is this a good build?

[Easter_Bunny321]

i'm planning on building my own computer, and i wonder if anyone have some changes/improvements to the build:

 

• case: cm HAF-X
• psu: corsair AX 860i
• mobo: asus maximus VI extreme
• cpu: i7 4770K
• ram: 32 GB corsair dominator platinum 2400mhz
• gpu: asus GeForce GTX 780Ti
• ssd: samsung 840 EVO 250 GB
• hdd: seagate barracuda st3000dm001 64mb cache 3TB
• cpu-cooler: corsair H100i

+ corsair link cooling & lighting kit

seems good but if your spending this much on your components you may wish to get a nicer case?

 

just my personal opinion though

[cxz]

Whats your budget?  Looks pretty high with some of those items you have.  Also what you plan to use this for?

[FireFox]

I agree about the case, the rest of the parts seem pretty nice but I'd choose a nicer case

[lilc]

What are you using this for? a lot of the parts seem a bit excessive like that high amount of dominator ram. Also yes get a nicer case, For the money you're spending you could get a 750D or a phantom

[LapX]

Seems great! Although I would choose a better case too. I sense that you want to make us jealous...

Edit : +1 for a 750D

[FlakeyBanana]

Also there is no ssd

[ViruZ_HUN]

get a 750D instead of "that" which is called "case"

[Freaky_spider]

corsair link is a huge flop.... woudnt get parts just to get the 'link'....

[ccaian]

Of course its a good rig, you chose the most expensive parts. You don't need 2400mhz, you don't need such a hefty motherboard. You can if you want to, but its a waste of money. You can skimp around alot and put the money to good use. Also get a more solid case.

There is an SSD its an EVO.  I was gonna suggest a dif one, but I haven't been told his budget lol.

I assume this build is meant for gaming so:

 

Case: Up to your taste, buy what fits your parts and makes you happy.

CPU: Little overkill for gaming, but since you seem to have a high budget, so what.

Mobo: Horrible Mobo, don't buy it. Don't even touch it with a stick. Get a Hero, Gigabyte z87 X UD4 , MSI gd65 gaming or something. Much cheaper + better. For gaming the Mobo is basically not worth spending too much on.

RAM: Dom Plats are waaaaaaaay over priced, appart from the fact that 16gb will do and are already overkill. Check out Kingston Hyper X beast -> A lot cheaper and as good.

GPU: Fine

SSD: 256gb 840 Pro if you have that kind of budget. More reliable than the evo and faster.

 

Corsair Link is crap. If you want LEDs get Bit Fenix Alchemy or Phobya Flexi lights.

my bad i must be blind

[Easter_Bunny321]

the budget is 3000$

 

the reason why i chose this case was the high airflow + not too mainstream

i'll go with the formula then...

 

+the reason for the high ramspeed is that i'm planning to oc

My friend has that case and it looks cool, but it was kind of difficult playing in it.  Plus it was loud as balls, well at least for me, my friend doesn't mind.  Do you already have a nice monitor and Chair?  You could remove some things and live in luxury with your bad ass comp.  Also you plan on doing any rendering and all that jazz or just gaming?

622$? haha dayum. Oh well I have the 780 and it maxes out everything but arma 3 so you're good. I guess if you've got the money for it overkill isn't an issue.

 

I hope asus releases their 780ti oc in my country soon...

What kind of dollars are you using?

If what you're going for is not mainstream, you're doing it wrong for every other part.

Why such expensive parts? There are much cheaper ones that do the same job. What's the system being used for?

Oc the ram? Why?

[SAV1OUR]

why do you need all the ram seems a bit over kill unless your doing editing and such 

[Easter_Bunny321]

Oc the ram? Why?

i'm not going to oc the ram, but when you oc the processor, the ramfreq will drop.

How? It shouldn't.
