Hello there,

Well i have done a private custom build and I am looking for some recommendations for motherboard and power supply unit and improvements, thanks in advance buddies.

The build:
AMD FX 9370
GTX 780 Ti (I will appreciate if someone puts a good company for the following GPU)
Antec One case
Cooler master 212 EVO
1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB
16GB Ram Corsair Vengenance Red

Again what is missing in the list is motherboard and a power supply as I don't know what to pick..
Lately, I saw a build with MSI ATX DDR3 LGA 1150 Gaming Motherboards Z87-G45
Mobo I don't know if it's good or not..

and I need someone to confirm that the CPU that I'm using in the build is better than i5 4670k.

Thanks guys

I would drop down to an 8350. The 9370 is not worth the extra price, and you can overclock the 8350 to the same performance if you want to.

FX 8350 and i5 4670K will perform equally in most tasks, the Intel will win in single threaded, but most programs now are using multiple threads anyway.

Does this look similar to your build?

I changed the case, the Antec One is not big enough for most GTX 780Ti
