Will this build be good for a few years?

[testudo_aubreii]

Hello,

I was wondering if I can get a few thoughts on this build that I am thinking about getting. It will be used for gaming and work. I am a web developer, so I use Adobe Creative Suite daily, and usually have Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator and multiple browser windows open at the same time.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.

GIGABYTE GA-Z77-D3H is actually entry level z77 board
get asrock z77 extreme4 if you will do OC
and up the ram for 16GB (2x 8GB)

No ssd, i recommend an air cooler over the aio watercooler, what's your budget for the total system, if you're open to alternative suggestions.
You can get 16GB of ram, i recommend the Gigabyte GA-Z77x-D3H.

Thanks for the responses.

Yeah, what you see there is pretty much what I am getting. Will it be good for a few years?

 

[djangoringo]

Well, you have a good cpu for it and a good gpu, the psu is also good, if it's the V2 since it's was made by seasonic.
It will last, but nobody can predict how long.
There're some choices that i personally would change, like the motherboard, cooler, case, and ram.

 

[testudo_aubreii]

Cool. Yeah, I know it just depends on the system. I just wanted to know generally if it will be good for a few years, you know, mostly for gaming.

How about this:

GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD4H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

G.SKILL Phoenix III FM-25S3-120GBP3 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal 7mm Solid State Drive (SSD)

One quick concern about the power supply and GPU. First, the PSU. I am wondering exactly how much wattage I can get away with. I am thinking about 600-650w. And, have you ever heard of PC Power Solutions, this one in particular:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703036

Snd, th GPU. I can get this one or spend $70-$80 more on the GHz edition. I think that I will be able to overclock this one to meet the GHz Edition and the GHz edition, the voltage is locked, so I cannot overclock it. I just need a little push ti see which one to get.

Thanks!

Alrighty. Here is what I ultimately went with last night:

How does that look?

 

[djangoringo]

I think you can get the capstone 750W for the same price as that Corsair, and the capstone is a superflower unit, the corsair tx modular a channel well unit, i would get the capstone, also i would get a better ssd and i recommend an aircooler, you can find cheaper ram.
Here's the link of what i suggest : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Jt0i
If you still want an aio water cooler, get the h100i(fits in the case, though, i recommend an air cooler for less) : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Jt2y
