If you can afford it get a Samsung 840 EVO SSD, go for a Corsair H100i or H105 rather than that Kraken, if you are set on using a Kraken it will be better than the stock fan, here is a PSU http://us.ncix.com/products/?usaffiliateid=1000031504&s...

Other than that looks pretty solid

For the SSD are you saying use it for everything or just for something like the OS
because with recording and gaming and such the SSD will get torn up (Some guy said with recording I will tear up an SSD and make it slower) I also don't think I might be able to afford it.

I am sticking to saying get an SSD, at least a 120GB for the OS and commonly used programs/games.

Yeah I'd go with a 4770k and a 780(Ti if poss) rather than a 4930k and a 770.

As for a PSU I'd say you'd be good with a 750W. A good 80+ Gold Fully Modular is the EVGA Supernova NEX.

i d prefer i7 4770 and GTX 780


Would you prefer because of money (is it cheaper or somthing?) or better performance? I just want to hear your opinion please.

The GPU he is asking you to get is quite a bit better(And quite a bit more expensive). But the CPU is not better than yours, your's has more cores, more threads, more cache and is just all around better than that Haswell(Hotwell hehe). But a 780(Ti) would be a good choice if you can afford it, or just SLI 2 770's.

tests show that 6 core/12 thread processors of Intel ,like that one, make no difference in gaming , compared to i7 4770

No they are the same in clock speed but one has 4GB of VRAM, which I recommend. Go with the Zotac though, better and cheaper than that 4GB card: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DT5UE7M/?tag=pcpapi-20

Sure, the Zotac has higher stock core and memory clocks, and is the best overclocking GTX 770, so you can get the most out of it out of the box and in overclocking!

So when you say it has a higher stock core that is the same as how fast the core right? sorry im new to this

Yes the higher the core speed the better the performance of the card, same goes for memory speed.

Okay thanks good to know (I knew the faster the better though :D ) Okay one more thing if its better why is it cheaper? lol

You are paying for the EVGA name, and Zotac has been known to be a bit more bang for your buck sort of company, while EVGA likes to OC their cards a bit more each time and jack up the price and throw a fancy paintjob/stickers on the card. Haha, but the Zotac is a great card, get a nice PSU and maybe one day you can add another 770 and SLI, then you will be faster than a GTX Titan/780Ti.
