Hello all,
I am contemplating building a gaming PC and was looking to see if anyone would be willing to provide some suggestions or critique the components I chose on PCPartPicker before I pull the trigger on all of them. I have experience upgrading older PCs that had originally come pre-assembled but this would be the first time building one myself. If you notice anything that is overkill or can be replaced by better/cheaper components, I would love to get the feedback. Any advice that I get would be welcomed.
My goal is to run a OC'd i7 4770k with 2-way SLI GTX 770 4GB cards. I have taken a look at some similar builds and thrown together the following list of components:
