Hello gurus xD

I'd like to get your opinion on this build for doing some gaming and moderate OCing. I play online games so keep that in mind.

I'm particularly interested in your thoughts on the Mobo as it received a reward from Tom's but I keep coming across some not-so-hot user reviews (although it seems like many mobos get such ire).

Mobo: Asrock Extreme 4 ATX
CPU: Intel 4670K
HDD: Western Digital Blue Drive
SSD: Samsung 840 Evo SSD
PSU: Corsair CX600M PSU
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
GPU: EVGA Superclocked GTX 760
Case: Cooler Master HAF912
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB

The price ends up about $1100 USD with tax.

Sound good? Will the RAM fit with the cooler? Cooler in the case? (I'd hope so given the maker). Thoughts on that Asrock board versus others that are priced similarly (or even cheaper xD).

Thanks for your advice in advance!
 
Solution
Asrock are usually favorited mobos, and have a good price. HAF'S are big cases sho there should be plenty of room, i really dont see anything wrong with it, seems a great build 😀


Get a PSU Corsair cx 750, same price xD same stuff, also haswell certified.

Neat post btw!! man i just commented on the worst topic ever, check this out.

I came from THAT to your post! imagine the shock =|
 


That post == omg D:

The 750 runs about $20 more than the current sale on the 600W round these parts. Is there any particular reason to invest given the current setup, or is this more along the lines of things I might add in the future (another video card, etc.)?
 


With the current build you dont need it, its only for the option to SLI later that you should get it.
