Hey guys, I would just like to check that the PC I'm about to build is all compatible

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU FAN: Cooler Master Hyper TX3 54.8 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
MOBO: ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 (2x8gb) <- or should I get (4x4gb)?
SSD: A-Data Premier Pro SP900 64GB 2.5" Solid State Disk (enough to place Windows 7 on?)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
VIDEO CARD: EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2gb Dual Superclocked ACX Cooler
PSU: Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
CASE: Corsair Spec-03 ATX Mid Tower
 
Solution
Nice CPU and Motherboard, keep the 2x8GB, I'd get a 120GB Samsung 840 EVO for the SSD, Seagate is great for your HDD, consider an R9 280(X) for your GPUm the PSU is alright, may be able to find you a better deal, and nice case Corsair has outdone themselves with that case at that price

Yep, not a big fan of the Corsair CX with a 4670k or the TX3 cooler and the 16GB ram ( unless it's for editing/ rendering). Could also get a better case for the price.
 


I will most likely be making videos with it, what fan/psu would you advise?
 


Have you considered an i7 or 8320? Those would be better for multithreaded applications, but an i5 would be fine for gaming. The 8320 would be a trade off, it's better at editing and it's less expensive, but it would be slightly worse than an i5 or i7 especially in single threaded games like Skyrim. If you post a new thread and link me to it with your requirements I could post a build if you like.
