I need some help, because im an newbie in pc building.. I have gathered some information from internet and this is what my build looks like right now:



PSU: Corsair 550W VS550M ATX
RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) Vengeance DDR3, 1600MHz, 9-9-9-24, 1.5V 90YV04L2-M0NA00
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 DC2OC 2GB GDDR5, 2xDVI/HDMI/DP, PCI-E 3.0
BX80646I54670K
CPU: Intel Haswell i5-4670K, LGA1150, 3.4GHz, 6MB
Cooler: Hyper 212 EVO
Optical drive: DRW-24F1ST
HDD: 1TB Barracuda, 3.5", Sata3, 7200rpm, 64MB
MOBO: MSI Z87-G43 Gaming, LGA1150, Intel Z87, DDR3, ATX

My budget is around 800€, and im trying to make it as good gaming pc as possible. Only for gaming and streaming. Are these components good or should i change some of them? Does they work with each other? I would be pleased, if someone could give me some advices!

If you w'ont overclock drop the evo 212. It's prerty hard to install for first time builders. Also i would change the barracuda to a western digital blue. Where i live they're way cheaper and they're good. With your saving you might be able to push the limit of your budget and get a gtx770. Otherwise maybe an ssd. Or upgrade the motherboard to the z97 series because they will be compatible with the next gen of cpu's. That's what i'm going to do :)  also i see you live in europe so that makes it easier because i use euros to.
Back to topic.
The system you have now have surely is compatible but i'm just not sure about the 550W. You can find wattage calculators for it. Just google it.

yes everything seems right, the psu is ok you wont need more power for the cpu or the gpu than that and is also a corsair psu and they have excellent build quality and durability, the mobo is the right one for your cpu and it is oc capable. 8gbs is the sweat spot for ram but i have to say something.

Why go for the gtx 760 when you can get the r9 280 for the same price and it is better here is a video that prove it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qim-asQrT_Y

i wont say is destroy the gtx 760 but it really beat it.

But overall this build is more than ok and the budget is ok.

I hope it helped you :D

Also very important: make sure your gpu and cpu cooler fit in your case! Because the evo 212 is really high. Also sometging i forgot to mention is that if you will not overclock drop the k series! Go for an i5-4690 instead. It's cheaper and faster rightout of the box.

Here where I live, the pc components are pretty expensive, and if i order them form another country, the sipping cost becomes damn expensive..

So do you mean, that I dont even need CPU cooler, if I dont overclock my CPU? I changed that HDD to Western Blue, but I think that GTX 770 is still too expensive.. What do you mean about that z97 is for next gen, and does z97 model still work with my other components? Is that GTX 770 so much better than GTX 760? And what does SSD help? Sorry for asking so much. :'D

dont pay a premium for the gtx 770, for 1080p the gtx 760 is more than ok but as i said you can buy the r9 280 and the performance is really close to a gtx 770.

So this GPU is better than GTX 760?= Asus AMD R9 280 DirectCU II, 3GB GDDR5, 2x DVI/HDMI/DP, PCI-E 3.0

Yes much better, more than 2times better. It betas the hell out of 780! So 760 doesn't stand a chance. If u do not want to O.C,then change the CPU to i5-4570. And yes, u would definitely need a cpu cooler even if you do not plan to O.C.

The R9 290 i posted does not uses the reference cooler. So, it's better and it's price to performance ratio is way too good.

So this is my current build, what do you guys think:

GPU: 2048MB MSI GeForce GTX 770 Twin Frozr
HDD: 1000GB WD AV-GP Serie WD10EURX 64MB
COOLER: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo Tower Kühler
MOBO: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Intel Z87 So.1150 Dual
PSU: 650 Watt Corsair VS Series Non-Modular
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K 4x 3.40GHz So.1150 BOX
RAM: 2x4gb Corsair Vengeance Black 1600mhz
OPT: LG Electronics GH24NSB0 DVD-RW SATA intern
CASE: NZXT H440

Does that MOBO fit to every components? Does these components fit to NZXT H440 case?

Well the motherboard supports everything but again i recommend going with the z97 chipset mobo. Where i live it's only €5 more expensive then the z87. And also it is just the same as the z87 it is just going to support the newer cpu's. It's just a little bit more futureproof. And the case i don't know. You can check it yourself just search the gpu's lenght and the max lenght the case supports. The rest is fine!

Again, change the PSU to a TX650/Seasonic 620W. Avoid the VS series.
Would also recommend you to get a Z97 chipset so as to get the advantage of using Broadwell cpu's in future.
