Hey all, thank you in advance for your time!

i'm looking to build my first gaming pc in a while and would like to ask advice re: specific part choices and compatibility.

so far i have selected:

Thermaltake Tough Power Gold 850W 80 Plus

Thermaltake Black Chaser A71 Full Tower Chassis

Intel Core i7 4770K LGA1150 CPU 3.5Ghz

Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz Vengeance Pro

Gigabyte GTX 780 OC EDITION PCI-E 3.0 3GB 256-bit DDR5

Samsung 250GB SSD 840 EVO SATA III

Intel BOXDZ87KLT75K LGA1150 ATX Motherboard

Should i be including water cooling for CPU in this rig, the Chaser looks like has a billion and one fans, but i am aware heat still happens…

thoughts please. :)

First, drop your current PSU. I strongly recommend getting one from Seasonic, XFX, Corsair (except their CX series) or Antec. Second, if this is purely a gaming rig, there is no need to get an i7, get the i5 4670K instead. Third, if you plan on overclocking, you will need either an air or liquid aftermarket cooler. Fourth, why in the world are you getting 16 GB RAM? * GB RAM is more than sufficient for gaming. Fifth, you will need more storage than just a SSD. I assume you already have a keyboard, mouse, monitor and OS since they are not listed?
