Do you even lift?

You could buy a more expensive GPU and PSU, and 8Gb instead of 16Gb, just by taking an i5-4670k instead of this i7, It's very good build but where is the SSD? you could get a more better performance PC for same money if spending less on CPU and RAM. I mean if I get an expensive PC like that I would choose another part, with an 780 at least, you could fit it, but it's just my opinion.

I'd say go with an i5 then get a better GPU + a SSD.

Bad cooler. Stay away from it.

4770 without k if u wont overclock plus this rig cries for a SSD, plus shitty cooler as mentioned above, go with Noctua NH-U14S

Is 16gb ram overkill? Also if you are going with such a hugh end build, why not have an SSD boot drive? The SSD alone is awesome.

I would get a bit more power on the PSU. Just in case you decide to SLI later on. Would recommend a good 750W. Doesn't have to be much more expensive. BeQuiet is decent enough, I would probably pick a XFX or Seasonic (same thing as XFX, just differently labeled :P)

I must say I'm surprised to see you spend this much and not get an SSD.

just in case: which SSD-manufacturer would you recommend ?

Go with i5 and better GPU, you don't really need 16GB. What is CPU fan? You mean CPU cooler? You can go with Cooler Master 212 EVO. If you want, you can get like 64 or 120GB SSD for the system, the system will be really fast with SSD.

I also saw you like "silent"? You better get your system cooler, but silent... And that case don't really have good cable management or good cooling in it. (I don't know about the cooling since I only see it on picture...)

i would recommend you to buy 2x 1TB HDDs if one dies you dont lose all your data

i give it a 10/10 builds

9/10 add another HDD and I'll think about it.... something fast.

10/10 for video editing

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know how this turned out. I very stuck with the build i mentioned in the OP but added a SSD (Samsung 840 Pro 128GB).

• Intel Core i7-4770K (CPU)
• MSI Z87-G45 Gaming (Mainboard)
• MSI N760 TwinFrozr 2GD5/OC (GPU)
• 16GB-Kit Corsair Vengeance (LP) PC3-12800U CL9-9-9-24 (RAM)
• be quiet! STRAIGHT POWER E9 580W (PSU)
• FRACTAL DESIGN Define R4 PCGH Edition (Case)
• Samsung 840 Pro 128GB (SSD)
• WD Caviar Black 2TB (HDD)
• be quiet!Dark Rock Pro 2 (CPU-Cooler)

Everything is fine Im having no problems at all. It is a very silent build, CPU and GPU run at 29°c in idle. Under load both dont pass 60°c.

If you got any questions about the build feel free to ask.

Thanks for your help!

You are not giving yourself much upgrade options at 580w. Up the power supply so that if you want to add a raid or second gpu in the future you can.

I dont understand why people always go for OC-able components. If you just want to do some gaming, you don't need OC and you can ge away with the pc cheaper that way.
Also, if you want a silent system, drop the caviar black, or better yet, drop WD for good, cause they are noisy as hell(afaik), and caviar black is the fastest in the series but it sacrifices stability and noise.

16 GB Ram is an overkill for gaming (8 is more than enough) and you can add more later, it's easy peasy.

And if you want to stick to an OC platform, it would be best to increase the PSU.

Forgot to rate it, 9/10.
Overall it's an awesome build and i doubt you will have any problems with it (performance wise),it will hold up nicely for the next couple of years.
