Need help with building a PC

[dolphinbrother123]

Is this current set up okay for a first time PC builder?
Mboard: Asus, Asrock, MSI or Gigabyte H97 (which brand is better and more likely to last longer)
PSU: Corsair HX750
CPU: Intel i5-4590 // CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H105
GPU: Asus, MSI, or EVGA GTX 770 (which performs more quieter and cooler)
HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB
SSD: Samsung Evo 250GB
OD: LG UH12NS30
RAM: 8GB 1600mhz GSkill Ripjaws
OS: Windows 8.1
Case: C70 Gunmetal Black
Monitor: Asus VN248H-P
Wifi Adapter: TP Link TL-WDN4800

-I'd buy asus or MSI for a motherboard as they've been solid platforms for me
-asus MSI and EVGA all make great cards but I'd still say EVGA is still the best of the trio
-don't know why you chose a locked CPU and paired it with an H105; get an i5 4690K instead (its unlocked and can overclock well due to its improved thermal interface)

Everything else seems to be just fine oh and the C70 is a rockin' case to build in and is very newbie friendly and has lots of features pros love. Great cable management and solid industrial style look. I also love corsair but I find that their PSUs are a tiny bit overpriced (not to mention seasonic is their OEM for the HX series) and you actually can run on much less wattage so you could look at a Seasonic SSR-550RM (its a 550W modular gold cert. PSU and powers even my hungry rig) That could save you maybe a few extra dollars that you could use to dip into a beefier motherboard with a Z97 chipset that officially supports overclocking.

1. Swap out motherboard for an ASUS board, they are more reliable for z87/z97
2. That PSU is waaay overkill.

Even this is fine

What about ASUS H97-PLUS, MSI H97 GAMING 3, or H97 GUARD-PRO? And yeah you're right, I'm just gonna try to find a an air cooling fan instead of liquid. Maybe I'll just stick with non overclocking stuff haha

I know I shouldn't off but I'm kinda nervous since it's my first time doing this.

You should just get the msi because it looks the coolest

It depends, gigabyte have the ultra durable range where they use mil. class components ( Maybe just advertising stuff) , or the msi M-Power, also very durable as it's designed for overclokers in mind, and the Asus have the TUF series, where all of the boards have mil. class components aswell and tehrmal armour , their ROG series is durable also, it just depends on your budget and your needs
