suggestions for game-pc

[rickios]

hey everyone,
I know it's christmas but I wanted to ask you a question.
I am going to order my game-pc today, but I thought maybe you can suggest some different components or share your experience with the components I picked.
this system is primarily for gaming but also my all round system so also a little editing and school work music movies etc..
here is the list of my components:
case-CM storm enforcer (€73)
cpu-i5 4670k (€193)
mobo- ASrock z87 extreme 3 (€99)
ram-crucial ballistix tactical 2x 4gb (€67)
cpu cooler- Cooler master hyper 412s (€34)
gpu- msi gtx 770 2 gb (€280)
HDD-Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB (€53)
SSD- samsung 840 EVO 120 gb (€84)
psu-Corsair CX Series Modular CX600M (€62)
fan control - Scythe Kaze Q8 KQ02-SL (€15)
total=€945,-
my budget is €950
I am going to get them from www.azerty.nl
All suggestions are welcome.
tnx and merry christmas!!!

go for the as rock z87 extreme4 instead of extreme3 (that is a much better board and has got good vfm)

also if you can find the xfx pro 550w psu (much better than the corsair cx series psu s)

the extreme 4 is €25 more expensive so that one really doesn't fit in my budget and about the psu, maybe its a little better, but the xfx is not modular and has 50W less, so it will be on almost full load all the time with the fan spinning loud.
and have you ever had any experience with ASrock mobo's?

xfx pro 550w has +12V@44A, while the Corsair CX600M has+12V@46A. 24W does make any difference. XFX oem is seasonic (tier 1) while CX600 oem is CWT (tier 3)

24W what's up with 24W? were does that come from?

 

[siddharthmukul007]

this is how you calculate the actual wattage of a psu.

voltage multiplied by the ampere it can provide.

12V X 44A = 528W (XFX)
12V X 46A = 552W (corsair)

oh tnx didn't knew that, only the xfx is not modular so maybe you can suggest another in the 5-60 euro's price range above 550 W in tier 1 or 2??
much appreciated

i am so sorry...no modular psu in that price range

then i'll stick with the corsair, since I will only do small OC's like 10% and the first year, I will not even OC anything and tier 3 is pretty solid.
but tnx for the effort!
and is it really necessary that I take the extreme 4, because a 4+2 power phase should handle i5 4670k fine right? or do you have other experiences with that?

 

[siddharthmukul007]

for a 10% oc the extreme3 will be fine.
