Hi everyone, i want to build a computer (Primary for gaming):

Specs:

Motherboard: Asus Maximus VII FORMULA
Power Supply: Corsair RM 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K BX80646I74790K
Case: Thermaltake Chaser MK-I ATX Full Tower Case
Video Card: Gigabyte geforce 780 ti
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
CPU Cooler: i don't know (help!)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-1600mhz Memory


thats all.
is compatible video card (Gigabyte) with motherboard (Asus)?
Is everything ok? would i need to change something?

ty to all!

I agree on swapping out the power supply. The RM850 has some cheaper capacitors in its construction. I'd look to the EVGA Supernova G2 850W if you want to stick with an 850W. A solid 650W would be more than enough for your system though. Unless you want a PSU for future SLI, in which case you should be looking for a 950W or so.

As for which cooler, it'll depend on how aggressive of an overclock you are wanting. For a mild overclock the hyper 212 evo is the standard. For a more aggressive OC, look to the noctua nh-d14.

And finally, 32Gb is a lot of memory. I don't know what you are planning to use the system for, but if it's just gaming, 16Gb is more than enough. Most people only use 8Gb.
Everything is compatible. Looks like a solid build. For a cooler if you want a good after market fan cooler the hyper 212 evo or pro is good. Also some might say that the PSu is bad. i like corsair
