-msi gtx 760 itx

-h55 water cooler

-120gb Kingston ssd

-1tb wd blue

-hiperX 8gb 1600

-cx500M

Looks good to me

[StrawBari]

it looks like it will be a good little system

[macru7]

So no changes?

I think that build is pretty good, make sure you get dual-channel ram (2 sticks) so you get a little bit more performance. I have no experiences with gigabyte motherboards, i'd go for an msi or asus but if you are comfortable with the price go for it.

So no changes?

No , you've done a good job with the parts!

Build looks good if your up to it, im gonna warn you that it will be very tight in there with a rad installed. Also make sure the ram isnt too big in the heatsink size, you will probably route your cables over the ram area so you will need to save space.

Thanks man! I have a question, do you have experience with a gigabyte mobo? because i have an asus option but it costs a little more.

When i clicked on the links, both boards are the same price, its interesting that different places change the prices so much...

[macru7]

yup

Are you planning on overclocking?

If not, than get a 4670 or 4570. No point in getting a H87 Mobo and an unlocked CPU.(H87 Mobo can't overclock)

If it were me , I'd go with the Asus just because I like Asus products. But there are 2 negatives to the asus - no surround sound and no built in wifi. Overall the gigabyte looks like a more premium board.
