Solve : My First Ever PC Please HELP!?

Answer»

Hey guys not sure if this is the right place to put this at all, if a mod sees this please feel free to move it.
So basically I'm going to be making my own custom built PC. I've done a fair bit of research on this so I'm not totally clueless ( well maybe I am for a lot of it) but the part I struggle on is the compatibility part. This is where I would like for you guys to come in and suggest better things if they are not compatible or confirming they are and if the power supply cannot handle what the PC will need, which one should I get? Any help is appreciated thank you very much!!

Here's the list I made

Processor - Haswell i7-4770k
Video Card - ASUS GTX 770
Mother Board - Asus Maximus VI Hero
Power Supply- Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 750
CPU Cooler - Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler
Case - CM Storm enforcer
Hard DRIVE - 2TB WD Red
OPTICAL Drive - ASUS Black 18X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM

Cheers,
ThomasThat looks good, everything should be compatible (You are just missing RAM).

Just a few pointers:

  • You do not have an SSD in that list, for a build like that a SSD is a really good idea, something like a Samsung 840 Pro/Evo would be a great option here
  • That power supply is great but you would be fine with 650w, you may also want to consider a 'modular' unit as you can disconnect any cables you aren't using which makes it easier to keep the inside of the case neat.
  • If this machine is mainly for GAMING and depending on your budget you may also want to consider DROPPING the CPU down to an i5 4670k and using the money you save to get a better graphics card as this should BENEFIT gaming more.
