Plan to build system tell me what you think

- Intel Core i7-4820K Ivy Bridge-E 3.7GHz (Turbo 3.9GHz) LGA 2011 130W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80633i74820K

- ASUS Sabertooth X79 LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

- EVGA 04G-P4-2768-KR GeForce GTX 760 4GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support SC 4GB w/ EVGA ACX Cooler Video Card

- NZXT HALE90 V2 NP-1GM-0850A 850W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active@0.99(Typically) ...

- G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9Q-16GBRL

- Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm PWM Fan

I plan on using my old HD and disk drives. The specific questions I have are A) Does any one see any compatibility issues? B) is the PSU I selected overkill? C) Should I go with 1833 memory instead of 1600 and D) Is this CPU cooler good enough for gaming applications or should I go with something else? Oh and if anyone is feeling in the xmas mood this does double as a wish list =)

If not thinking of SLI in the future then the 850 is a bit of OK yes, for a 760 and your Rig a 550 w/ 30 AMPs on the 12 Volt rail, yep - I'd go 1866, might look at the Snipers with your rig, 1866/9 or even 2133/9 or 10, 1600 is basically entry level, and we'll stick you on the Xmas list, think you'll fall in at number 104,372 - so there's just a few ahead of you 😉

If this is a gaming build its massive overkill on the processor and RAM , and only moderately good at 1080p gaming .

You could do much better for less

thanks for your answers I think my only option for ram is 1600 an 1866 but ill have to check to be sure and yes I plan on SLI in future. I do realize processor is overkill but that is a part that I would rather buy a cpu once and keep it till it fails instead of spending less and having to upgrade when it cant keep up with software. but again thanks for you input guys

Let us know how it goes

what do you thin of my GPU choice or 1080 gaming? Is it mediocre choice or no? If it is would running 2 cards SLI be sufficient or no because the are 256bit?

Should be OK, doubt you'll see minimum frame rate drop below 30
