Hey guys, I'm a computer newb and have recently decided to make my own pc. I am relatively confident in my build but figured I should check first.
This is what I am ordering:

  • G-Skill 8GB Ripjaws X DDR3 2133 Dual Kit
    Antec VP550F 550W 12cm Power Supply Unit EuP 80+
    Intel 3rd Generation Core i5-3570K CPU (Socket 1155)
    Arctic Cooling MX-4 4g Thermal Compound
    Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (120mm)
    Asus P8H77-V Motherboard (Socket 1155, 32GB DDR3 Support, ATX, Intel H77 Express, Quad GPU AMD CrossfireX Support, PCI Express 3.0, USB 3.0 Boost)
    Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 DirectCU II OC 2GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
    Western Digital 1TB internal Hard Drive - Caviar Blue (3.5 inch)
    Microsoft Windows 8 Standard 64 bit OEM
    Corsair Carbide 200R Compact ATX Case - Black
    LiteOn IHAS124-04 24x SATA Half Height Internal DVDRW Drive

Any problems or improvements? This fills my whole budget

4670k and z87 make the build too expensive for me.
Why should I downgrade the RAM? The 2133 is cheaper than the 1600 version where I am buying from.
Thanks for pointing out the half height dvd drive, do you have any suggestions for a full one. I wont be using it much.
Thanks

You can do SOME overclocking but nothing close to what you can with a z77

I also agree with edit* Outlander (was reading names too fast sorry riess), but if you want to go the cheaper route with the 3570k I don't blame you, since it overclocks better anyway.
