Im here to make ask about if I need any more parts?
I have a mouse,monitor and keboard
I have a cooling system from a Hp Pavilion a6000 (Faans)
I am buying parts off the internet (Amazonuk) and just need to know do i need anthing else ?
Buying :

Gigabyte Z87-HD3 Motherboard
Intel Core i5 4440 Quad Core CPU
Asus GeForce GTX 660 DirectCU II OC Nvidia Graphics Card
CiT 600W 12cm Silent Fan Dual Rail Power Supply - Black Edition
Kingston Technology HyperX DDR3 1600MHz CL9 8GB

Will I need anthing else like a new cooling system or not ?

thats a haswell cpu so the psu will have issues with it as it doesnt support the higher c6 and c7 halt states, it also has very poor voltage protection.
its not even an 80+bronze so i recommend you buy something else like seasonic, antec or corsair 550w.
also no hdd listed nor dvd player/burner (you can get by with out 1 but only if your motherboard supports booting off usb to install windows.

You will need a CPU cooler. The fans alone won't do anything if you don't have a good CPU cooler. If you are planning on OC'ing, get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus. If not, you an order a stock fan from Intel.

you cant oc the 4400 its not a K part. so the stock cooler will be fine if he has reasonable case cooling.

sorry,I have a dvd player and a dvd writer (aka burner) and a 300 gb hdd
I was thinking of this power supply
Antec VP550F 550W 12cm Power Supply Unit EuP 80+
as it has a 2 year warranty so it must be fairl reliable

also is there even a point in oc a cpu ?

HEXiT · Dec 17, 2013

on that build there would be no point swapping to an oc enabled cpu.

Final build to be:

Gigabyte Z87-HD3 Motherboard
Intel Core i5 4440 Quad Core CPU
Asus GeForce GTX 660 DirectCU II OC Nvidia Graphics Card
Kingston Technology HyperX DDR3 1600MHz CL9 8GB
Antec VP550F 550W 12cm Power Supply Unit EuP 80+

as this pc will be used primarily for gaming is there anthing else that could/would be recommended? and is the pc above fine to use ?
