Do I Have an adequate gaming build?

[petersch520]

Hi, would like some feedback on this build. I may overclock. Is it worth investing the extra money for a better overclocking motherboard (ie AsRock Z77 Extreme4)?

If you want to overclock, it might be better going the extreme 4 and the hyper 212 evo.
Here's a list with it with about the same price as your initial build : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Gwkm

You can get cheaper ram in ncix is : http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=74758&promoid=1321
HDD : http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=74462&promoid=1324
Cooler(hyper 212 evo) : http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=64385&promoid=1324

The seasonic psu is of high quality, but the capstone 650M is cheaper with the rebate, and it's 80 plus gold, it has more efficiency, it's also a quality psu made by superflower.

You could get this asus z77-v le http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131823
It's a little better at overclocking and it comes with free ram.

The free ram is one 8gb stick. P/P rating, I'm not sure it's an upgrade.
