Planning first build

[pooh00018]

I am planning a new build(actually I have been planning it for quite a long time but I am saving up for it)

 

I am looking for suggestions and tips that could help me improve my planned build

I already bought my SSD since i stumbled across a good deal

 

CPU: i5-4670K

HS: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 

Mobo: GIGABYTE Z87X-UD3H

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB 

GPU: GIGABYTE GTX 770(or the successor to the 7970/50) 

PSU: XFX Pro Series Black Edition 80+ Gold 750W

Case: Corsair Air 540

HDD: WD 1TB Black

SSD: Kingston Hyper X 3K 120GB(already purchased)

Monitor: Dell U2312HM

 

Any tips and suggestions are welcomed

Replace the cooler with seidon 120XL  and try to get the MSI GTX 770 it's better than the GIGABYTE

 

Other than that it's a pretty sweet build

The PSU is overkill, but I can't really talk.

Yeah, don't get the gigabyte 770. Otherwise looks great, it'll be interesting to see another air 540 build.

Seidon 120XL is 40 bucks i think that is pretty ridicolous for basically H80 performance...

Fyi, the 7970 is almost neck to neck to the 770.

Can't seem to find any MSI 770s nearby where I live(I do not live in the US/Canada) 

 

Are there any other cheaper models of power supplies that are modular(I like the clean looks) and i also like the black cables :/ any other cheaper(lower wattage) options that cover these visual aspects? 

 

The seidon 120xl in my area is nearly three times the price of a 212 evo(Does the performance justify the price?)

Benchmarks?

The H80i beats it in temps by a several degrees but it's less about temps and more about how they can both hit 4.5 ghz.

They're pretty similar when under normal load and not benchmarking.

Where do you live and where are you shopping from?

I'm sorry what i meant to say was graphs to prove that the 212 is similar to the H80i , or do you have compared them both yourself?

Sure but also be honest a Seidon Liquid cooler would look way better than th 212 and i don't know about you but IMO astheathics matter.

Aesthetics are subjective. It's up to the OP. I personally try not to spend more for looks unless the other options are just plain ugly.

Fair enough

[pooh00018]

I buy from local stores. 

 

I live in Thailand where shipping is not free(whether it be amazon/ebay etc.)

This plus some products having no international warranty makes buying stuff online hard to justify

 

The seidon is 3190 baht(around $100) but the 212 EVO is 1100 baht(around $35)
