Im thinking of making a powerfull pc but i dont know a lot of things about what parts should i use, if they fit together or if they will work together at max potential.. After looking around on the net about motherboards and stuff like that ifound those parts and i'd like to know what do you think of them and if you can suggest enything better :

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97-D3H

Processors: Intel Core i7-4770K

RAM: G.SKILL F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL 8GB (2X4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHZ RIPJAWSX DUAL CHANNEL KIT

Hard disk: Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500GB (WD5000LPVX)

graphics card: MSI GeForce GT730 2GB (V809-1413R)
I need it to be 64-bit with windows 7.
(That's all for now)

Do i have any chances??? (and sorry for my English).
 


Oh absolutely. I'd prefer the FX8320 for rendering and Autocad. However, the i3 will boost significiantly in mulitasking performance with hyper threading.

What do you think?A friend of mine said he knew some things...Should i change something?
And also...for 1600 Mhz RAM the sites pops anotification saying:
emory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Haswell CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.Is this a problem????
 
``What do you think?A friend of mine said he knew some things...Should i change something? ``

this is a good build so far ..but i do not like the board if in the futur you want to SLI ..you will not be able to do it
this board have a bad audio chipset and bad vrm setup for overclocking

 
HEY guys! I finally built it! I mostly used the parts that you suggested and i can say i love it...BUT, i have a small problem. The first day i noticed that the boot was somehow fast (less than 1 minute)...and then i installed the drivers for the GPU from the cd ( i bought a sapphire dual-x r9 280)downloaded catalyst control center, made some updates for windows( installed win7 ultimate 64 bit). Also, i installed a drawing programm i need for university projects. After that, the pc boots at about 2 and a half minutes..... 🙁

I know it is probably the wrong category to mention this problem, but i would appreciate some help.... I mean i havent even closed the pc case, what the heck?
