Ok that's all. Please let me know what you think about it, what would you change, what's wrong etc.
Thank you ^^

Awesome setup. Good to see not everybody likes to waste money overclocking. My biggest complaint is the ssd. You should pay $4 more and get the Crucial M500 120GB for $73. It's one of the most reliable ssds on the market. You could save the $4 back by getting G.Skill Ares 2x4GB 1600mhz RAM for $68.99.


Oh yeah you don't really NEED an after market cooler. The stock one would be fine.
That RAM is perfectly fine, and will perform 100% exactly as well as G Skill will at 1.5v 1600 CAS9. Overspending on RAM is pointless, and offers negligible gains, if any at all.

Not sure how much that CPU cooler costs, but you definitely don't need a big tower one like that for a locked CPU. If you want an aftermarket one for less noise, you can get those for $10-$20.

You will get max settings in any game at 1080p (save for some like Crysis 3) :)

Well that cooler costs 31 dolars, but in our country it is very expensive :/ On another forum I've been told that I shouldn't buy any aftermarket cooler, because the box one will run even more quieter than Msi GTX 770. So I don't really know what to do.

I have nearly an identical set up I built a few weeks back. Performance is above and beyond, but no cpu overclocking here :(

Still, I think the 770 and the 4570 go together like peas in a pod, friend.

Yeah I needed up buying a coolermaster tx3, and it dropped my temps from 80-85 to 50-55 (max). For $25 I couldn't complain. I have corsiar vengeance, but don't think it performs any differently than a lesser brand. I'm also waiting to get a 120 gig ssd as well, but I'm going to spend the extra 10-20 to get the samsung. Also soon I will be buying some bitfenix cable extenders to clean up the case and look totally badass. Those with some red leds will make this rig beautiful.

As I said I will buy it from my local store. Unfortunately prices are here a lot bigger. But the difference between that two ssd is like 7 dolars so I will go for the Crucial M500..


Anyway guys thank you alot :)
