NormH · Jan 13, 2014

I am building a new PC in a few weeks and wanted a few thoughts. i mostly play WoW, Rift, Sniper: ghost warrior but was going too start BF4 soon. will also use the pc for school ( mostly online courses). no video editing or anything major for school just bachelors in psychology.

What's your budget?
And i would recommend to bring down that memory to 8 gb(4x2) and get a 770.

It's a respectable build. Good choice on the CPU and cooler. It would help if we knew your budget. The only things I would change:

You don't need 16GB RAM for gaming. 8GB is more than enough.

I would go with a 770 instead. Fairly big jump from a 760 and better match for your CPU.

I would go with this:

And maybe MSI Z87-G45 + cooler. But i would buy cooler in 2 years with a new graphics card.

NormH :

Bring down your RAM to 8GB and go for a 770 as i mentioned earlier.
It will serve you well.

puts me a touch over 1k unless i drop the ssd and add it later.

NormH :

You can do that.

found a way to get everything i want into my budget by waiting to add an ssd later. dropping that i can get the 770, a 2tb hdd, and keep the 16gb for future proofing as well as multi-tab functions as i will be researching while attending online class in a stream-like format.
