Hey guys,


I have enough money to get a decent gaming PC and I just want to make sure that these components are all compatible and will work fine/fit nicely.
Here's the list http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/4wtPQ7
Also, is the PSU to big for the build (I think it is) should I downgrade to a 750w?
Regards.

That PSU is overkill, and if you plan on overclocking get an aftermarket cooler like a Noctua-D14.

You could also go for a Z97 board over a Z87 as you'll have the chance to upgrade to a broadwell i5 when they release :)

Thanks for the replies guys. Will have a look into some 650/700w PSUs before ordering all my parts. Thanks again for all the help :D
@Byte I was going to get a 4690k but I thought it was pretty needless as I could OC the 4670k to the same near about.

Go with a Seasonic 620W power supply or an XFX 750W/650W power supply.
