Hi all,

 

Hopefully I can get some feedback regarding the below proposed system I'm looking towards for later in the year:

 

CPU:  Intel Core i7 4770K, 3.5GHz, Haswell 8MB

MOBO:  Gigabyte GA-Z87X-DH3 Socket 1150 ATX

RAM:  Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 2400MHz

GRAPHICS:  NVIDIA GeForce GTX780 3GB

HDD:  Seagate 1TB SATA-3 7200rpm

PSU:  Corsair AX860i 860W

CPU COOLER:  Corsair H100i Liquid Cooler

CASE:  Corsair Obsidian 650D Mid Tower

 

I'm not sure about getting a SSD (size??) to put the OS (Win7 64Bit) onto with the HDD for flight sim stuff and anything else.

 

I assume the above CPU can be overclocked to 4GHz - no previous experience with overclocking.

 

Any comments about suitability or other suggestions will be most appreciated.  Many thanks in advance.

 

Cheers,

I'd change the case - I have the 650D... Not great

 

I've has issues with static discharge still can't find out where the path is, usb3 are pass through only IE no motherboard headers.

 

I had to replace the big fan within 2 years

 

The fan controller is crap

 

The side panel bulges even with cables well organized.

Get a 4790K it turbos at 4.7 ghz. Not much need to OC. An h80I would be plenty good for those speeds. Im running 4790K at 4.7ghz. 1.300VCC at 48c with an H80i.

4.4 for turbo (not 4.7) which is still great! My 2500k was at 4.4 ghz but the OC has failed and I'm at 4.2 now. I'd love to have 4.4 just at turbo.
