New Build PC

[Joraj]

I just purchased an i7 4770s processor with a MSI Z87 G45 mobo.
I'm just wondering what GPU, RAM and PSU I should get - I want decent ones though I also need to curtail costs.
Can I use 1.35 v RAM or should I get 1.5 V ? I can't make up my mind as the reviews on the internet just do not point in any one particular direction.
Thanks for your help

This is the most budget friendly recommendation I would make. I wouldn't go cheaper than this:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

Memory: G.Skill Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($74.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 770 2GB Video Card ($309.99 @ NCIX US)
Power Supply: Corsair Enthusiast 650W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($79.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $464.97
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

Edit: you got the 4770s, I'm curious as to why?

Hi, Joraj

Go ahead and give us your budget.

A few months ago I bought an i7 4770 and MSI B85-G43. Have no plans of overclocking.
I paired it along with Zotac Nvidia GTX 660 2GB, Corsair Vengeance 1X8 GB DDR3 1600mhz, Seasonic S12 II 620 W PSU.

Check out this thread when it comes to 1.35V vs 1.5V

@MalakiArtook
I just purchased the 4770s as I got it for a decent price and I'm not planning on real overclocking. I just wish to get a build that will last me for some 5 years.
Unfortunately I can only rely on EBay - I'm far away - in Mauritius and many stores do not ship there or else the shipping costs are huge and prohibitive.
I got to make do with what is available!! Grateful to know about any store that ship worldwide with decent shipping charges.
I'll look up the Corsair Enthusiast and as for Ram I'm thinking of getting 2133 Mhz.

Thanks for your help & Regards!

I want to keep my budget as low as possible provided I get a decent build - I'm not planning on overclocking.
I'm from Mauritius and many stores do not ship there so i can only rely on EBay. From the article you forwarded me I guess I can use 1.35 or 1.5 v Ram - both would work fine.
Thanks for your reply
