Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo)

ASUS P8Z77-V PRO LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

GIGABYTE GV-N770OC-2GD GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready WindForce 3X 450W Video Card

SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD256BW 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

CM Storm Stryker - White Full Tower Gaming Computer Case

ROCCAT Ryos MK Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

ASUS 24X DVD Burner

Acer V226HQLAbmd Black 21.5" 8ms Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor

 

all of that was around $2140 shipping and all.

is there any way to make this computer better because i cant overclock it much because it runs too hot. i really wish i would done research to get a better pc than mine, can someone leave me some tips on how to make my computer better.

I don't think there is anything wrong with your build. Overclocking only gives minimal benefits, though If you really want to overclock you can get the Cooler Master: 212 EVO, which is really inexpensive.

Get an h100i and replace the rads fans with 2 noctua nf-f12s or corsair sp120 quiet editions to cool your cpu for overclocking.

Very difficult to read. Next time, perhaps you could list each component on a separate line.

 

As others have said, not a bad build. Get an after market cooler like a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. No need to spend more for decent overclocks. Watch a couple of videos on installing this cooler before doing the install.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Whats wrong with PC seems fine?

Your doing something wrong if it runs hot,cause it shouldn't post some pics of temps and PC pics.

Agreed. I had an overclock on my 6350 and I recently put it back to stock and noticed on a couple fps different. Not much at all. You'd probably notice more on a CPU intensive game

I don't know how money tight you are. But in any situation a H100i is great. It handles most heat like a dream. I have my 3570K at 4.0GHz and I am able to run the fans at really low RPM's. So it allows for a quiet build, i could overclock more than that if i wanted, but i like the quiet and 4.0 GHz is perfect.
