buildin a Gaming rig

allenvi · May 6, 2014

Im planning to build a gaming rig and this is what i came up to

INTEL CORE I5-4670K
ASUS Z87-A
ASUS GTX760 2GB DDR5 256BIT (GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5)
ANTEC EA-550W 550W 80+ PLATINUM
WESTERN DIGITAL 1TB BLACK 3.5" SATA (WD1002FAEX)
GSKILL RIPJAWS 8GB (F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL)
AEROCOOL STRIKE X GT RED USB3.0

Are they all compatible? any comments and suggestions are much appreciated. thanks!

Yeah that should work fine, I wouldn't spend more for a platinum PSU unless its a very good deal. Something like the XFX 550 watt PSU is a high quality affordable unit.

Looks good! Might think about kicking the DRAM up to 1866/9, haswell likes fast DRAM

On a price to performance basis, I'd go the 2133/9, the RJs are strong sticks and should easily run 2400/10, haven't had any yet that couldn't go up the one full step, many will run 2666/11 even

Okay Thanks for the help Tradesman1! ill buy the 2133 sticks.
