Hello All!!!,

I have finished researching this build and I would like to know a few things, firstly can someone please tell me approximately how well this will run modern games (Arma III and BF4), secondly can someone recommend a good monitor for under $180, and lastly any feedback about changing parts and things like that.

Build :
CPU - i5 4690k ( I am going to overclock )
CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i
GPU - EVGA GTX 770 Dual Classified SC 4GB Edition
PSU - Corsair RM1000 Fully Modular
MB - Asus Maximus VII Hero
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LP 2x8gb memory
SSD - Samsung 840 EVO 120gb
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 2tb
DVD - Samsung DVD Drive
Case - NZXT Phantom 530
OS - Windows 7 Home Professional

That computer should beast any new games out at the moment, and for years to come too. I have a similar build but with a 2gb GPU and i'm playing most new titles at full res+graphics. Struggled with full settings on archeage but i'm not too bothered about that.

What country are you from? Monitors can change dramatically between the USA and EU

Hi mate. That all looks pretty good. Any reason for the big PSU? If you are thinking SLI down the track even a good 850W would be ample for 2 x 770s

Ok, i will downgrade to the ax850i. Will that be able to support a overclocked gpu and cpu. Plus a gtx 770 and a ssd and hdd?

16GBs for gaming is useless, you'll see a max of 1-3fps difference. Save the extra money and get a GTX 780 or something like that.

Don't know much about that exact model. Are you looking a the ax860i maybe?

And yes a 850W PSU is good fit for a setup like that, even taking into account factors like efficiency depletion over time.

Are you looking on PCCaseGear by any chance? The PSU you've been checking so far are pretty expensive models. Gold ratings are nice... but well reviewed, good brand options will save you and still perform well. I don't want to steer you away from quality parts but you could save a bunch and still get a nice unit with something like:
