So I've noticed, many people are getting new gaming rigs and some people suggested that we should have a topic to show them off. So here's your chance.Post...

really nice build, but I'm not sure if you forgot to mention that your processor is unlocked or not. It looks like you copy and pasted the specs. If it isn't, it makes that water block sort of pointless. Otherwise really nice build.

You wasted your money on that Cooler, you should have gone with either an H105 with a 4770K or a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO with the 4770 and invested in a better GPU. You also lost some performance by going with single-channel RAM instead of dual-channel.

Well first thing i couldn't find the 4770k which i wish i had but the price i found was double the price of the non k.
I don't have a big knowledge in water cooling and i just liked the panel of the cooler that you put in the cd rom so i bought it. Reviews were not bad about it so i just went for it. I'm gonna invest in a better gpu soon but really i paid a lot for what i have now so ill wait a bit.

What do you mean by single-channel ram and dual-channel?

Aly

You could have got the 4770k from Amazon.com it wouldnt cost you much.
Also the 1200W PSU is an overkill, but all in all nice looking rig.

Single-channel means using just one memory stick, while dual-channel means using two sticks which increases memory bandwidth- it gives you nearly 20-30% performance boost over single-channel memory.

Gives you more bandwidth, but it wouldn't effect performance in games much as far as I know. But yeah, it's just better to have dual channel.

@MrElie, your tubes are too long, make them shorter, and PCandParts has the K version for $376. If you were gonna go non K, you could have ditched the risky water cooling and the money on the board

Where did you get the 980? And price?

Also is the monitor any good? I'm thinking of buying one.

Sick build! Post some pics.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 G1 Gaming 4GB GBBR5 - http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Graphics-GV-N980G1-GAMING-4GD/dp/B00NH2D5DC - I will be getting l if you have some one coming from the USA get one much stronger compared to the 770 , and it is based on the Maxwell architecture which is more power efficient compared to the Kepler in the 7 series. Also it includes in graphics sets which will implemented in Direct X 12 the 770 -780 will run Direct X 12 but not all the features but sub features. Yes the Monitor is Good , go with the HP 23xi is Great Too .. What Are Your Desktop Specs

Wow, you must be excited :)
But why not 980 ?

tech-guru

I would go definitely with 980s - with the GTX 980 you'll also get a card that is cooler, quieter, uses less power, offers full DirectX 12 support and access to exclusive graphics settings like DSR, MFAA, TXAA, FXAA, PhysX, HBAO+, and Adaptive VSync. In SLI Even Better , even 970s more worthy thatn R8s of AMD.
