Hey, im 14 and I want to build/make a new PC to last me for a long time. Will the components work well together and will I be able to play games like BF4 on ultra (1080p) well? These are the components I will probably have:
CPU - Intel i7 4770k (OC 4.2GHz)
Motherboard - ASUS z87-PRO
Graphics Card - ASUS GTX770 CUII 2GB
RAM - Corsair Vegeance 8GB (1600mhz)
Power Supply - Corsair GS 700
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB (7200rpm)
SDD - Kingston HyperX 120GB
CPU Cooling - Corsair H100i water cooling
The PC will cost around 1800-2200$
And also, can someone suggest a nice looking mid-tower/full-tower (ATX or above) PC case, which has 2 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0 I/O ports or just 2 USB 3.0 ports? Thanks :)
[Im thinking of getting the RAIDMAX vampire case, if there are no other cases that I really like)

 
That's a great setup. If you use that exact system, you should be able to play BF4 at full ultra, 1080p at about 40-50fps (with Windows 8.1, due to its pooled memory usage, otherwise expect to have to lower AA). With an overclock on the GPU, you might even push 60 on some maps.

If anything, I'd recommend that you ditch the CPU watercooler and go with something cheaper like the Hyper 212 EVO, since almost no games (including BF4) benefit from CPU overclocks on the Intel side. The Mobo is also overkill, maybe drop to an MSI or Gigabyte Z87 standard board, since there is little benefit having the 'pro' editions. This will give you cash to upgrade to 16GB RAM, or maybe even a stock GTX 780.

As for the case, I highly recommend the NZXT Phantom 410. Nothing beats it in value for money, since it has such excellent cooling and acoustic dampening included. Check the Tom's case comparisons to see for yourself. I got my latest one for £70 after a few discount codes I found online, and was absolutely thrilled with it. It also has a side window ^^

Hope I helped!

 




Thank you for your feedback, Tedfoo25. I really appreciate it! Thanks for the case suggestion, I really like it and probably will include it in my system. It has all the functions I need, great cooling and really amazing look! Do you think the Noctua NH-U14S would also be a good choice for the CPU cooler? I have heard that it has really good performance for its price. If I were to get i5 4670K, would that still be a good choice with the rest of the set? Its way cheaper, but will it still perform very well? Or should I stay with i7 4770k?
 


That's an excellent cooler. If you can afford it, get it. However, don't downgrade to a 4670k - most games pull on 8 threads now, some even 12. Save money in the CPU cooler and Mobo.
