HDD: Changed to WD Blue 1 TB, WD Black isn't worth it in my opinion as you already have a SSD for very fast operation. WD Blue isn't terrible slow either compare to Black.
PSU: Changed to Antec HCG-620M, cheaper and not that you need the wattage, but it's the cheapest good PSU I can find.

Uhh, Blacks and Blues have the same speed, but Blacks have a better warranty, and thus a better lifespan.

logainofhades · Mar 24, 2014

This is far better for roughly same amount.

They have the exact same specs, but still different in performance. Although not by a huge amount.

Yes, I do agree that Black has longer warranty, and that I think it's not a good idea to purchase them.

thx man this help out alot i click tha wrong thing i meant to make this tha best answer sorry

logainofhades · Mar 24, 2014

More money was spent in certain parts of the build than was necessary. Hence why my build had a GTX 780 vs a 770.

IDontUnderstand · Mar 24, 2014

Eh, it looked like he was aiming for some nice overclocking with a nice board, cooler, and higher frequency RAM.

thechaz333 · Mar 24, 2014

yea i want to over clock and in tha build there somethings that i wouldn't change like motherboard ,gpu and cpu ,cpu cooler and case are all tha thing that i really like and i research alot i wanted tha http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487003&clickid=wsiyoUSlH3BFWFgQmNxJi3I9UkTTGbztUxF50s0&iradid=97618&ircid=2106&irpid=79301&nm_mc=AFC-IR&cm_mmc=AFC-IR-_-na-_-na-_-na
instead of tha tgx 770 but i dont want to save for one more month or do u think i should i wait
i want this comp to stream game to twitch.tv and play titian fall , league and alot of games

logainofhades · Mar 25, 2014

Overclocking to the extreme won't do you much for games compared to a far better GPU.

My build still will overclock decently, though. A mild to mid level overclock with a GTX 780 will game better than an extreme overclock with a 770. GPU matters more. Intel doesn't gain much from higher frequency ram. Only reason I have it was it was on sale for less than 1600 kits.

IDontUnderstand · Mar 25, 2014

I agree with most of your point as before, but I do think that higher frequency RAM tend to be higher quality and most likely have been overclocked. That would matter in overclocking when you mess with NB multiplier. What do you think?

logainofhades · Mar 25, 2014

Ram quality is good as long as it is from a reputable company, regardless of speed. You don't mess with any multiplier but the CPU multiplier with Intel now.

IDontUnderstand · Mar 25, 2014

Doesn't NB frequency relates to how fast the data transfers on the motherboard? Like the transfer speed of RAM/SSD/GPU to the CPU and vice versa.

logainofhades · Mar 25, 2014

Memory controller is on the CPU now. I don't think Intel uses a northbridge anymore.

IDontUnderstand · Mar 25, 2014

Interesting, I will go check that out when I can get my hands on a Z87 motherboard. Thanks.
