My build - opinions??

[TLBranch]

Here is a game system I am looking to put together and was wondering what people's thoughs where, what would you change (and why).

 

Asus Maximus VI Hero (bought)

i7-4770k

G-Skill Trident X 16MB (2x8) 2400

Nvidia 780Ti video...not 100% on brand yet

OS drive Samsung 840 256 SSD

Data drive Seagate 2TB SSHD (bought)

Corsair AX860i power supply (bought)

Thermaltake Urban S31 case (bought) - like the clean look

Windows 8.1

 

still trying to decide between Corsair H100i or Thermaltake water 3.0 extreame

all fans will be swapped to Noctura NF-F12 120mm

case will get 2 NF-S12A (non restricted flow area) and 2 NF-P12 (restricted flow area)

 

G-sync montor when it comes out paired with a touch screen

 

My goal is a moderatly overclocked (using Asus UEFI) BF4 and Star Citizen system, with the plan to drop andother 780Ti when prices drop.

 

Thoughts / comments.

 

Thanks

if this is for gaming just get a 4670k and 8gb ram and save your money you would only need 16gb and 4770k if you were doing editing allot

Much more power, if you want to save 400$ "downgrade" to 780 non ti, IMO the extra money for 10 fps isn't worth it
