Need Build Help

[Sephyrus]

Hello, I'm in need of help regarding my build, any tip is appreaciated. I wish for my build to be high end gaming related with a budget of around 2500 Euros (around 3500 US Dollars - 11.000 LEI in my country's currency). I'm from Romania and I usually shop for electronics on www.emag.ro  - These are the options I've selected so far:


Motherboard -  Asus MAXIMUS VI FORMULA Z87, socket 1150  -   http://www.emag.ro/placa-de-baza-asus-z87-socket-1150-maximus-vi-formula/pd/DPXBJBBBM/ 

 

CPU - Intel® CoreTM i7-4770K, 3.50GHz, Haswell, Socket 1150  -  http://www.emag.ro/procesor-intel-174-core-small-sup-tm-sup-small-i7-4770k-3-50ghz-haswell-socket-1150-box-bx80646i74770k/pd/E8LB0BBBM/

 

RAM Memory - Kingston HyperX BEAST 16GB (2x8GB), DDR3, 1866MHz, CL10, 1.5V, XMP - http://www.emag.ro/memorie-kingston-hyperx-beast-16gb-2x8gb-ddr3-1866mhz-cl10-1-5v-xmp-khx18c10at3k2-16x/pd/D24CXBBBM/

Solid-State Drive (SSD) Intel 530 Series, 2.5" 240GB, SATA3, SSDSC2BW240A401 - http://www.emag.ro/solid-state-drive-ssd-intel-530-series-2-5-240gb-sata3-ssdsc2bw240a401/pd/DGNWFBBBM/

I already have a 1TB HDD

 

Power supply - Corsair CP-9020015 750W, ATX2.3    - http://www.emag.ro/sursa-corsair-cp-9020015-750w-atx2-3-cp-9020015-cx750/pd/EN3TKBBBM/

 

Case - No idea what I should grab.

 

Sorry for the wall of text. I've got limited knowledge when it comes to hardware but with a bit of surfing I've managed to put this list up.

Every piece of advice is welcomed do not hesitate. Thank you

If it's just for gaming, get an i5 4670K, 8gb 1600mhz ram and a 600w power supply. 

 

I don't see an aftermarket CPU cooler in there, but you have a K series CPU. does this mean you're overclocking or plan to overclock?

This, but also I recommend a 780 and the high watt psu so you sli the 780 later

Yes I do plan to overclock.

[MegaDave91]

Yes I do plan to overclock.

 

For a case, I'll just throw a Fractal Define R4 at you because it's a really popular (for a reason) and good case. Make sure to get the windowed version.

 

For a cooler, do you want air or water? The Corsair H100i is probably he most sought after AIO water cooler. If you're going the air cooling route, I recommend the Noctua NHD15.

well then you would need a cpu cooler what would your budget be for a cooler?

[Sephyrus]

It's in my budget so far whatever air cooler it would be

[MegaDave91]

If you want the best of the best in terms of air cooling, then this is what you want.

ok so for air cooling i would get the noctua NHD-15 as @MegaDave91 suggested, or if you can't find that in stock i would get the D14,

Yeah I think I'll go for the D14, it seems that only the D14 is available in my country atm.

 

http://www.emag.ro/cooler-cpu-noctua-nh-d14/pd/EBSN2BBBM/ - fairly cheap also

[Sephyrus]

This, but also I recommend a 780 and the high watt psu so you sli the 780 later

 

So is it better to just go for a simple 780 and sli another one eventually later on? If so what 780 do you recommend?

[Shd0w2]

Any 780. You might like wind force or dcu ii though, maybe even evga acx

I'm also in need of a great display but I'm really confused for what I should look.

 

-  will this be a good option?

 Never used it personally, but it checks out ok. It has an IPS panel and it's 1080p (1080p at 21.5" has about the same pixel density as 27" 1440p). You definitely won't need to SLI a 780 for a long time at 1080p though, so you might want to get that smaller power supply.

Thank you very much guys I've reached a conclusion.
