Strong gamer pc

[Lars47]

Hello.
I want to create my own gaming pc. It has to be able to play the newest games, like BF4, on the highest settings. It is also supposed to be able to handle future games to come.

I have made this collection of hardware and I want to hear some experts opinions, as I am NOT an expert myself.

I already have a dvd player, HDD, cabinet, monitor.
Here are the hardware I have selected:

ASUS GTX770

ASUS Z87-A

Intel Core I7-4771 8 mb (intel boxed)

Kingston HyperX Predator 2 x 4 GB, 2400 Mhz

Noctua NH-L9i

XFX Core edition pro850w

Thank you for any answer.

be sure that your mobo has socket 1150 all the rest is a beast.

All Z87 motherboards have 1150 sockets

Get an i5 4670k and a GTX 780 instead

Thank you to you both. Lucasz, as I can see, the i5 have half the threads as the i7, doesn't it make it a lot slower? or doesn't it matter very much?

No, it does not make it a lot slower in just general use and gaming. In gaming, the i5 and the i7 are within a few percent of each other performance wise. You wont be able to notice a difference there. The only real benefit of the i7 is that it will be quicker for video editing and things like that.

thank you. I will pick the i5 then.
Is this asus gtx780 good enough. It is 3 gb, 6 ghz or is it a waste of money not to buy the stronger with 7 ghz, but which is a lot more expensive - http://www.edbpriser.dk/grafikkort/asus-gtx780-dc2oc-3gd5-3-gb-id-7446099.aspx?q=asus+gtx780

The 7Ghz one is not worth the extra money. Once you become more comfortable with computers, you can easily overclock the 6Ghz card to 7ghz+

Ok. Thank you very much for your very useful advices. I feel much more confident in the hardware-mix now.
