where are you building this? the prices seem awfully high

I think it looks like pretty solid build, if it was me i would go with the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157295
Extreme 6 motherboard Its cheaper and a good motherboard, that would save you 50 or so on the motherboard.

Then you could trade the psu you chose for this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371031 which would save you about another 20 dollars. and if you wanted to take that 70 and invest in a better gpu

That is just nitpicking though, The build you have is great as it stands.

Ya good build but mobo, gpu, and ram prices look too high.

If it's just gaming, drop the hdd - your ssd will be plenty. Might take part of the money saved and get 840pro.

the prices i got them all from newegg . Jed is the 840 pro really worth the 60 $ increase ? If so ill get it. Also well i need a high reliable hdd . Seems taht seagate is doing better tha wd nowadays. What about the 2 tb samsung one? ( some high capacity drives have a lot problems and errors it seems from reviews)

 

[J_E_D_70]

Not sure the pro feels any faster but it has a longer lifespan - if not keeping it long doesnt matter as much.

I like wd but thats not based on any kind of evidence... Regardless, cant overstate importance of a backup drive of some kind if the data is important to you.

 

[TheBigTroll]

the pro has a 3000 write cycle lifespan. the other sync flash has 5000. wouldnt pay 60 bucks for a small increase in performance

anyways, this is what i would get

psu is cheaper here. if you plan on doing SLI, go grab a rosewell capstone 750w-m

when talking of price/performance some people here suggested me that the barracuda 3 tb seagte is the best option . Im planning of getting it. Thank you very much for helping me. Really apreciated.

[TheBigTroll]

can you use 3tb of storage. i know i can given how much stuff i download daily, but can you realistically fill it all up? if not, dont bother.

they are talking about price per gb, which is obviously better the larger the capacity in hard drives you go. it doesnt mean extra performance whatsoever

 

[Nko]

you true it was all about price per gb,then that being said the 2 tb should be more than enough for my needs( also has the best performance ). thank you very much

Feel free to advice me on anything. Thank you

 

[TheBigTroll]

fixed

-motherboard at newegg comes with free ram
-550w is enough for single GPu operation. if you plan on dual video cards, get a 750w
http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=59615&promoid=1257
-way better case for cheaper

[Nko]

I was thinking in one mobo better than the asrock extreme 4 , by better i mean with more connectors and adapters ( like the asus rampage 4 ) but without being too expensive . maybe the extreme 6 has more things? Idk what you think . Thank you very much

 

[TheBigTroll]

can you use more than all the ports provided by the extreme4? if not, dont bother. if yes, i can suggest another board

 

[Nko]

Best answer selected by Nko.

 

[Nko]

i think its near the no, but Just in case which one would you suggest ?

 

[TheBigTroll]

get the extreme4. but if it wasnt for the free ram, i would have chosen the asus z77-v LK for better software and power delivery

 

[Nko]

you mean this one :
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131837

get the extreme4. but if it wasnt for the free ram, i would have chosen the asus z77-v LK for better software and power delivery

 

[TheBigTroll]

yes but right now it costs more than the extreme4 so no go
