I've been researching and choosing parts for a new gaming rig for quite some time now, and this is what i've come up with:
CPU: i5 4670k - 240$
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 770 - 330$
RAM: Kingston HyperX 8GB - 70$
MB: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H - 145$
SSD: Crucial M500 120GB - 75$
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB - 65$
PSU: Seasonic G-550 - 85$
Case: Fractal Design Define R4 - 100$
CPU Cooler: CM Hyper 212 EVO - 35$
All in all, around 1150$
The prices are from newegg. I will actually be buying it from http://www.digitec.ch in Switzerland, but the prices are similar (maybe ~30$ more expensive in Switzerland), so i used the ones from newegg. Now, what do you think about the PC?
My biggest concern is the PSU, i am worried that 550W won't be enough for the system. The only ok PSUs avaiable in Switzerland, on the website that i will order from (which everyone recommends) that have similar wattage and price as the G-550 are the Corsair CX600M and RM650. I am not sure about getting a CX PSU, and i know very little about the Corsair RM. Is the RM as realiable as the Seasonic Gold, and, is there any need to get something more than a good 550W PSU for this PC (Linus powered a 780 and a 4770K with it, so i probably don't need to worry about it, but i wanted a couple more opinions on it, just to be safe)
Also, is the motherboard as reliable as the oh so popular Asus Z87-A? The biggest reason i wanted to get the D3H is because it will fit nicely with the color scheme of the PC, which might be a pretty stupid reason, but, hey, if the MB is good, why not?
