So Im a first time PC builder. I have done a fair amount of research and finished what I want my build to be.

Mobo: MSI Z87-G45
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 780
RAM: G.Skill F3-1866C10D-16GSR (2x8GB) 16GB DDR3
CPU: Intel i7 4771
Power: Aerocool Strike-X 1100W
Case: Aerocool GT-S Black

I also have optical drives and SSD's for my storage. I also have an after market heat sink fan for my CPU.

Yes i understand that I should have gotten the i7 4771K for the CPU but i was given this CPU for free. It is also hyper threaded so i believe that it would make up for the fact that it is locked.

If you have any recommendations or i have done something wrong please let me know :)

Yes i do! I got it for free. Still a good processor though. I understand that the 4770K would have fit the build better. I have already figured everything out. Im just trying to grab someone else's perspective on what the build looks like.

The 4771 is great. You don't need to buy a Z87 motherboard. You can save some money and get a B85 or H87 motherboard. Either will offer all of the features you would need. You also don't need 1100w psu. 600-750w would be fine. Make sure you get a 80+ Bronze or better from a reputable brand.
