Hi, this is my first post and I'm thinking about building new PC (or atlest in near future).

 

Here are the parts I picked:

 

CASE: Corsair Obsidian 350D, Black, Windowed {99 EUR}

MB: MSI Z87M GAMING {143 EUR}

 

CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K {203 EUR}
GPU: MSI GF GTX760 2GB {224 EUR}
COOLER: CORSAIR CPU COOLING HYDRO SERIES H75 {72 EUR}
 
RAM: CORSAIR DDR3 Vengeance Red 8GB {82 EUR} (Could use old ones,)
 
SSD: Samsung EVO 120GB {83 EUR}
HDD: Will use old one (SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3) {0 EUR}
 
PSU: CORSAIR BUILDER CX750 {76 EUR}
 
Total price of: 982 euros (1370 USD). Price may vary in your country, because where I live things tend to be overpriced. 
 
I'm going for red-ish parts, I thought about going yellow with MSI 760 Hawk and a cheaper yellow MB, but couldn't find good options.
My questions are - what parts are a good choice and what parts would you guys recommend to pick differently? Also I would love to cut a 100 EUR on this build. Also, I'm not sure about PSU.
 
 
And I wonder if this would be a worthwhile upgrade from previous build, built in 2009:
CPU: Core i7-860
GPU: ATi Radeon HD5850
MB: GA-P55M-UD2
RAM: 6 GB's mix of 4GB Samsung, 2GB Apacer - don't know specs on these.

In what way this build is better really? That MoBo looks awesome though, would it bring any benefits over the MSI one I picked? And why you think Asus GPU is better than MSI one?

 

In addition, really don't like kingston.. really anything, I have had bad experience with them.

it just like the look of the gryphon all more thats all 

as far as the gpu its a 770 its better then a 760 i just dont like the 760 because you can find 770s at the same price 

ram i just like the look of it any 8gb will do for gaming
