Last minute pc build

[Guest]

Hello,

Intel Core i5 4690K

Corsair CMY8GX3M2A1866C9 Vengeance Pro Series 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1866Mhz CL9 XMP Performance Desktop Memory Kit Black
9-10-9-27

Asus Z97-K

Gigabyte GF GTX770 OC, 2GB GDDR5(At first i wanted r9 280x but when i read reviews of every other card being faulty and crashing after a few months i decided to try nvidia for the first time)

Corsair PSU Enthusiast Series RM750 Power Supply, Fully Modular 80 Plus Gold 750 Watt, EU Version(i hope this isnt much of an overkill because all the 650W PSUs in my shop are low-grade)

Corsair SPEC-03 Red LED

Now i know how to build a pc and the basic stuff but whenever im buying certain things i dont know what to look for in them,such as RAM,am i making a decent purchase here,is there some better case for the same-ish price that would allow better cable management?

I couldnt help but notice any Z97 mobo i pick has SLI but i dont need it...(I usually insist on Asus MOBOs,and i chose Z97 for upgrade purposes)

Im just asking for a general "is it good" or what could be improved here without the price going up the hill.

I will be overclocking in the future,now thats not a concern.

Thx for reading

That's a well balanced build there. I don't think you'll need any major improvements on this, kudos!

Yes PSU is a bit overkill, but as long as you use reliable ones, more wattage or costs shouldn't bother.

MoBo is good, CPU is awesome and will need an af cooler if you try to OC. Don't forget to buy one before OCing in the future.

RAM is plenty for now, you can always upgrade by putting another identical set of 2X4GB in the remaining 2 slots.

GPU is good for the price, if you can get EVGA SC ACX, then nothing like it! But the current one is in no way weaker.

The case is a good choice for the price. Hope this helps.

Change the case to a Phantom 240 as it is only a little bit more and is much better.

would i be better off with the asrock z97 extreme4 mobo?

Ex4 has 12 power phases which'll help in OCing compared to 4 in Z97-K. I'd go with EX4 due to this reason (I own 1 myself too).
