Hi! I'm new in building a computer and I want some help/opinions about my component list.
I will use the pc for gaming and also for university stuff. I don't have in mind to do OC.

Here is my component list:
-Intel Core i7-4770 3.4Ghz Box
-Asus Z87 Sabertooth C2
-Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
-Corsair Vengeance PC3-12800 DDR3 1600 16GB 2x8GB CL10
-Samsung 840 Evo SSD Series 250GB SATA3
-WD Caviar Green 3TB SATA3 64MB
-Asus GeForce GTX 770 DirectCU II OC 2GB GDDR5
-Corsair CS750M 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular

What do you think? Any changes?

Thanks! :)

Just make sure the memory is compatible with the motherboard. You can verify compatibility by either going to the motherboard website and checking its QVL for compatible memory or by going to the memory maker's website and using their RAM configurator program/app. All you do is tell it what motherboard you have and it will list all the compatible memory they make.

Also, if you can afford the extra money, you might want to consider a 4 GB Vram 770.

Last thought, if you are not going to be oc'ing, then why are you getting an oc'ing motherboard (unless you are planning to SLI in the future) and an aftermarket CPU cooler?

Ok, I'll consider cheaper MB like asus H87.

What are the differences in buying a 4GB Vram 770?

4GB is generally unnecessary for 1920×1080 or even for 2560×1600 and the only marginal benefits are found at 5760×1080 for a single card, would not recommend buying a single GTX 770 4GB card over the 2GB version if there is a significant price difference. the real difference is 4GB SLI over 2GB SLI, but only if you play at super-widescreen resolutions or requires extreme anti-aliasing.

I will play on a single monitor (1920×1080) and I will work in 2 monitors, but I think that for working I don't need high resolutions. I'm from Europe and the price difference may be 50 euros aprox.

What MB would you recommend?
