Will this computer work properly for gaming?

[Sergio627]

Hi, i wanted to know if these components would make a ultra gaming computer for gaming in 3 23" screens.

Components:

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-OC Intel Z87
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K (Unlocked) 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) 8MB BOX
CPU cooler: Corsair Hydro H110
GPU: 2x MSI's Radeon R9 290X TwinFrozr 4S OC (crossfire) (going to buy them when they hit the market)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Blue 4x4096MB (16GB) DDR3 1600Mhz CAS9 1.5
Storage: Samsung Evo 840 SSD 2.5 SATA III 250G
Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATAIII 64MB (6GB/s)
Power supply: Nox Urano TX 1050w or Corsair RM850 Modular 850W 80PLUS Gold
Case: Cooler Master HAF X
Additional: 2x BitFenix Spectre PRO 200mm Black


My questions now are:

1. Wich PSU is the better one?
2. Should i get faster RAM, like G.Skill TridentX DDR3 2x8GB 2666MHz CAS12 1.65v?
3. I'm going to oc the cpu, what's the max. speed i can get from the cpu with that cooler? or should i buy a better cooler?
4. Is the motherboard going to handle all those components?
5. Should I buy Arctic Silver 5 or put the thermal compound that comes with the watercooling cooler?

1. Where do you buy PSU?
2. Yes. 2133 or 2400MHz is good for LGA 1150 build.
3. May go about 4.8GHz. Better cooler is custom loop. Or good air cooler. Noctua S14 is good for 4.8GHz.
4. Yes. But you go with cheaper one. Gigabyte X-D3H or UD3H- OC is made for LN2 OC use. Asus PRO is good.
5. No need for that.

Where are going to put those 200mm fans?
Better SSD is sandisk ultra plus or Samsung PRO. Sandisk ultra plus 256GB is cheap and good option.
Id look G.skill memory. I do not like CM case. Maybe CM Cosmos 2 I like. And they do have new one CM 690 3
They look good to me Not my build so

1. The Corsair - not familiar w/ the Nox
2. DRAM for 16GB better with a 2x8GB than a 4x4GB - less stress on the MC and ever so slightly faster - would suggest looking at 1866 or 2133 at a minimum - Haswell loves fast sticks;

3. Totally depends on your CPU 4.5 is a reasonable OC to shoot for, though not all 4770Ks can hit it, about 70% drops to about 30% for 4.6

4. The GB mobo is pretty good, though feel Asus has a better handle on the Z87/Haswell than others, would look at their Hero, Gryphon or Pro

5. Can use the Corsair, I always use the AS5 (but unlike most I keep a couple of the big tubes around as I use it in my business 😉

Than i could change the mobo for an Asus Maximus VI Hero C2 Intel Z87, will it be better?
You saying that the Noctua NH-D14 will get me better speeds than the Corsair Hydro H110?
The 200mm fans will go to the top of the case, it has 2 spaces for them.
I think i might change the SSD to the Samsung 840 PRO SSD 128GB then.

Thanks a lot!

But will the Corsair handle the two r9 290X?
I'll go with the 2 G.Skill TridentX DDR3 2x8GB 2666MHz CAS12 1.65v then.

Thanks a lot!

Two R9 290X takes aver 820w power so 1000w or more is what you need.
This is good.

Better quality than corsair. Better reliability. Good efficiency.

Overall, this power supply performed very well. If you're only doing three way SLI or Crossfire as opposed to four-way or putting in a fourth card for dedicated Physx, this power supply is perfect. The Lightning 1300W proved to be a solid performer and seems to have what it takes to last a long time (Japanese primary capacitors, solid polymer caps on the secondary and a dual ball bearing fan). Perhaps Newegg will consider bringing the price down to $239 or put a rebate on it in the near future.

I can´t buy it because im from europe and newegg doesn't ship internationaly, even amazon doesn't has an international Rosewill psu for shipment. Is the CORSAIR HX1050W Pro Series (Modular) a good psu?

Thanks a lot!

From doing XFire w/ 290X and about everything I've seen an 850 is sufficient, about the highest full load I've seen has been 780 Watts, and you'll love the Hero, the best Z87 I've built on, did about 20 before deciding on it for my own build
