Potential Build

[Invancible]

I am preparing to start my first build, but I wanted to get a look over on the parts I'm thinking about ordering to make sure there's no bottlenecking or any other issues like that.  I plan to use this build to game and video editing. I will also do a custom water cooling loop and overclock to 4.5-4.6 GHz. So here is the parts list:

 

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87 1150 mATX 

CPU: Intel core i7 4770K

Graphics Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB DDR5

RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB 2133MHz

Power: Cooler Master Silent Pro M 1000W

Chassis: Corsair Vengeance Series Black C70 Mid Tower Case

Optical Drive: Asus Internal 24X SATA

Hard Drive: Samsung 840 Series 120GB SSD

 

Also going to have two SanDisk 64GB SSD in a RAID 0 to allow for fast write speeds when using FRAPS.

 

My watercooling loop is going to use 2 Black Ice GT Stealth 240 rads hooked up to both the graphics card and the CPU.

Looks good, though what thickness are those rads? Also do you want the build to be quiet or do you not really care?

[Emperor_Piehead]

that power supply is way overkill a 650w or 750w would be a much better. Why do you want an atx case and then put an m-atx motherboard in it? Do you plan to have a standard hdd?

[WoodenMarker]

The psu is overkill. Any decent 600-650w will be plenty.

Any ram speeds above 1600 won't help unless you're doing heavy rendering.

You won't need 2 ssds in raid 0 to use fraps unless you're recording in 4k. Even a WD Green drive would be fine for that. Just get dedicated 1TB WD caviar blue or seagate barracuda for that.

 

Btw, what's your budget?

I do not know the thickness on the radiators. As far as silence goes, I'd like it to be pretty silent but I have Astro A40s so I couldn't hear it running anyway.  I'm using the small ssds because I've personally seen the difference with one of my friends builds and the fps with a raid 0 config is so much better than with a conventional hard drive.  Budget is 2500-3000

any ssd would be better than a normal hdd. I meant a normal hdd as in holding your steam library. Also does this budget also include monitor, keyboard, mouse or just the computer itself.

[Invancible]

just the computer itself

I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending the watercooling stuff but, left plenty to go for a loop. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1gsgp

Can you tell me why aren't you getting a full ATX board.
