Hello Everyone!,

I´m planning a build which I will be buying next week, here are the components:

-I5 4590
-GTX 770
-CX600
-4GB (1x4GB) G.Skill Ripjaws X Series @1866mhz ( I will upgrade to 8 later on)
-MSI H81M-E35 V2 or an Asrock H81M ITX if i decide to go ITX.

Already have a 1TB WD HDD and a cardboard box. lol (temporary solution).

Power Supply: XFX 650W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($49.99 @ NCIX US)

Are if you're getting an i5-4590 there is no need for an H60. Also instead of dropping the GPU to a 760, why not drop the CPU to a 4670.

What is your budget for CPU, GPU, PSU, RAM and mobo?

So you recommend 2x2gb?

The only h60 that I know of is the Corsair water cooling system (so I don't know what you are substituting it for here).

As far as the video card goes, I really like the 770. If budget is a big concern, you can downgrade - but I would tend to go for the 750 Ti instead. Admittedly, you have to replace it if you want to upgrade your GPU - it doesn't support SLI.

I would be replacing the 770 for a GTX 760, Corsair H60 and 8 gigs of ram instead of 4.
