Good day!

Im about to buy my chosen components:

i7-4770k
MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming
Gskill Ripjaws X 8gb 4gbx2 DDR3 2133
Seasonic X750 80+ Gold


Can anyone comment out their suggestions regarding my chosen components?
Also, im considering Asus Maximus Hero as my mobo, can you give me idea what to choose between asus and Msi mobo?


NOTE: I already bought CM Cosmos 2 as my case.

I will be using my system for high end gaming, Photoshop and maybe video editing in the future. Do I really need to buy "K" series proc for all these task? or i7 4770 maybe enough?

Also, im considering to buy GTX 770. I chose Nvidia because I read that AMD cards runs hotter and more power to consume than Nvidia cards.

This is my first time build so I deeply need your suggestions. All of your suggestions are big help for me and Thanks in advance :)

Hi,
-If you don't like to bother with overclocking and aftermarket cooling solutions, get i7 4770(non K) and H87 or B85 motherboard
-GTX 770 will run all games on ultra at 1080p. It is pretty good GPU
-As i said before if you go with i7 4770 (non K) no need for Maximus Hero

@maurelie

When do we really need to OC the processor? was overclocked i5 4670k greater than i7 4770 in performance?


Also, i really want to build a system with a long term upgrade and future proof. is it worth it to get the i7 4770k?

I can tell you form my personal experience, using my 3 year old and locked i7 2600 is still Tier 1 CPU.
Overclocked i5 4670k will still be slower than stock i7 4770 in photoshop, video editing/rendering.
i7 4770 is enough
