Gaming Build, how good will it be?

[eadlef]

Hey guys. I've spent a few weeks checking out the best parts that I can afford and such.
I just wanna make a final check that everything will work properly and be compatible with eachother.

Specs:
Mobo - Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H
CPU - Intel i5-4670K @ 3.4GHz Quad-Core
GPU - EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB
PSU - XFX ProSeries 750W 80+ (It was only 10 bucks more than 650W)
Memory - G.Skill Ripjaws X 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz
SSD - Samsung EVO 840 120GB 2.5"
HDD - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5"
Case - Fractal Design R4 Define Black Pearl
Optical Drive - ASUS DRW-24F1ST
OS - Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit)

So, I'm pretty much asking for a complete check. All parts, are they all compatible?
What kind of performance can I expect? How much FPS can I expect on max settings on games like Crysis 3, Battlfield 4 or Tomb Raider? etc.

Looking like a solid build, you'll enjoy that one. What are you thoughts on an aftermarket cpu cooler? No plans on overclocking?

Your build is very good.
Just perfect.
CPU is the best for gaming.
GPU is a beast.
PSU is perfect as it is from XFX.
You have SSD for better performance and that too from 840 series.
Everything is just fne.

Will not be overclocking right away. Most likely in the future, at which I will purchase a cooler.

 

[varun_02]

What resolution are going to play?

 

[Marcopolo123]

nice build, personaly would get a asus gtx 770, gigabyte z87 d3h or so would be plenty for me .
750w leaves you with the option of sli. ~550w+ is plenty for single gpu system.

 

[varun_02]

For crysis 3 at 1080p
FPS
Min: 22
Max: 54
Avg: 37

 

[eadlef]

Gonna be playing at 1920x1080.

I couldn't find any dimensions on the case anywhere, but I'm assume everything will fit in it?

Excellent build. What about your CPU cooler? Also, I found 1866 RAM for the same price:
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($82.05 @ NCIX US)

Gonna get the cooler at a later date, not gonna overclock right away. Also, the motherboard says it only supports 1333 and 1600, does 1866 do any difference?

 

[asad dab]

yes it will run all games maxed out with 60 fps

It'll run 1866. as for cooler...i missed the first comment saying you'll get one later. Gotcha.

 

[eadlef]

Alright, thanks everyone!

 

[envy14tpe]

When you first install the RAM it'll probably be at 1600, but you go into the BIOS (at boot) and change the RAM Profile. It'll run 1866 no problem.

I'm giving you additional PSUs that are still excellent but semi-modular. Could save money and buy some extra case fans.
Power Supply: Corsair Professional 750W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($89.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: OCZ ZT 650W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($79.99 @ Newegg)

So the PSU I've chosen isn't good enough?

So the PSU I've chosen isn't good enough?

It's good, but why spend $115 when you can get one for $80? Also, anything more than 650W is really overkill. Cuz a 750W is still designed for one high end GPU...you can't run 2 x 770s on 750W. I'm just trying to help you cut cost and still maintain quality.

The one you chose is just as good in terms of quality as the other two I posted. But really just get 650W cuz you'll never need more. You could even run a 780ti on 650W. I'd save $10 and get the 650W.

 

[eadlef]

I just assumed that I'd have more use of a 750W PSU than a 650W one. Since I don't really mind spending a few dollars (about 5 from the website I'm gonna buy it from) I don't really see myself going for the 650W in the same series. I want quality, I don't wanna go cheap on my PSU. So far I've only heard good things about this one .

Don't get me wrong, though. I really appreciate your help!

Well pretty close.

Edit: I used a better PSU than the build I linked.
