Why are you using 2400MHz RAM? Very unstable.
I wouldn't overpay on that case, get a Corsair, Fractal Design, or NZXT.
Don't use all those fans! Normals cases have enough, what are you going to do, have a rocket fuel powered reactor next to your computer?
Don't overpay for Razer.
You don't need a 144Hz monitor, trust me.
Get Windows 8.1. It's better for gaming.
You are overpaying for that optical drive.
Why aren't you getting an SSD?
At least get a 770 Ti.

This is my current build, it works like a dream. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/CircuitSoft/saved/4cLn


2400 Mhz RAM can be very good in some situations but is actually a detriment for gaming. There is no 770 Ti, at this price range he should be getting the 780 Ti.


I mistyped. I meant 780 Ti.

There is just so many things wrong with this build that I can't even.
Some advice: Don't get Windows 7 ultimate. Go with Windows 8 or Windows 7 not ultimate basically no difference. Don't get the i7-4770k get an i5 4670k. Get rid of that HDD just get a cheaper one. Or just get an SSD. You can get a cheaper monitor with the same stuff. You could spend less and get a better deal on the Power supply. ETC

Also, you got a 4GB card, when you only have 1 monitor? Any reason for that? And you don't need 1050, that's money wasted? More power doesn't mean more performance...

574rd My rig is near close to his, I don't use liquid cooling and I have 7 fans. It's probably way better than yours. Liquid cooling is a pain in the beep to set up, if you are just going to ask him why he bought everything on his computer you are the troll.

You don't understand what he is saying, OP is paying way more than he should be paying. My build, with 2 780's, is cheaper than this. Windows 8.1 looks like 7, and runs faster, and "ultimate" OS's are not as good. It won't even be supported as long as the others.
MicrosoftWindows 7 Ultimate contains all of the same features as Windows 7 Enterprise, but unlike the Enterprise edition, it is available to home users on an individual license basis. Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional users are able to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate for a fee using Windows Anytime Upgrade if they wish to do so. Unlike Windows Vista Ultimate, the Windows 7 Ultimate edition does not include the Windows Ultimate Extras feature or any exclusive features as Microsoft had stated. However, even though it is the consumer equivalent to Enterprise, Microsoft will only support Ultimate until 2015, as per Home Premium.

My rig is this: http://pcpartpicker.com/b/MBy

Almost the exact same right? I'm talking about how his case is overkill unless he plans for custom watercooling. I have half the amount of RAM, which is all you'll need for gaming currently, and I also have an SSD for $600 less. Almost every part on his computer, I could find something just as good for half the money. Please do not accuse me of being a troll when I am trying to help someone manage their budget better.

Why are you paying $200+ for a full tower case with no custom water cooling loop?
Why are you buying a 1050 watt power supply?
Why are you paying $100+ for a Blu Ray optical drive when there are some for <$60?
Why are you purchasing Windows 7? and Ultimate at that??
Why are you paying $100+ for a 1Tb hard drive? And no SSD?
Why are you purchasing a 4770k if you aren't using 3D modeling or CAD work?
You will not need that many fans.


You are WAY overpaying for a rig with only 1 770.

This is the rig with the monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I like it says its purly for gaming. I can always put another drive in. i want the highest quality. windows 7 ultimate is boss 8 sux. I like to play for a while each sitting so yes i do need a lot of fans since my computer now always overheats. 1050w so i can put the most power into it and not worry about not having enough power. good point on the single 770 but i might up it to dual SLI in the future

Please be a troll. If you are serious, to begin: Just because it costs more doesn't mean it's better or higher quality. It's fine if you don't like windows 8, but ultimate OS's are useless. The reason your computer overheats now is probably because it's a prebuilt with no airflow, if I am wrong, so be it. It is good that you want more wattage, but you will never put 1050 watts into that rig so you are overcompensating, for SLI 770's you will only need 850 watts. You also didn't explain why you're paying so much for a case.

It seems like you just browsed the lists casually and picked the first relatively expensive thing you could find.
