Hello everyone, since this is my first build , i know a bit about hardware and that stuff but i need some advices if there are any that ppl can give me 😀

I'll give my system specs for now and i will ask something in the middle of the post ^^

Case : my budget is around 2300€ since i'm on the europe and that is my coin 😛

System usage : Gaming, Video Editing, Gameplay Record. (Mostly FPS games... bf4 and stuff :3 )

Overclocking: will it be worth for now?

Mouse : Razer Deathadder 2013 edition

Keyboard : Razer Blackwidow ultimate 2013 edition ( love mx blue and rly want that razer equipment)

Monitor: BenQ XL2411T

Motherboard : Asus z87 TUF Sabertooth skt 1150

Case: Zalman Z11 Plus

Cpu: I7 4770k

CPU Cooler: Corsair hydro series H100i , i'm looking foward to put noctua fans instead of the stock ones. I want the system giving me the most quiet/performance since it will be on my room ^^

Zalman z11 Plus comes with 4 fans and i will put 1 more near the PSU , will it be enough for the system?

GPU/Video Card: EVGA Nvidea GeForce GTX 780 SC w/ACX

Memory: Corsair 1600MHz 16GB Vengeance Pro CL9 (2x8 GB) DDR3

PSU: Corsair RM 650W full modular ( 80+ gold )
Will this be enough? (Not looking to sli for now)

SSD: Samsung Pro Series 840 Ultraslim 128GB

HDD: WD Black 1TB 64mb

OS : Win7 Ultimate 64Bit

Will this work 4/5 years?
Good gaming rig?
Advices in cooling system?

I'm was searching for a fan controller, if some1 can advice me it would be great.

Thanks everyone, i will be waiting :3










 


All the parts are very well chosen, I'd only change two things:
Motherboard: The Sabertooth is fairly overpriced, I'd go with something like the Asus Z87-Pro
SSD: Buy the updated version of that SSD, the 840 EVO 120GB

The rest, I wouldn't change anything :)

Looks good! I would go with a Samsung Evo Series SSD though, and yes a 650W PSU will be plenty. With that cooler you could overclock now and you should. I don't have very much experience with Haswell but i heard that they run hot, but you could get 4.0+ easy. I also put a different power supply because its cheaper than the one that you have and its the one i have in my personal rig and i love it. Either one is fine though.
 
I checked and i though that the 840 was the best version, since the EVO is the one, i checked and i'll get the 840 EVO 120GB (Since is even cheaper 😛 ) it should be enough for the OS / Office , 1 or 2 games and the video editing programs.
Thx Guys 😛
I'll keep waiting for answers ^^
 


And what about the motherboard I suggested?
 


I rly wanted the sabertooth because of the thermal armor and that stuff, but i will dig a bit into the Asus z87-Pro 😛
