Reassurance on my build

partyboy690 · Mar 1, 2014

Hi guys I need some advice, could you let me know that this build is ok and if I'm missing anything obvious, except keyboard/mouse and monitor thanks!

Intel i5 4670k
8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3 1600MHz
Seagate Baracuda 7200rpm Sata 3 6Gb/s
Cooler Master HAF X
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 2GB
ASRock z87 Extreme 3
Corsair CD Series Modular CS750M 750W
Asus DVD Drive

Also will I need additional fans or will the case fans be enough? thanks!

You need an 8x series chipset, not a 7x. That mobo is not compatible.

Change your HDD to a WD caviar blue.

Otherwise it is fine, and the case is good.

Oh yeah actually my Mobo is an ASRock z87 Extreme 3 I forgot about that, is that a good enough Mobo? also the WD Caviar Blue, why is that better than a Seagate?

That mobo is fine.

Seagate has one of the highest failure rates while WD is one of the most reliable. The barracuda is one of the worst offenders also.

Ahh ok cheers, I appreciate that. Just one more question, do I need to get any additional fans? or is what I buy there enough?

That's a very good case line, I don't see a need to buy anymore. If you drop that much on a case and need to modify it more, there's a problem.

Excellent thank you, I really appreciate your input. I'm happy with this build so I'll go for it cheers!
