From my last Thread, What your opinion?

Ok I have Managed to talk with some people:
I have Build this System In 2011 Year (+/- 5 Years Ago)

My current Most Updated System:

Processor: Intel i5-2500k Sandy Bridge NON-Overclocked
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD4-B3
Aftermarket Cooler: Scythe Mugen 2
GPU: Sapphire HD6950 x2 Crossfire
Ram: 2x4GB DDR3 1333Mhz
PSU: Seasonic SS-750AT 750W Active PFC 4x G2a/12V Single Rail
HDD: Samsung 1TB Sata II 32MB Spinpoint F3
Optical Drive: LG DVD-RW x22 Dual Layer Sata Black x2
Case: Coolermaster HAF 932 Black

In Conclusion After Talking with some friends I have this system: Changed is what I want to do

Processor: Intel i5-2500k Sandy Bridge Overclocked - Changed
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD4-B3
Aftermarket Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper 212x - Changed
GPU: Sapphire Sapphire R9 390 Nitro - Changed
Ram: 2x8GB DDR3 1600Mhz HyperX Blue - Changed
PSU: Seasonic SS-750AT 750W Active PFC 4x G2a/12V Single Rail / Maybe Seasonic S12G-650 650W - Maybe
HDD: Samsung 1TB Sata II 32MB Spinpoint F3 + Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB - Maybe
Optical Drive: LG DVD-RW x22 Dual Layer Sata Black x2
Case: Coolermaster HAF X - Changed


Note: Wanted to go with Corsair H80i GT but I want to avoid any situation of leaking (if), Because on most parts I don't have Warranty.
Also I will go with Push Pull Corsair SP120 PWM High Performance on the Hyper 212x

Thanks for the help

As an FYI, even if you had a warranty, it likely wouldn't cover any water damage from an AIO cooler leaking.
The cooler manufacturer's only warrant their product too, so wouldn't cover any resulting damage.

Personally, I'd go with a liquid cooler.

Looks good to me, for the most part.

SeaSonic PSU's are great quality, absolutely but note the EVGA SuperNOVA B2 750W which is $50 after a rebate (assuming you're in the US?). A great quality PSU, for a cheap price. Just an option, can't go wrong with any of the SeaSonic's you listed or this B2.

If you can find the same RAM you have at the moment (2x4GB @ 1333MHz) that might be cheaper than replacing it with 2x8GB @ 1600MHz, speeds aren't going to make much difference. It's extremely unlikely you'll ever need more than 16GB while this board/CPU are relevant, so keeping 2 slots free for future upgrades seems unecessary.
Of course, if 2x8 is just as cheap, then there's no harm there either.

For your GPU, you're bang on with the 390. You could always go for the 390x, but you'd see marginal improvements at best.......for around $80 more. Good call with the 390.

For the liquid Cooler, Sorry but I cannot win the psychological issue that I am sacred of putting water inside my system, Maybe there will be leaks, Broken pipes and who knows, that is just me.

Ill stick with Seasonic as I am already used to it and its very good PSU.(I live in Israel)

For the RAM: Right now HyperX Fury 2x8GB 1600Mhz is 60$ so its cheap...

GPU: Thanks, I knew that Sapphire R9 930 is good choose as the difference between the R9 930 and R9 930X is 55$ and only few mini upgrades that I will not notice..

That's fair enough - entirely up to you what you put inside your rig. There's always a risk with liquid coolers and if you can't get comfortable with those risks, then absolutely it's best to avoid.

As far as the SeaSonic goes, it is a great PSU, no doubt about it. Just pointing out there are other, quality PSUs out there than sometimes work out cheaper than SeaSonic. SS are a great bet though.

$60 is good, I was just pointing out if you are trying to save cash (not saying you are), the 2x4GB is normally around $30 so would work out a bit cheaper. Not as straightforward as replacing with 2x8GB though.

Again, only a price comment on the GPU....if you can find a 290x for relatively cheap (less than the 390) you can OC it yourself and see the performance of the 390x for less money, although you'd only have 4GB VRAM vs the 390.

Overall your build is solid, and a great "bang for your buck". No reason not to go for it, I'm really just nitpicking at this point to give you some suggestions.

Ok than, Ill build it but I need help with overclocking the the i5-2500k form 3.3 to 4.3
