$1500 pc gaming build.. would like some critique

[MxRider9637]

Hello everyone ive been researching this build for about a month now and im pretty certain that this is what i want to get and i feel happy with it..

I want you guys thoughts on it...

Im going with the swiftech because i do plan on doing a custom loop down the road so i can just tap off of that. 

 

Yes i know the ram is not needed that i could get by with a ddr3-1600 but this is a great deal so i cant pass it up..

 

Any thoughts guys???

That RAM realistically isn't going to be any faster than the 1600mhz RAM. It has a higher latency.

I'd go with a different power supply, and grab the 780 from EVGA B Stock as you'll save about $150 and get a better card.

My thoughts are going to be long, 1min

I would use that system but you should try and find low latency ram mhz isnt everything.

What do you recommend?

I'd go with Seasonic first and Corsair second.

XFX has some nice ones as well.

 

On the EVGA website there's a B Stock section. They don't come with any accessories, only have a one year warranty but they're loads cheaper. Most enthusiasts would upgrade before the warranty is over, and if it lasts longer than that I doubt it'd fail anyway.

If you live anywhere near MicroCenter, they sell 4670k for 180 excluding tax.

Another forum member had told me the v700 psu has seasonic internals which it does and it also comes with a better fan..

I have no clue what a microcenter is

I have no clue what a microcenter is

MicroCenter is a local electronic store that has store in multiple states.

Location: http://www.microcenter.com/site/stores/default.aspx

Pricing: http://www.microcenter.com/product/413251/Core_i5_4670K_34GHz_Socket_LGA_1150_Boxed_Processor

 

and I agree with going with 780 or even 770, the fps you gain isn't worth the money you spend, unless you don't care

No ish ayy, theres one an hour from were i live..

The memory will be faster than DDR3-1600MHz CAS 9. Keep it.

 

I like your choices. Post some pictures. The 760T case is intriguing.

Thank you!! will do sir!

[MxRider9637]

I ended up going with the gskill x 2133mhz cas 9

I would go with 8GB @1600mhz ram because you won't get a noticable performance increase with the higher clocked ones especially in gaming. And personally i would go with a cheaper motherboard and use the money you save on both to buy an I7 4770(k). apart from that it's a solid build.
