What're you doing with your PC? What if your budget? If I know your budget, i can help you get better parts.

[AustinKZombie]

Go full tax you will be much more happy in the long run.

good solid build. i5 is enough for any games. 16GB is plenty for the ram and your Pro ssd will be good for os installation.

760 watt power supply is enough for further expansion of sli if necessary.

 

but yes the question that must be answered is the one posted by WunderWuffle

 

What're you doing with your PC?

[delet my acc pls]

Get 8gb of ram it is plenty also get the non pro version of the ssd

[berianmol]

Yeah the 4670k and maximus hero are a great combo.

But if you are into gaming i would say get 770 instead of 760 and select 8gigs of ram, 16gb is a bit of overkill, you won't have much use of it while playing games. 

And if you can get kingston hyperx thats good, but samsung pro 840 is also a good option.

if you're planning a custom waterloop in the future, lower end cards alot of times don't get waterblocks for them.  so i'd got for a 770 for that.  and as far as 16gb being overkill, just go for it, its not like that extra 8 gb is costing you a fortune...

[Koori]

Budget wise it is around all those part cost so can't get anything more expensive. I live in Singapore hence US prices is quite different on some parts.

 

Gaming, further video editing etc.

 

16GB of RAM justification:
Heavy multiasking, my chrome already takes up nearly 4GB of RAM.
Will be using RAMDisk ~4 GB and left with 12GB of RAM for my workload

 

Yes I will be upgrading in the further, Custom Water Loop and maybe a GTX760 SLI.

 

About the waterblocks issue, I will just hope that they will release one for 760 in the future.

Thanks for the input guys!

if you are on a budget, see if you can get gtx600 series instead, it's cheaper than getting 700s and especially if you're going for 760, just pick up a 680 that someone used before :)

I like it, seems like a pretty nice build.

 

Also love that you went for a Core i5 instead of an i7, most of the time they aren't really needed (though a lot of the time it's 'want' rather than 'need') lol

It's hard to get something decent used in my country bro :/ If not I would go for it too. I'm stuck in the 700 series as I'm waiting for the Shadowplay :)

I would want a i7 though, but due to budget constraint I decided to cut it down to the i5 series.

Thanks!

No worries :) also the Core i5 is a damn good chip which will provide you many years of powerful service, just don't overclock too much because the temps may get a little high :P

[zip2k4]

now, this might just be me, ok?

 

but if i were on a budget, waiting for a bit of $$$ for custom liquid loop - I would actually forgo the case and put the money for the case towards gpu.

 

you can easily just get a shoebox and cram your mobo there, yes ghetto setup, but it works and it saves you money.

 

when you have enough $$$ for the custom loop, get a case that fits your build, this way you don't have to worry about the loop compatibility to your case :D

[Koori]

Good idea though, but I will just go ahead with the case first. Won't be getting a loop anytime sooner. Might be even in a year time depending on whether should I change my mobile phone first or not xD
