My First Build

[EnD]

So I finally saved up enough to build my first gaming rig. I've been picking and selecting parts for a few months now and I think I'm finally ready to buy. What do you guys think?

Budget & uses & any monitors/pheriphials/windows?

Swap out that caviar blue with the caviar black as it's much more reliable. 

1000W is waaay overkill, no more than 650W is fine.

it can be better, provide more info please.

@EnD
get an evga 750G2 psu. its much better.
swap the 4770k for a 4790k
id get another case. maybe a h440 or corsair 750d
id swap the corsair memory for some kingston fury 1866mhz ram

 

edit. I have the4790k and I use an h80i. works perfecly

here is what I would do if i were you

[TheGamingBarrel]

Dont use  a 4770K, use a 4790K instead, do you really need a i7? And that 1000W Is WAY overkill

Sorry about that. My budget is anything under $2000, I'm currently using 2 1080 monitors. This build is mostly for gaming so anything that will revolve around a good graphics card.

then check out my setup it would obliterate 2 1080p monitors and it's pretty much in your price range

[JoaoPRSousa]

Pretty much answered then

Thank you so much for the feedback guys!
