Hello,

I've been doing as much research as possible to build a mid-high end gaming machine. I am about to order the following but would like some advice from anyone who has built the same machine or any compatibility problems they may have encountered.

Intel Core i7 3770K Unlocked Quad Core
Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100I CPU Cooler System
Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H
EVGA GeForce GTX 680 SC Signature 2 1097MHZ 2MB
G.SKILL F3-12800CL10Q-32GBZL Ripjawsz 32GB 4X8GB DDR3-1600 CL10
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1000W ATX 12V V2.3
Crucial M4 Micron C400 SSD 256GB 2.5in Solid State Disk
ASUS BW-12B1ST Blu-Ray Writer 12X
ASUS VE247H 23.6IN Widescreen LED LCD Monitor 1920X1080 2MS
Corsair Obsidian Series 800D Full Tower Case

Thanks

Matt
 
Good choice..
but honestly,
PSU: too big psu..even a 650 watt psu will suffice your needed..
VGA: i prefer 670 rather than 680, just very few fps slower..
Memory: 32 gb is too many.
even with 8GB memory, your computer will run any games and programs without hiccups..

from the money that you can save from above, buy a fast harddrive, at least 1tb..
(WDC Black or Baracudda XT)..
Single 256GB SSD drive is not enough for all of your programs, games, and work..
