ASUS P9X79 LE
Intel i7-4930k /w Corsair H100i

EVGA GeForce GTX 780Ti

Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (4x4GB)

Corsair CX Series 750W Modular PLUS Bronze

CM Storm Stryker

 

 

This will be the first rig I ever put together, would like some kind of "seal of approval", so I know im not buying parts that dont work well with eachother.

Any incompatibility issues that I can't see with my nooby eyes?

That is completely pointless, as X79 takes better advantage of quad channel RAM.

Yeah, PSU seems out of place.

 

Lots of reaaaally high level components, and then an entry grade PSU.

PSU will work, but its just out of place.

What are you going to be using this for?

If it's just gaming I would suggest Z87 and an i54670k

Amd drop the dominators, there isn't much point in them.

Yep, get a modular PSU

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

There's no compatibility issues that I can see, but do you really need the six-core CPU and 16 GB of quad-channel RAM (as a first build)? You could save a lot of money by getting a 4770K and only 8 GB of RAM, and your gaming performance wouldn't really be affected..

 

What's your storage going to look like? 

i7 not perfectly stable at 4.4.. #firstworldproblems

Switch dominator plats with vengeance pro, 760i is good,

Please explain the uses, the 1k processor is most likely unnecessary

It is an odd build, 16GB on an x79 platform. If would help to know the specs on the memory. It would also help to know how the system will be used as that may affect recommendations on memory speeds and timings.

 

Glad to hear that the psu has been upgraded to the AX760i. But that is an odd size for an x79 build. If the plan is for a single gpu, the psu is too large. If the plan is to eventually add another one, two, or three gpu the psu is on the small side.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
