- Intel I7 4770K

- wd black sata3 hdd
- Corsaur RM 750 PSU
- 1866 16 gig gskill sniper ram

Thanks all :)

Looks good, right after my own Haswell, your PSU is a bit of overkill a good 600 (with 42 AMPs on the 12 volt will suffice), might look at the Corsiar TX if you prefer Corsair, else look to SeaSonic, XFX, EVGA or the like. Will prob want a good CPU cooler, the Hyper 212 EVO will be plenty for OCing through 4.4-4.5 unless running 24/7 if doing that or planning a higher OC would look at a Phantek or I went to the CM GTS V8

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your replies, i have had the same old PC for the last 5 or 6 years and it's on the way out. I will mainly use it for gaming, movies and general use. I am going to use my LED Samsung 55inch as the monitor. Would this be a problem, will i lose out on these products using a TV? Also do i need any additional cooling and lastly is 750 watts okay?

Thanks heaps !!
