    Hi all,

    I am a looking for a build around the 800-850 mark with an easy upgrade path. I been on a few websites a found a build guide I like and I was wondering what you guys think of the all the parts and if you change it in any way let me know. here are the parts:

    RAM - 8GB-Kit G.Skill Ares PC3-12800U CL9-9-9-24
    CASE - Antec One, ATX
    Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - Intel/AMD
    Video Card - EVGA GeForce GTX 760 SuperClocked AX, 2GB DDR5, PCI-Express
    CPU - Intel Core i5-3570K Box, LGA1155
    Moterboard - MSI Z77A-G43, Intel Z77, ATX, DDR3
    Power supply - Thermaltake Berlin 630W
    Hard drive - WD Caviar Green 1TB, SATA 6Gb/s

    Total comes out to about 800 euro.

    I look forward to hearing your suggestions :)

    The G43 is a poor overclocking motherboard as you can't change the voltages on the CPU core.

    As for the PSU... you could do better than that. Go for increased quality and lower max watts.

    Finally, the hard drive. The green drives are fine for storage etc., but they're a bit slower than the standard. I'd be inclined to see if I could fit an SSD in there... maybe even switch to an AMD build to fit it in.
