Is this worth buying or should I replace some parts?


Patriot Viper 3 DDR3 2x4GB 2133MHz

MSI Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt Intel Z77 LGA 1155

Intel Core i5-3570K 3,4 GHz 6MB cache s. 1155 Box

Gigabyte HD7970 3GB 384 PCI-E GDDR5 OC

Samsung 120GB SSD840 SATAIII

SilentiumPC Deus G1 600W

For optical drive i'll take the dvd i have in current rig as for the case... not sure yet but something that will fit all of that

Advices are welcomed

Thanaks

Unless you have a thunder bolt peripheral you can easily downgrade you mobo and save 40$ (thats how much TB adds)

I would recommend a cpu cooler like the Hyper 212, its cheap and you can get to 4GHz without a problem.

Why get 2133mhz memory I don't think the board support something that fast (if it does it won't say OC next to it) You can get some 1600mhz memory and still see performance within 1 percentage point and it will save you 50+$

Get the Extreme 4. Better quality do to gold caps.

Unless you have a 1440p, get a 7950 monitor. It's a monster and perfect for 1080p.

Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, usually all have very good coolers on their cards.

And burritobob was right, no need to go with the fastest RAM on the planet, you're not likely to see any difference compared to stock RAM at 1600Mhz.

well the price difference between Kingston 1600Mhz and those are more less 5$ so ... i guess that would be good deal 😉

Thank you for that guys

I think i will go with Gigabyte then
