Alright, i have been thinking of building my first system for a while now. It's meant for gaming but i don't want to spend to much money on it. My budget is around 1500$-1600$ = 10400 SEK (since im swedish i thought i should include that). The build that im posting down below goes for exacly 1597$. What i want to know is if everything is compatible in the system (i've checked most of it already but some help is never wrong) and also if the system is priceworthy enough or if i should change some components etc. 

 

Case: Corsair Obsidian 650D Midi Tower

 

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K

 

GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 770 Gaming

 

Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming

 

PSU: Cooler master B700, 700W

 

Harddrive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB

 

SSD: Kingston SSD Now v300 120GB

 

CPU cooler: Cooler master hyper 212 Evo

 

DVD Drive: Samsung DVD writer, SH-224DB

 

RAM: Crucial DDR3 Ballistix sport 1600MHz 8GB

 

Oprative System: Windows 8

 

I want my system to be able to handle work in photoshop (rendering pictures for example.) and to be able to play new games like bf4, titanfall etc with a good fps value. I haven't had a look at screens yet but recommendations are always helpful. Since i live in sweden, components are really expensive compared to the u.s for example. 

 

Thankful for Answer, -Xya

I would go for a Samsung 840 EVO or a Crucial M500, since the V300's are complete shit now. Other than that, it looks good.

if i were you i would upgrade your graphics card. granted i don't know how easy or hard it would be for you to muster up the extra money, the 780 is just plain better in every way and for gaming it just knocks everything in the nivida lineup (other than the titan mind you lol) out of the park. and switching to sli at a later date would make it a powerhouse! i may be wrong though if so please correct me.

We all got left behind.

This, and I would go with an other psu if I was you. The CM B series isn't that great. Look for XFX psu's, they are really good for the price.
