Hey guys i am building my first gaming PC this month and I need help choosing parts.

I have decided on a CPU and a GPU

The 4670k and the gtx 770. Please someone help me choose the other parts. My main use on a PC is gaming and web browsing.

Thanks!

Do you want Matx, atx, what? what case do you want? do you want air cooling or a closed watercooling loop, you gotta help us out a bit :D  Maybe choose some parts yourself and we will tell you what you can change. also what is your budget? is there a color scheme you want to go for?

Whats your budget and what sort of case are you after. Ie MITX, MATX or ATX, Are you watercooling it,  Budget is the main thing and what country are you in. As i know for a fact the Australian market stinks when it comes to variety. But in saying that it has gotten better.

No matter what you're budget, make sure you get an SSD boot drive in there and a 1TB storage drive.

What is your budget?

 

 

Here is a build of what would probably be the best with those two things but is fairly pricey.

The Maximus VI Hero already have Supreme FX sound, wouldnt it be better to wait with a sound card and maybe upgrade something else

RAM - G.Skill Rigjaws 2x4GB (1600mhz) - $82

i know you said you want an air cooler to save some cash but get an H100i. the noctua may have clearance issues with RAM. i dunno but i would really recommend the H100i especially sonce haswell heats up more than ivy bridge.

Yes that is true, I forgot about that.

Guys if I cant run a gigbit ethrenet port to my room, how will I connect to the internet? Should I switch motherboards and get an Asus one with the WiFi antenna?
