Hello everyone.
I decided to build a future-proof gaming PC and I have several questions.
CPU: [BX80646I74790] Intel® Core™ i7-4790 Processor
GPU: [N770 TF 2GD5/OC] MSI GeForce GTX 770 GAMING
RAM: [BLS8G3D1609DS1S00CEU] DDR3 Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB 1600MHz CL9 1.5V
Motherboard: [B85M-G] ASUS B85M-G
PSU: [RAIDER S 650 88+] FSP Group Raider S 650 650W 80 PLUS SILVER Certified
HDD: [ST1000VX000] Seagate SV35.6 Series ST1000VX000 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB
SSD: [MZ-7TE120BW] Samsung 840 Evo Basic 120GB SATA3, 540/410MBs, 7mm
Case: [NSE-300-KKN1] Cooler Master N300, Midi Tower
* I am from Lithuania and I will buy from here: http://www.skytech.lt/

1. Are all PC components compatible?
2. Is I7-4790 good enough to play newest demanding games (1080p, medium - high/ultra settings) for 10 years?
* I will upgrade my GPU after 5-6 years.
3. Should I buy a more expensive H87 motherboard? In my opinion, B85 is more than enough because I won't overclock, I don't need SLI/CrossFire and I will use only one HDD and one SSD.
4. Is the PSU I have chosen good as a budget PSU?
5. Is the I7-4790 stock cooler sufficient for gaming or do I need to buy an aftermarket cooler?

1: all parts are compatable
2: yes but not for the next 10 years, 5 years sure, 8 years if you get the i7 4790k and you overclock later
3: No, however if you follow my advice for number 2 you need a z97 mobo, and, a gpu will last 3-4 years for high/ max settings, i would recomend a crossfire compatable board just so you have that option open
4: the psu looks ok, but it isnt a big brand name, and a psu isnt an iten you should cheap out on because if it fails, it has the highest chance of destroying everything else in the system with it. I would recoment going with a Corsiar (NON CX), Evga, Thermalake, Coolmaster, Antex, or Roswell PSU
5: The stock cooler is ALWAYS sufficent IF you are not overclocking, otherwise you need an aftermearket...

For 10 years, it will be difficult for the 4790 to keep up. Get a 4930k 6-core if you want more life out of your CPU, but even that would go obsolete in about 5 years. As for the PSU, the FSP Group Raider is trash. Get a SeaSonic, XFX, Antec, or Corsair AX.

I am planning to use GTX 770 successor (I guess it will be GTX 870).

Thank you for your suggestion but I still prefer to use a single GPU. :)

I have also searched for another PSU for the similar price of FSP Raider. :) Which do you think I should choose?

  • THERMALTAKE Smart 630W 80PLUS [SP-630PCWEU]
    THERMALTAKE Smart SE 630W 80+ Bronze Modullar [SPS-630MPCBEU]
    Seasonic M12II-EVO620 620W 80 Plus Bronze retail [M12II-EVO620]
    Cooler Master B600 600W, active PFC [RS600-ACABD3-E1]
    Cooler master THUNDER M series 620W [RS620-AMCBM3-EU]
    Cooler Master power supply ATX G600, 600W [RS600-ACAAB1-EU]
    Corsair VS 650W [CP-9020051-EU]
I guess Seasonic is the best. However, it's not "Haswell Ready". Does it mean that it's not compatible with I7-4790?

Seasonic M12II-EVO620 620W 80 Plus Bronze retail [M12II-EVO620]

Most power supplies have issues with sleep state C6/C7 so it is not a big deal

I like Samsung monitors but Asus, BENQ and Viewsonics are good too. What size are you going for? 21.5 to 31.5 inches
