Hey. Im going to build a gaming computer soon so will these parts fit together?
Parts :
CPU : Intel Core i5 4670K 4x 3.40GHz So.1150 BOX
GPU : 2048MB Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 Windforce 3x OC Aktiv PCIe 3.0 x16
HDD : 2000GB Seagate Desktop HDD ST2000DM001 64MB 3.5 "(8.9cm) SATA 6 Gb / s - HDD
PSU : 600 Watt Corsair CX Series Modular 80 + Bronze
MOTHERBOARD : Asus Z87-A Intel Z87 ATX DDR3 Dual Channel So.1150
RAM : Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR3-1600 DIMM CL9 Dual Kit

Will these work? Will be getting a SSD later on to this build.
 
Yes, it looks good. If you intend to overclock, you will probably want a 120mm aftermarket cooler. I use and recommend the Xigmatek Gaia over the more frequently parroted but slightly inferior Hyper212 EVO, which costs more:

Unlike the Hyper212 EVO (ignore the URL; it IS the EVO they tested), the Gaia never throttled, although it wasn't always the coolest depending on the fan used. Both got awards, but the Gaia is usually cheaper as well, making it the better choice.
The Gaia recently had its price jacked to be much closer to the EVO, but NZXT now has a similar product that is much cheaper. If I were buying today, that's probably the one I'd get. The 1C-3C difference among these coolers isn't worth paying 20%-30% more.
 
Thanks for the answers so far. Will be buying a BitFenix Shadow MidAtx case. And I will be buying a Z87-A but putted a wrong name, gonna edit that soon. Don't know what brand makes good power supplys besides corsair. Any suggestions?
 
How long will the processor last if I overclock it to 4.0 Ghz?


 
Overclocking the CPU to 4.0GHz should not measurably shorten its life.
Not all Corsair PSUs are all that great. Most of the "CX" line, for example, is built with some inferior Samxon capacitors that don't like heat and are known for early failure. A PSU built by Seasonic (e.g. their own, XFX) or Superflower (their own, or Rosewill Capstone and Kingwin Lazer) would be better. Here's a nice reference: http://www.johnnylucky.org/power-supplies/psu-recommendations.html
 


Thanks for the answer. Will this power supply be good? : http://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/650-Watt-Thermaltake-Smart-Series-Modular-80--Bronze_774595.html Its in german :)
 


Highly rated Brands: Antec, Enermax, EVGA, Raidmax, Seasonic, Thermaltake, XFX.

I've purchased for my own use Antec, Raidmax, Seasonic and Themaltake, I prefer the Thermaltake but that is just me.
 


I've had very good luck with Thermaltake. What are they selling the 750w version for in your area? It depends on the model for Raidmax I have several running at home w/o issue. I think they have different OEM make them for them. It always pays to check the feedback on the models your interested in.

johnnylucky.org is a good resource not a lot of websites on the subject, +1 Omus
 

Yep! Heres a link. http://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/750-Watt-Thermaltake-Smart-Modular-80--Bronze_792271.html
 


I'm not familiar with that model but the part number seems similar to the one I bought recently SP-750M. That could be because I'm in the US and I'm thinking your in Germany so our power is different. Here is what I'm using:

I think that is the same!
 


Well that model has worked flawlessly for me. Good luck on what ever you decide to buy. I wish you and yours a very happy Holiday Season.
