Hello there, I'll be getting a new gaming PC and was wondering if this build is good for gaming and if I'll need to upgrade anything.
Specs:
Intel i7 4770k
Corsair H80 ( With SP120 fans instead of stock )
16 GB 1866 MHZ Patriot Viper Ram
Gtx 780
2 TB WD Black
Corsair TX750M PSU (Eugh)
MSI z87 G45

 
Solution
I would get i5 instead, because you really dont need i7 for gaming. Same with 16 gbs of ram.. I would go for 8gb of ram instead.
What is your motherboard?

@Amar an i7 is great for gaming still. Where did you get that information from?
a i7 4770k would perform better in fps in battlefield 4 than an i5 3770k as long as the graphics card isn't throttling it..

as for ram you'll be fine with a 2x4gb (8gb) 1600 ram. You won't notice fps increase from ram.
other then that you should get an h80i rather than the h80. Bigger tubing and pump speeds.

as for me I personally would not waste money on a single rad closed loop water cooler. They perform identically and maybe 1-2c cooler than a hyper 212 evo. If you want to invest in a closed loop water cooler the h100i will do wonders

I never said it was bad, i am saying it would be cheaper to get the i5

Yea I know, but for next gen gaming the i7 will perform better.
Not all computer builds will be built within a budget.

@forgottensakes what sort of case do you have?
the h100i may obstruct the dimm slots, forcing you to slide it all the way to the edge of the case instead of the middle.

with the h80i you won't have any fitting problems. As you can put it in push pull as an exhaust.
