Hi, this is my first post on these forums but I'd skip the introductions and get straight into it.

 

I already have a CPU (3770k, got it as a gift), a 1 TB HDD and 8 GB of RAM.

 

This is so far what I'm planning on getting:

 

Mobo: MSI Z77A - G43

PSU: Corsair GS 600

GPU: Asus GTX 760

Case: Corsair 200R

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U14S

 

Here's the problem, I really can't change this out that much because I live in Indonesia and prices here ridiculous. I was going to get the Asus Z77 - A as my motherboard, but apparently those never got into Indonesia. So I was forced to get this MSI mobo as a second choice.

 

I'm planning on using this PC for gaming, with the 760 I'm hoping to get atleast medium/high settings in most if not all games at 1080p at around 50+ FPS.

 

If you guys have any recommendations for what I should change feel free to do so, but if you can please keep the price range of it around the price of which component I should change it out with.

 

Thanks in advance.

It looks pretty good, but can you give us a budget and what shop you are shopping at? You should get what you want with the 760, in some games you might have to bump something that doesn't matter that much to low or medium low.

My budget is around 900 USD. All those parts would cost around 700 USD in the US, but because prices and of a terrible currency it's going to cost me about 900 USD. Just add about 25% to the prices of whatever you'd like to recommend and that should be a good indication of the price.

The NH-U14S will not fit in the 200R. You can use an NH-U12S or save some money and go with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.

 

You do not need such a large psu for the GTX 760. A good quality 450W or 500W should be more than sufficient. Try to get a unit that is rated at least 80+ Bronze. Corsair CX is acceptable. XFX & Seasonic are good. Corsair RM is ok.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Get a smaller cooler like the 212 Evo. The cooler is 165mm tall and the 200R only fits coolers up to 160mm tall.

I'd recommend getting another psu preferably not from the GS series. They aren't the best.

I see, thanks for telling me the NH-U14s won't fit the case. I take it the NH-U12S is exactly the same except for smaller cases?

 

Also, what PSU would you recommend at around the $100 USD range. I can't really work with much here as the only decent brand of PSUs that come into Indonesia in bulk is Corsair. I can get any brand, it's just that the prices would be too high for me to work with.

The u12s is the version that uses 120mm fans instead of 140mm's. Think of it like a better 212 Evo.

Is there an online store you can link us to?

This is an Indonesian equivalent of newegg:

I was thinking of the Corsair Rm series, but apparently they don't have it. Sadly, it's the best online store for PC parts we have here, so I'm forced to work with it.

40 USD cheaper than a GS600. 

 

Thanks for the recommendation.

 

Anything else you suggest I change from my build other than PSU? 

That's about it. The rest looks fine.
