Hey all,

Taking plunge and building first ever PC (a lot of spec based on reading through these forums):
Intel Core i5-4670K
Asus Z87 PRO mobo (got these bundled)
Corsair 750W CX Bronze PSU
Corsair 600T Graphite case
Corsair 1866 2x4GB Vengeance low profile
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Asus PB278Q Monitor

Not decided on graphics card yet - going to put this lot together first - anything in there that isn't going to work?

Solution
The CX units are made with low quality capacitors that fail easily.

For the GPU you are looking at either an r9 280x or a gtx770. Both are great and perform about the same.
