Hello,
I am quite new to PC building and after some reading I have made some draft build. What do you think guys? Gaming PC, possible overclocking..
Case: Coolermaster HAF X
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI Formula
CPU: Intel i7 4770k 3,5ghz Haswell
CPU Heatsink: Corsair H110
GPU: EVGA Nvidia 780-TI (at some point I will buy second one for SLI)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro Series 2x8gb DDR3 DRAM 2400MHZ
PSU: Corsair AX760i
HDD: Some random ssd;-)

I am not sure about RAM speed and if I should get more powerful PSU.

Hii thanks,
Any particular reason for downgrade?:)
I need to compare these cases never really looked at H440
 


Well the H440 Has Great Airflow,Silent,Hides PSU,Makes Cable Management easy and matches the color scheme of your build
 
how about the graphics if I may ask is it just colour? People have different opinions regarding PSU.. many people favour corsair
 


Not Just Color, Asus GPUs Are usually the coolest and are quite easy to OC, But EVGA is a great company too
 
Seems that haf x has a problem to accomodate H110 280mm radiator. You suggested H100i I wonder what are differences between H100i h105 and h110
 
That build that TheUnknownPC suggested is good but it has way too good mobo and PSU.
You should be fine with a Asus Maximus VI Hero and a 600W PSU. It will perform just as well and it will be cheaper.
