Hello,i'm going to be building my own computer and was wondering what people think about this build, i will be using the computer to play a few games, video editing and running multiple programs at once. I will also be running the computer with dual monitors and on windows 7 ultimate. It would be great to get feedback of what you guys think and if i should make any improvements.

Thanks

Everything here works out great! The only thing that I HIGHLY suggest is to get a CPU cooler, the i7 gets so hot that it is necessary. Even if it is a light task it tends to spike in temps. Without one most idle temps are in the high 50's

Are you thinking a closed water cooler or a fan? If water cool I would suggest an h100i from corsair. If fan cooled I would suggest buying a good heat sink or just a cheap one from cooler master then buying 2 noctua fans to replace the cooler master fan and add one more. Noctuas are soooo quiet.

I like what I see mostly until I saw the GPU your getting, I would invest in a 780ti or a 770 superclocked..

I think everything is alright, I get 2xRIPJAWS instead (RAM).

To the person suggesting a cooler for the i7, it is not necessary. This is because OP has chosen a board which doesn't support overclocking so he'll be running his unlocked processor on stock speeds, so the stock cooler will do fine.

If you want to overclock OP you'll need a Z87 or Z97 motherboard.

I don't have a preference or an idea so whichever you would recommend is best

Odd, I do have the 4770k but I don't over clock and I was idling at around 57 Celsius and then got up to high 60's low 70's in a game of league of legends. When I tried star citizen I was getting to the 80's.
