New 'Gaming' Pc Build
Last response: in Systems
Hello everyone,
After recently finding out that building your own pc is alot cheaper than buying one of the market, i decided to build my own.
Now, i do not know much about PC'S but i have an idea and i was just wanting clarification.Here is a list of parts i have put together, please if any of them do not work together or if there is a better product just tell me.
Thank you.

You're doing tons of things wrong.
1. No CPU will give you better performance in games than the i5-3570K, which is A LOT cheaper than the CPU you mentioned. Games simply doesn't take advantage of technologies in more expensive CPUs.
2. You don't want the GTX 680 these days. For a high-end GPU, you either want the GTX 670 or Radeon 7970. The GTX 670 performs very similar to the GTX 680 for less money, and performs equal once overclocked. Same goes for the 7970, which has a similar price to the GTX 670 - a bit over 300£.
3. You don't need 16GB RAM for a gaming build, and you want the RAM to have a speed of 1600MHz.
4. I don't recommend going water cooling, at least not when you don't know extremely much about this from before. The H60 isn't a very good water cooler either. I would look for an air cooler, preferably the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO for light-medium overclocks, or the Noctua NH-D14 for higher overclocks.
5. You really want a SSD for a high-budget build like this.
Give me a few minutes and I'll put together a build for you.

Some comments about the build I posted:
-I'd say the 3570K paired with the Hyper 212 will give you a max overclock of 4,5GHz. I would recommend 4,2GHz, since overclocking beyond this frequency requires you to mess with voltages and other stuff.
-The motherboard supports SLI, and the PSU has enough wattage to handle SLI. Add a second GTX 670 right away/later on if you wish. Keep in mind that a GTX 670 + 3570K will still destroy any game played on ultra @ 1080p these days.
-The SSD is big enough for storing your OS and applications, and maybe some games as well. Keep in mind that Steam requires all games to be installed on the same drive. I would still recommend installing games on a HDD, since it only affects loading times, and not actual game performance.

Looks good as well, but I see no reason to go with an 850W PSU for a 2x670 build. 750W will do fine.
cpu: i5 3570k
cpu cooler: noctua nh-d14 / corsair h100 / zalman cnps12x / hyper 212 evo
motherboard: gigabyte ga-z77x-ud3h / asus p8z77-v / asrock z77 extreme4
memory: corsair vengeance LP (low profile) 2x4gb ddr3 1600mhz
HDD: western digital green 7200rpm 1tb
SSD: intel 330 120gb / samsung 830 128gb
GPU: any gtx 670 / radeon hd 7970 with a good cooler. (gigabyte windforce 3x, asus direct cu 2, msi twin frozr 3/4)
case: fractal design define r4 (oh my god i love this![:)]( ":)")
), the naxt phantom 410 is also quite nice
PSU: any quality brand 550w(not doing sli/crossfire) or 750w(if you are planning sli/crossfire) 80 plus bronze/silver/gold/platinum
that will be around £1000 i think.
