Is this a good build?

[M4ttHardware]

Hey guys I am currently working on a build for gaming.

Parts: http://

I plan on overclocking slightly. I intend to get the Seasonic M12II 750w PSU but it was not on the list so I picked the TX 750 which has very similar prices. What do you guys think about the motherboard? It is newly released so I think I might hold off for a while. I'm picking Powercolor as it is the cheapest locally. Also, how is the NH C14 compared to the NH U14S?

Slightly more expensive and has a more adequate PSU, cheaper yet equal RAM, a lot better GPU, a better CPU cooler and a cheaper DVD-drive:

You are in ok shape. My thoughts are below...

MB - The Extreme 4 is OK. Consider the the ASUS Z97-A as another good choice.
MEM - Although they are fine, they are "standard DDR3-1600 CL9 1.5v modules". There are better / lower priced modules to consider. The ARES below are DDR3-1600 CL8 1.5v at the same price range (lower latency). They also don't have tall heat spreaders to potentially interfere with aftermarket CPU coolers.
SSD - Good choice as is the Crucial M500.
HD - The Seagate below will perform a bit better.
CASE - At that price I would look at a Fractal or NZXT case.

Enjoy that build!

Hi, I intend to upgrade to a more powerful GPU like a 760 and maybe go SLI in the future hence I wanted to get 750 watts. In my area, the R9 290 costs a lot more, I would order online but newegg does not ship to my country. As for the RAM and cooler, I will consider them.

Well where do you live then? And where do you wish to buy from? And what is your budget in your local currency?

I live in Singapore and wish to buy locally as it will be a lot easier to return parts if they are broken. Some parts online do not have international warranty as well and I do not feel like getting something without warranty. My budget is around S$1600 which is around $1300 USD but parts here cost more and I can only get parts that cost maybe around $1000 USD with S$1600.

In that case your original build looks pretty good.
