Hi all!

After reading a lot of reviews i put this rig on paper. It's intended to be used only for gaming, so please tell me if some components are wrong or not compatible or what would you change...

I intend to overclock CPU and GPU in near future so check if PSU is adequate and of course i'll replace intel org cooler with a stronger one when that happens.

CPU: Intel core I5 4690k (Box)
GPU: Asus Geforce GTX 770-DC2OC-2GD5
MBO: Asus Maximus VII Ranger or Asus Z97 PRO
PSU: Corsair AX760
RAM: Kingstone HyperX Beast 16GB DDR3 2400Mhz (2x8GB) or
Kingstone HyperX 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz
SSD: Samsung840 EVO SSD 250GB
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus

Thanks!

Great build, I'd just like to point out, Corsair AX is quite expensive, you can go with EVGA G2 750W for much less price and excellent quality, but there's nothing bad with Corsair either, just the price.

Solid choice on MoBo, either is great for OCing. GPU is good too, cool and quiet.

You can go with EVGA SC ACX for a bit higher clock out of the box though, again, no comtability issue, just an opinion.

PSU is adequete for some serious OCing, don't forget to get a good CPU heatsink before that.

I'll check if shop has EVGA G2 750w PSU thanks!

What CPU heatsink should i take in case of OCing and do I really need 16GB of RAM for current games?

Depends on your budget:

Best performance: Noctua D14/ Phanteks TC14

Best value/money (moderate OC and low budget): CM hyper EVO 212

Best value/money (serious OC and medium budget): Dark Rock Pro 3 or scythe mugen 4 or Xigmatek DK2

Best value/money (insane OC and high budget): Noctua D14/15 or Phanteks TC14 or Corsair H100i

Overall best: CM Hyper EVO 212 or Dark Rock Pro 3 or Noctua D14 according to budget :)

Thanks a lot for answers. I have one more question :D

In Haf 912 plus case i get 1x 200 mm intake front fan, and 1x 120 mm rear exhaust fan.

Should i put 1x 200 mm top fan or 2x120 mm fans and do i really need that much fan's (i have a feeling the more fans i put the more dust will be inside ;) )
