Hey all! I'm currently doing a lot of research into a new system while I'm away with work.
Just had a few questions on choice of psu and cooling for my build, quite new to this as I normally just buy gaming laptops for travelling, so please bare with me
Specs.
I5 4670k
Asus Z87-Pro
Gskill Ripjaw 1866 8GB
Evga Gtx 780 Classified - will be on a 1080p asus widescreen
SanDisk SSD 256GB
Ok, I've still got loads left to buy and that's where my questions come from; what PSU rating should I get? I'm considering a XFX pro850 core edition. XFX P1-850S-NLB9 PRO850W Core Edition Power Supply
I will try and over clock when it's all together (first time trying!) and am considering a Corsair H75 for cooling, I want the i5 to be around 4.4 stable, so will this suffice? Corsair H75
Misc stuff:
Case will be a Corsair Carbide 300R. Plenty of room for an air cooler I know, just don't know about the head room for the RAM.
I'll have max fans I can in the case, Arctic F12 120mm all around probably, even considering a fan controller (maybe lol)
Mx-4 Compound, have read good things about that.
I will have a 2tb WD too, for files.
Considering an extra SSD for Raid, is that worth it?
Budget, well, not looking to skimp really as I've been able to make a few savings as it is.
Location is UK. Looking to build around middle of June when I'm in the UK.
Any considerations welcome!!
