Hi, this is my first build and I need your opinion. I want to make sure this is a decent build. My main concern is on my Mobo and cpu cooler.

Great build , the board is a perfect fit , but get low profile ram to avoid issues with the EVO cooler.

Good build, and the fan (or fans, you can add a second one) are height adjustable so no problem w/ DRAM (have 32GB of 2400 Tridents under a EVO on a 4.7 3570K and runs nice and cool ;)

Thank you! What's your suggestion for the cooler. corsair h100i? or noctua nh-d14?

It's a good build, but you're going a lot heavier on the CPU than you are on the 760. I just want to make sure you understand that the GTX 760 will hit its limit a long time before the i7-4770K or the RAM does.

I can't get the same board to post with my 4690k, I think it is a bios issue. I would look into that first
