You don't lose any performance, and it's $300 cheaper. I don't recommend spending money on overclocking when you initially build your PC (It's just not cost effective).

I just did this post for someone else, even a better deal you MIGHT want to consider:

$850 Intel Core i7-4770 3.4GHz (4th generation, Haswell, 4 Cores / 8 Threads), 16GB 1600GHz DDR3 Memory
1TB SATA Hard Drive, 1GB nVidia GeForce GTX 650 GDDR5, Blu-Ray Combo, Media Card Reader, 8 Channel Sound
802.11a/c Wireless LAN + Bluetooth, Gigabit Ethernet Network, HDMI Out, USB 3.0, Windows 7 Home Premium
Keyboard & Mouse, 1 year North America Warranty
http://slickdeals.net/f/6714460-asus-desktop-pc-intel-core-i7-4770-16gb-ddr3-1tb-hdd-blu-ray-wireless-ac-nvidia-gtx-650-windows-7-free-sennheiser-momentum-headphones-850-ar-free-shipping-newegg

Swap the 650 for your 770 (Another similiar thread provided a MSI OC'd 770 for $30 cheaper http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-n770tf2gd5oc ) , sell the 650 on ebay for $100 (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=1GB+nVidia+GeForce+GTX+650+GDDR5&_sop=1) and according to here (http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/introducing-the-geforce-gtx-770) there will be no need to change the PSU.

849.00 after $50.00 rebate card, - $100 for GTX650 + $319.99 for 770 = 1067

Still can buy the BenQ GL2450HM 60Hz 24.0" Monitor $169.99
Cooler Master CM Storm Devastator Gaming Bundle Wired Gaming Keyboard w/Optical Mouse $29.99

Roughly $1267 total then and your 16GB i7 OCd 770 based system for $300 less then your quote.

Forgot to mention im Norwegian and we got taxes and expenses on everything.... So to import such small items will cot a lot of money to get in to the country 🙁 And almost every part that i have tested in a "pricehunt" page have costed more here, but ill cheeck out what you have posted 😀 Thank you all for the great response 😍

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Your welcome.

 

[duskysupermine]

The graphics card dosent exist in my country so i took this one: Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 Is this a good choise and btw the powersuply is redilusly(Yeah whatever) overpriced so is it possible to give me another PSU tip :?

 

[Tom Tancredi]

770 does need more then 300Watts (see my link in my post) per specs. I suggested the other one because it is OC and cheaper then the one originally suggested.

 

[duskysupermine]

yeah but i cant get it in Norway D:

 

[duskysupermine]

THANK YOU! And i am still stuck with a price problem, i have made a litte shopping cart now but in my currency this will cost a TINY bit too much pluss it dosent have a PSU so anyone know if these part are compatible? I also wonder if there are anything can can change on the setup to make is less expensive so i can add a PSU? And i know nothing about them so if you remake the setup please add a PSU 😀 OH i forgot to insert the setup, i have changed it a litttle it 😛

It dosent need to be cheaper thats the perfect price but it it need a powersuply to 😀

 

[DonQuixoteMC]

The 550W XFX is good. Is that PSU not available in your country?

Check out the EVGA 600B if that's the case.

That's the one!

But my budget is pretty much perfect now but if you know how i can save up to a hundred bucks that would have been cool

Well if you want to adhere to a budget without hurting gaming performance, I'd remove the SSD from the build. They're nice to have, but won't help you with gaming.

If gaming is secondary, I'd recommend switching to the lower response time AOC monitor (or something similar in your country) that SR-71 Blackbird recommended. If you still need more money shaved off, and you don't care about getting a great gaming platform, you could get the GTX 760 instead of the 770. I personally would not go this route. I would get rid of the SSD first.

You could get a worse CPU and save maybe $30 by switching to a Non-K haswell. Also not recommended over dropping the SSD.

Other than small savings here and there, the big changes have been spoken for. My recommendation still lies with cutting the SSD from the build. It's what I would do.

Gaming is first! But i asked my friend today what GPU he use and it turns out he uses a Gtx GeForce 670! And he runs almost every game on the best graphics. So do i really need a better GPU than 760?

 

[DonQuixoteMC]

Even with today's games at 1080p, the GTX 770 outperforms the GTX 760 by a good margin. Just think about futureproofing and how much easier it will be to add an SSD later instead of dropping $300+ on a GPU upgrade.

Also, I saw in the original post that you wanted to overclock, you can't safely do that without a better cooler, so hold off on overclocking. Don't worry about it though, it's a marginal performance increase and it's a super easy upgrade later. You're not missing out on anything.

But you mean i will be able to run games well with a 760? Can the GPU be overclocked? But what do you mean by:

You mean that i dont need to overclock my CPU?
And btw i have changed my setup a bit:
CM STORM DEVASTATOR
Turtlebeach PX22
CM Hyper Evo 212
Intel Core i5-4670K
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB¨
Toshiba DT01ACA200 64MB 2TB
Asus Geforce GTX770 2GB
Corsair Carbide Series 30RD Midi-Tower
BenQ GL2450E
G.Skill TridentX DDR3 PC19200/2400MHz CL10 2x4GB
Microsoft WINDOWS 7 Home
ASRock Z87 Extreme 4 Intel Z87 4xDDR3 SLI CrossFireX Socket 1150 ATX
XFX ProSeries 750W Modular PSU

 

[DonQuixoteMC]

The 770 is a good deal better than the 760.

I meant you shouldn't cut costs elsewhere to afford a cooler for overclocking. The performance gains aren't worth the initial investment. It is a nice upgrade option later, however.

If the build you just listed is within your budget, go for it!

 

[duskysupermine]

Thank you! Im not going to mark that as awnserd because i need to check the price for the setup ONE more time
