Building First Gaming PC

[BringBacon]

Hello, I am looking to build my first Gaming PC

The Parts:

So, of course. I have a few questions.
1) Are all of these parts compatible?
2) Is this enough to run some "Next Gen Games"
-such as BF4, COD: Ghosts, Crysis 3, Etc.
3) Any recommendations?
4) Will I be able to overclock this to 4.2ghz (4.0 at the least) without problem?

Thanks in advance for the help!

1. Those look compatible to me, get a z87 board for overclocking though
2. You know the answer youself, of course it's more than enough to run "next gen games" Ghosts is just a rehashed current gen game though 😀
3. You could extend your budget a little and include a 240/250 gig SSD
4. With a water cooler like that 4.0 GHz at least shouldn't really be a problem

yes I could, but I don't know if I need a 240/250 SSD, because I am only going to have the operating system, and a few games on it, like the more inportant one that I will be playing a lot that way they will boot up faster, but I am always open to options lol

Yep, you'll have to swap out the H87 board for a z87 board if you want to overclock though

ok, and I looked at it, and its only about 100$ more, and I can manage that, Thanks for the help 😀
