Can you guys check if my build is okay and has no compatibility issues ?

Thanks in advance.

 

EDIT : Oh yeah, can you guys also help to check if my build needs some additional cooling ? (Liquid cooling is out of the option due to budget issues)

EDIT : Btw guys, can my build run games with Max settings and Physx Effects ?

Build looks great, and that board is too pretty to not be brought to the US

And cooling is no issue, the Intel Stock Cooler should handle the CPU fine.

Looks good, maybe grab a Hyper 212 Evo and an SSD (EDIT: if you can squeeze it into the unspecified budget)?

Check that out. Also, I suggest getting the 4690k

Maybe downsize the psu to save money

your wifi card doesn´t support windows 8 http://www.asus.com/Networking/PCEN15/specifications/

maybe they didn´t update their website and this card supports win 8

Then may I ask if there's a difference between Windows 7 and 8 in terms of gaming performance ?

Exactly

Is Thermaltake Litepower 550W Black Edition okay ?

Yes there is, but minimal(win8 is faster). I would go for Windows 8.1, because it´ll be longer supported.

Ps: I search in the asus website for you a bit and found out that windows 8 drivers are aviable for your wifi card.

So, I can actually put in the WiFi card without any issues and it's compatible ?

If you're going to get a non-K Intel Processor, perhaps consider getting a Xeon? If not you can in fact overclock on the H97 Pro Gaming with a bios update, and should therefore get the 4690k. The Cooler Master N300 has support for the Cooler Master Seidon 240m cooler in the right panel, something to consider getting.

[thprince]

So erm, about the cooling part, is there a need to change anything? And can I max out games?

Where would you be buying these parts?
