Holy balls. OK. Lets start from scratch. Do you need a monitor, OS, peripherals or sound? What is your budget, currency and location? When do you plan on purchasing? What do you do on your PC?

three things

1. the i5 4670k is better for gaming the i7 4770k is a editing cpu so if you want to save money you can switch to that and get better performance in games 

2. you dont need 16gb ram unless your going to be doing video editing 8gb is the sweet spot for gaming 

3. you honestly dont need 1000w even if your thinking of doing sli in the future 

just suggestions other then that looks fine

1.False; They preform the same. Only reason people actually recommend the i5 is due to the price.

2.True; Games currently use no more than 8GB

3.True; 780s are pretty power efficient. I would recommend going for an 850W for SLI

 

With the money you save from the suggestions you could go for a more enthusiast cards such as the Galaxy/KFA2 Hall of Fame| EVGA Classified | MSI Lightning

 

(I recommend the HOF or Classy over the Lightning. Better overclocks in terms of memory)

The 3570K isn't necessarily better. It performs the same, and in some games, the i7 does pull ahead. Anyways, it's pointless to go last gen now. I do agree with the 8GB RAM statement though.

Yes i need all that stuff, my budget is ~3000€ and i live in finland, i have already purhased and parts should be arriving in 1-2 weeks. And i will probobly do gaming in general but i might do video video editing, photoshop and other stuff. Also i didnt include some stuff because i thought it wouldnt matter but here is it anyways

-Razer mamba 4g 2012

-razer blackwidow ultimate 2013 ( i was planning ordering this but they didnt have it and the guy i was talking about said that they didnt know when they gonna get more, but the intresting part was that he said that there is possibility that theres 2014 version coming so left it out from order and im going to wait and see if its true or not)

you can still over clock well with the i5 4670k and sli 780tis only take around 800w look at logan from tek syndicates rig he has the same psu as me (rm 850w) and hes still fine if you change to some of the stuff that i suggested you can save money and maybe get a second card sooner

i have already purhased 

And the point of this thread is????

Well, the order is already on its way and has been paid. But if you have good tips about the build i would like to hear them

dont push your 4770k too far they tend to be a hot chip but you could get 4.3-4.4ghz or so with the h100

To get some good tips for first time builder and let me know if i need to know something about these parts
