1440p Gaming Rig

[mudcakez]

Hey guys so I have this build. I'm pretty happy with it, have the parts ordered already and am picking them up tomorrow. Bit of a rush job but I can't handle not having a PC anymore. Can still change parts though if anything REALLY needs to be changed. Build as follows:

 

i7-4770k   @ $399

eVGA 780 Classified   @ $729

MSI Z87-G45   @ $195

G.Skill Ripjaws X 16gb 1866  @ $191

Samsung 840 EVO 250gb   @ $188

Silverstone ST65F-G  @ $142 [Already got it]

Noctua NH-D14  @ $88

Bitfenix Ronin @  $99 [Already got it]

 

Total @ $2031

 

Tbh I wouldn't mind a different cooler, the Noctua kinda ruins the aesthetics of it all but I cant justify the extra money for a Corsair AIO cooler. Any alternatives that are a little cheaper but still perform and look decent? If not the Noctua is fine. Appreciate any feedback.

Get a H100i and I would get another case. Perhaps a H440? If it's fits your budget.

 

Very nice build btw.

Why not a 212 Evo for the CPU cooling?

Considering that cooler, it's just a tad expensive. Already got the Ronin, nice and cheap, though needs some improvements on cooling.

I had one of those for years, no complaints but not much to brag about is it 

 

Your build is good, I like it. The only thing I don`t understand is why people buy expensive ram!  :huh:

 

My question is why is ram so expensive  Cheapest kit I could find that was 16gb and matched the mobo

Some say a factory burned down and that made the price raise, but meh. It's indeed too expensive.
