New PC Build

[CaptainCat]

Hey guys, I am looking to buy my new PC in the near future, and I want to have it planned out when I come to buy it. I don't want to have any second thoughts about it. I aim (or atleast hope) to play games at High maybe Ultra at 60fps. I will also be doing college work, with Word and Powerpoint. Games like War Thunder and Battlefield 4 will take priority, but I also hope to be able to run Star Citizen well. I will be running on one monitor at 1920x1080. I don't need to purchase any peripherals, so that area is covered. My currency is British Pound Sterling, I don't want to be spending more than £950, but if I need to I may do so. I may look at doing basic overclocking in the future, so this will have be taken into consideration. I have created a build on PartPicker which seems good, but some may suggest alternatives for each component. (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/7vMJt6)

 

Incase you don't want to check the website I shall list the specs;

CPU - i5-4670k 3.4GHz

CPU Cooler - Corsair H80i

Motherboard - Z87-A ATX LGA 1150

Memory - Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600

Storage - Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200 RPM Internal Drive

Video Card - EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB Superclocked ACX

Case - Coolermaster Storm Scout 2 Black ATX Midtower Case

PSU - Corsair RM 650w 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX

Optical Drive - Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer

Operating System - Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit)

 

This totals to about £933. I also just want some advice on EVGA, are they a good brand for Graphics Card? I thought I read somewhere that they don't have great overclocking software. Thanks in advance!

my brother ordered a GTX 780 ACX SC, and all 3 that he had gotten, all had rattling noises near the power connectors, this was at 50% fan speed. dont know if it will be the same on GTX 770's though

 

Overall, it looks like a decent PC build to me

Thanks, I'll take it into consideration, I am contemplating MSI or Asus if I don't get the EVGA. Any personal preferences you could reccomend?

seeing as you would like to be overclocking, the MSI is a great card for an overclocking potential, and also, it stays really quiet and the cooling on the card is just amazing. ASUS and MSI are basically the same cooling wise.
