PC part picking (first time builder)

[erikmidtun]

I currently have an Asus G74SX Notebook and wants to upgrade to a new gaming pc, but this time around I wanted to build it myself.

This is what i had in mind:

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770k

Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45

RAM: Kingston Hyperx Fury Red 2x4GB

(MAin) Storage: Kingston SSDNOW V300 120GB

Video Card: MSI Geforce GTX 780

Case: Corsair Obsidian 750D

OS: Windows 8.1(64-bit)

 

so I need an optical drive, a HDD 1TB, Power supply (black box with red wireing if possible), a Display and maybe a CPU-cooler, if stock is not good enough. any recomendations? or anything i should switch out?

What is your budget for the whole thing?

What resolution will you be gaming at? 1080p? 1440p?

You should really take a look at this before posting in this subforum: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

For the optical drive just buy and external one, both internal and external optical drives are quite inexpensive now. id go with a corsair 850W PSU. You can get the cables redone. For the HDD i would suggest a WD Blue or Black.

Im living in Norway and my budget is around 13000 NOK ($2000) It will be used mostly for gaming at 1080p, but also for som photoshop. I play games like LOL, BF4, Skyrim,  and wants to play soon to come games like witcher 3 and farcry 4. I want one new 24" monitor 1080p and im also going to use my tv as a second monitor. I have keyboard, mouse and headsett

 

i also want to have the oppertunity to upgrade to gtx 780 sli in the future, aswell as 16 GB RAM and maybe watercooling.

you may want to consider buying a z77 motherboard and getting a 3770k, they perform almost the same and you would save a bit of money. my 3770k runs at 4.8ghz under load at 50C

well, in my country the 4770k and the 3770k is the same price + the Z87-G45 has SLI support and are red and black, which is the theme colours i want.

Still i might consider it.

do i need as much as 850W PSU? 

[ObilvionNizer]

More than likely no, but it allows for expansion in the future.

im running a 3770k at 4.8ghz  6ssd's 1 mechanical drive a gtx780 overclocked to 1300mhz and a pump for my watercooling. and i could throw another 780gtx in there and it would be fine. you dont need 850PSU for that build. but if you wanna upgrade in the future you might wanna get it.
