    I have started my first build and have been lurking for a few months here picking up tips. The main purpose of the build will be for gaming. I've bought some components.

    Case: Corsair 230t
    PSU: Corsair AX760
    Cooling: Corsair H60 Hydro Series
    and a basic optical drive for older games which I have a collection.
    I have the peripherals, keyboard, mouse and a poor monitor but i doubt ill have the funds for that now, maybe in a month or two.

    I plan on getting Windows 8 from RSS

    I plan on overclocking and I've the rest of the components in the basket. Im wondering if they are compatable/recommended. As is, I am stretching the budget. I've ran these through Geizhals, I'm basically wondering if I'm overspending in unnecessary areas?

    Basket:
    Intel Core i5-4670K Box, LGA1150 €194.81
    Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 3, Sockel 1150, ATX €120
    8GB-Kit Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 MHz CL9 €72.80
    Samsung SSD 840 EVO Basic 250GB SATA 6Gb/s €110.45
    MSI N770 TF 2GD5/OC Twin Frozr Gaming, GeForce GTX 770, 2GB GDDR5, 2x DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort €270.89

    Total: €775.94 incl shipping

    This to be honest is the limit really in terms of budget, just wondering am I overkilling in the wrong areas? And are any of these components bad? Despite having read several reviews I've heard people lie on the internet so wanted another opinion! I could easily be making a ridiculous mistake somewhere too as its my first proper build! Any advice would be appreciated!
