Help building a gaming pc

[Emma_claire]

Hi, I'm trying to put together a kind of high end pc, but i need a little help. Here is what i have so far

Msi z97 gaming 7

I5 4670k

Gtx 780

Corsair vengance 16gb ddr3 1600mhz

Corsair h100i

Fractal design r4

4x noctua 140mm nf-a14 flx

Corsair rm 740

Samsung 840 evo

I would like to know if i will need a higher or lower psu for that build. Also, will i be able to get 7.1 or 5.1 audio to my astro a40s?

And i if you guys can recommend a better components around the same price... That'll be great.

Thanks.

i5? Just go straight to i7 4770k. I think there will be a bottleneck but i doubt it, overall its a beast.

You could go with the 4770k, but your current setup won't have ANY bottlenecks

 

maybe wait for the new noctua fans

@Emma_claire That is a very nice rig you have planned. If you are mainly going to use it for gaming I would stay with your choice of the i5, if you do a lot of video editing then you may want to consider stepping up to the i7-4770k.
