CPU Cooler - Evo hyper 212

(total price - $900)

If you dont intend to overclock, the build is fine. Otherwise just spend a few more bucks on the cooler since these 22nm chips tend to run a lot hotter than their predecessor 32nms'

y spend the extra buck on "K" if he doesnot want to overclock? instead go for a better GPU.

I plan on overclocking after I break it in for a month or so. Thats why I chose the K version, also update on the PSU I went with SeaSonic M12II 650 Bronze instead of the 620 as it maybe more overkill but i do plan on the overclock and the 650 is haswell approved. CPU cooler I may upgrade if needed, as it stands I had an extra evo 212 unboxed, so I just decided to use it for now.

thanks for the list, however some of the newegg prices you quoted, has spiked back up again.

if u r going for a new build, why settle down for IB? instead go for Haswell.

 

[kristisdbs]

Your cpu cooler will be good for OC. And a very good decision for a better PSU But if you are able to spend a little more money, i would go with 7970 ghz edition vapor-x or gigabyte. Benchmark: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/830?vs=768 (you can also see and compare other cards )

That card does out preform the 760 but at almost double the price, I could just SLI two 760s and be better off I would say.

anyway thanks for the assistance, I ended up going with my initial build but with an upgraded psu
