Is Corsair dominator worth the money or is there better around?

Of course I need a case.
Again I would like a reasonable silent case but I also like to keep things cool so it has to have very good airflow. As its located in my living room I want something decent looking with no window or to much neon lights and stuff.
USB on front would be very nice and I really want fust filters that can easaly be removed and cleaned. Good design is also importent. I like things like good cable management and tool les installations of bays and stuff. Any recommendations.

I guess thats about it. I Will be using my GTX 680 I already own and for PSU Im pretty sure I will go for a Seasonic G or X series. SSD will be a Samsung and I will take 2 extra plain HDD's for video projects.

Hope you guys can advise a decent build.

Thanks in advance.
Lanzia
