Hello! what do you think about this if it's bad please explain why.



motherboard: ASRock Z77 EXTREME4, ATX

hdd: 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm SATA 6Gbit/s

ssd: Samsung SSD Pro Basic 840-Series 128GB

cpu: i5 3570k

cpu cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

extra fan: Corsair Air series AF140, Quiet Edition

gpu: MSI GeForce GTX 680 2048MB OC

case: corsair carbide 300r

power supply: Corsair HX 750W 80+ Gold module

dvd writer: DVD±RW Samsung 24X DL black OEM

os: windows 8
 
I would use this motherboard since it has higher quality and is slightly cheaper

This HDD is the lastest gen and will be faster than the 32mb ccahe versions and is hceaper than the comparable seagate version

Either of these power supplies will be cheaper an just as good/better

You can even just consider 80 plus bronze units as well


 
A GTX 670 will perform almost exactly identically to a GTX 680 despite being far cheaper, so I recommend getting a GTX 670 instead of a GTX 680. They're also a little more power efficient, granted not by enough to really matter.



If you're going to talk about the PSUs, why not mention how utterly overkill they are? It can be dangerous for the PSUs to be that overkill.

How is that utterly overkill? If he decide to go on to SLI the gtx 680, 750W is not overkill.

One thing you are missing.. HE HAS A 750 WATT PSU. Theoretically HE CAN SLI the 680s. And yea 850 watts is probably never going to be needed much in the future for ANY dual gpu rigs. As hardware progresses it tends to get smaller and use less power..
 


Heh, he could do 680 SLI with a good 650W such as a Rosewill Tachyon just fine. Even better would, like I said earlier, be dropping down to 670s. That can not only be much cheaper (making SLI more affordable), but would also decrease power consumption even further, not that it needed to go down.
