Are these parts for a build fine? I'd like to know. Budget of around $2000. Any reasonable suggestions accepted. Will they cause any sort of a bottleneck?  I'm not new to PC building but I didn't want to take chances with this one, seeing it was for my brother. For moderate overclocking and heavy (but not ultra settings on Crysis 3 kind of) gaming, also basic web browsing, moderate 3D modelling (shouldn't affect anything, "moderate") and a bit of music (don't worry audio nerds, got my amp and DAC in closet, will probably never use them on his rig). Bro insists on Wi-Fi for this. :rolleyes:

How's that for a build? Okay? Don't worry about my fans, got myself covered with Noctua NF-F12 and the like. :lol:

overclocking with an 4570 is not really a thing.

z87 is also kind of useless if you dont have an k-cpu.

do you really need raid-0?

and please dont get this sound card.

with these changes you should be able to get a 780.

There's no such thing as an i7 4570 :P For $2000 you can probably get yourself a 780 instead of a 770 too. If you're going mostly for gaming, an i5 4670 or something similar will suffice. Going to do more other heavy stuff, probably get the i7 for the multithreading.

Your wont have any bottleneck I suppose, but then it's not a very good choice for OC and for that much money

Sound card is totally useless in everyway, so drop that. With 2000$ you should be able to get a very high end PC that CAN play Crysis 3 on ultra, but IDK if in Sing the price is much higher like in Thai here or not, so I will try to keep it cheap:

There, if the price is same as in US, you can even do 2 ways SLI GTX 780. The mobo have intergrated wifi, so you dont need additional wifi card.

I suggest you ditch the ssd raid, it's not worth it. Not even close.

Use that money (it's a lot of money!) for a 4770k, a gtx 780 (or r9 290, I tend to prefer the second because of better performance at higher resolutions and lower price) and an asus z97 deluxe. No reason to compromise really with that sort of budget.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

How is it a lot of money? The price of two smaller drives is nearly the same as one larger of the same combined size, we're talking a few dollars here.

I meant the 2000$ budget, not the spared money.

He wants an SSD boot drive and for his important programs and such. I don't believe in SSDs due to their high price, but I think I'll just drop one and keep one for now.

Yes that's what I meant, the ssd is ok, it's the raid part which makes no sense.

Change that crappy ASRock board for a Gigabyte/Asus/Msi.

 

You don't need a huge Air cooler like the Noctua if you are only going for moderate overclocks. Something like the CM 212 EVO would be fine.

 

You can probably get some faster Ram for the same price.

 

Sandisk are not the best SSD's out there. I would look at something like the Samsung EVO.

 

Corsair Case and Seasonic power supply are both very good choices  :)

You don't really need a socket 2011 build for the op's requirements. I would stick with an i5/i7 build.

^^ You won't fit that Corsair Ram under the cooler. Also Z97 > Z87. Seasonic G over the Corsair RM.

They should just fit actually. The dark rock pro 3 allows 44mm of clearance and the corsair Ram is between 42 and 44mm depending on the review you read. Plus on this mobo the ram end up under the fan instead of the heatsink which allows an extra mm or two. I admit that it is really tight. So I will adjust to the Kingston Fury Black series ram which is only 32mm tall.
