hi,

I want to build a good gaming system, and found this deal on dabs.com
http://www.dabs.com/products/asus-intel-z97-gamer-bundle--includes-z97-k--intel-core-i5-4690k---8gb-vengeance-pro-black-memory--9MBT.html?src=2

it also comes with free copy of watchdogs game :D

heres the rest of the planned build

SSD: Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB 2.5" SSD
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB Superclocked ACX
Cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid

Case / PSU : undecided, any reccomendations?

Is the deal worth buying?

Unless OP has stated in going for a multi GPU configuration as time goes on, the suggestion for a 750W PSU is completely overkill. A reliable 550W~650W gold rated PSU is more than ideal for even an overclocked system.

Here is a revised suggestion;
Case:
Corsair 200R
Corsair 300R
Corsair 230T Grey
Corsair 230T Orange

PSU:
Antec EA-650 Platinum
Seasonic 660XP2

Perhaps if you could suggest an absolute budget, we would be able to piece together a better system for the amount ie bang for the buck range of system.

If possible, invisibloom please provide any and/or all additional data following this thread...
