I just assembled a configuration with several different hardware components.
I would really appreciate if someone could tell me if something doesn't fit or if there is something which won't go with another because i am new to custom built pc's, or if all the components will fit in the case or not and if i need anything more to get the PC to work:
CPU:Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz
Motherboard:MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING
RAM:TridentX 2x8 GB DDR3-1866MHz CL8
GPU:Asus GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3 GB
SSD:Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB
HDD:Western Digital Blue 1 TB Desktop Drive
CPU Air Cooler:Noctua NH-D14
Case:CM Storm Scout 2 Advanced
PSU:XFX Core Edition Pro 750W
Various:Asus DRW-24B1ST
OS Version:Windows Pro 8.1 64 bits

You did a pretty good job at selecting the components.
One thing i noticed is you didn't add any CPU cooler. If you want to overclock or have high ambient temperatures in your are, then you might want to add one.

If i really want to change something, it will be RAM.
I would go for a better set of RAM, something like TridentX 1866Mhz C8
The improvement won't make any huge difference but would be wise.

GPU, you can't go wrong with MSI but i would also recommend you to take a look at Asus DCUII GTX 780

Kudos for going for a Hybrid!
Happy Gaming :)

Thanks So Much!!

I will look in a CPU cooler and maybe change the ram.
Do you think all the components will fit in the case and will i need to buy anything else to get the PC to work?
And is the Asus DCUII GTX 780 any better than the MSI GTX 780?

For moderate video editing and heavy gaming - 16GB DDR3-1866Mhz CL9 or CL8 is just more than enough.

I am using Asus VX248H for display and my keyboard is Steelseries Merc Stealth. It's a pretty old keyboard and i am considering a Blackwidow Ultimate.
You choice of keyboard would depend, what do you like? Mechanical, Rubber Dome or low profile keys?

Thanks For Your Attention!!

I prefer low profile keys, do u think the Asus VX248H would be good for me or is there a better alternative?
The same goes for the blackwidow ultimate, is it good enough or is there a better alternative?

Asus VX248H would be my choice. I was considering a monitor to buy within this week, and that is the one i am buying.
There are some BenQ monitors in the same range but some people complained about color bleeding in them.

As far as Keyboard is concerned, i wouldn't really suggest you Blackwidow Ultimate, it is kind of fanboy's choice...

For low profile keys though - Razer Deathstalker or Tt eSPORTS CHALLENGER Pro is what you want

Cheers :)
