Question

How does this build sound?

by Aug 14, 2013 5:45PM PDT

I'm looking to build a new powerhouse PC, and wanted some "expert" opinion on the part list and just double checking to make sure it is all compatible.


CPU: Intel Core i7-4770k 3.5GHz, Socket 1150, Z87

Motherboard: ASUS Z87-A Motherboard, Socket 1150, Intel Z87

RAM: Corsair Vengeance CMY16GX3M2A1600C9, 2x8GB

Video Card: ASUS GeForce GTX 770-DC2O-2GD5, PCI-e 3.0 x16

Water Cooling: Corsair H100i Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

Case: Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Mid-Tower Case

Power Supply: Corsair CX Series Modular CX750 v3, 750W ATX PSU

HDD: Western Digital Black WD1002FAEX, 1TB, 7200rpm SATA 6Gb/s

SSD: Samsung 840 Pro Series, 128GB, MZ-7PD128BW

Optical Drive: LiteOn iHBS312 Blu-ray drive, Internal, SATA

Feel free to add any suggestions, but the price range must be very similar to the cost of these.

Thanks heaps guys.

Looks promising but you might also want to look at, unless you already have, Gigabyte MB'S, I've always had better luck with them than Asus.
