I'd get a 650w PSU if I was you and a hyper 212 evo would be more than capable of cooling it OC'ed and it'd save you about $50.

Is the 16GB for $35 dollars worth it?
yes
Gigabyte card? Don't do that to yourself.
And quite honestly, you don't need a 2TB HDD when you already have a 250GB SSD.
This costs just a LITTLE bit more but replaces some of the lower quality parts:

Why that overpriced motherboard?
[QUOTE=taipan;44469187]Why that overpriced motherboard?[/QUOTE]
It's not very overpriced. It's one of the best LGA1150 boards.
And if he's getting a VERY high-end CPU along with a 780 Ti, why get a cheap motherboard to throw it all on? You can't bug out on stuff like that.
motherboards dont impact performance they're mostly for features
i also noticed how you really hate gigabyte according to two different threads
sir please tell me why you think gigabyte is so awful

I never said I hate gigabyte. I just don't trust their quality. I had 2 builds that used gigabyte, one just the GPU, other GPU and mobo, and both ended up being replaced after 1-2 months of use due to failures. And no, it wasn't due to my inexperience, overclocking, or malpractice when building the rig. The GPU's are very loud. The run hot as well, despite the fact most of their cards run 2-3 fans. Their mobos seem to be lacking from my experience with them. And yes, I know the mobo has no significant performance impact, but in an analogy, you wouldn't want to put a twin-turbo 4.0L V12 @ 1100 BHP inside a family van. Not saying you couldn't do it, but it makes no sense to allocate most of your money to a particular area, and then skimp out on other crucial areas.

First of all. The 4670K is not a very high end CPU, it (together with the 4770K) is the cpu that every z87 board is meant to house. (Seriously if you put something like an i5-4400 on a z87 chipset you are an idiot)
Secondly, the Z87 chipset is already so incredibly feature rich that it doesnt really matter at all which mobo you take. They almost all have the same capabilities and speed. And differ only in sound quality and CPU power phases and stuff like dual bios/error codes/uefi quality.
Gigabyte makes great motherboards btw. They are usually regarded as being top of the line together with Asus.

While that CPU is no 4770K, it's still a very good CPU.
And like I said, I have just had bad personal experiences with them. If you have had nothing but great results, then more power to you. I have just been keen on using ASUS mobos because I have never had any problems with one and they have fantastic capability and support.
its exactly like the 4770k except it doesnt have hyperthreading
[QUOTE=Death_God;44471785]its exactly like the 4770k except it doesnt have hyperthreading[/QUOTE]
Actually no, if you look at benchmarks comparing the 2 processors, you'd see that the 4770K has a huge advantage over the 4670K. i7 has almost no advantage at all over i5 in games. The only area that i7 is superior to i5 in, is editing software and other software of the such.

Yes, because of hyperthreading. Hyperthreading is what does that.
[QUOTE=DwarfOverlord;44473758]Yes, because of hyperthreading. Hyperthreading is what does that.[/QUOTE]
Hyperthreading just gives the CPU double the amount of "Logical Cores" so things such as editing software can take advantage of. Go research it. Countless experiments have proved that hyperthreading has little to no effect in a gaming situation due to the fact majority of PC games may support multi-core CPUs, but not hyperthreading. So even though you have (if you have a quad-core i7) 8 logical cores, the game reads that you only have 4. The only games I know of the have hyperthreading support is Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, and Crysis 3.

Doesn't that mean that the 4770k is still a 4670k with slightly higher clocks and hyperthreading? Since as far as I know that's what this whole discussion is about.

Essentially, yes.
Going back to Exigent's original build, just about everything there is nice and solid, but like Npc_Hydra3 said, I'd pick a 650W or higher power supply and a Hyper 212 EVO instead of the Noctua hamburger cooler. Maybe swap out that Asus 1080p monitor @144Hz for a 1440p monitor @60Hz, but if you plan to buy and install one of those Nvidia G-Sync modules (because I recognize that monitor model, it's one of the very few compatible with G-Sync so far), then stick with that screen.

Yes that is what he is saying. You do know the 4770K Is an i7 right?
And no, games do actually read 8 cores. But because hyperhtreading is on, those cores are actually slower than when HT is off due to shared resources.
So when a game doesnt support more than 4 cores it only slows down when its using 4 HT cores instead of 4 non HT cores.
Also besides HT the i7-4770 has more l3 cache than i5's.
I've heard from multiple sources that Ivy Bridge over clocks much better, would it be more beneficial to buy an i7 3770k over a 4th gen haswell?
[QUOTE=Exigent;44480378]I've heard from multiple sources that Ivy Bridge over clocks much better, would it be more beneficial to buy an i7 3770k over a 4th gen haswell?[/QUOTE]
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the deciding factor in overclocking capability isn't the CPU's generation, it's the impurities in the silicon chip housed inside the package. You might happen to get a 3770K that overclocks better than a 4770K purely because there are less impurities in the silicon in that Ivy Bridge processor than in the Haswell one.
Ivy Bridge and Haswell are both worse at overclocking than Sandy Bridge because Intel uses a TIM paste under the processor lid instead of solder like earlier processors
Not that it's worth getting a SB processor, though
The 4770k is better than the 3770k in every single way. Maybe you're thinking of Sandy Bridge, which is a workstation card. The 4670k will give you the same performance as the 4770k but if you have the money might as well get the i7. If you get the Haf X make sure to also buy a 140mm fan filter and turn the back fan around to make it intake for better cpu cooling.
Here's my suggestion, though again, you won't really get much improved performance over the 4670k, but its up to you.

Looks really solid. Have to ask though, is the wifi adapter necessary?
I mean if he wants wifi it is, but he can buy a $10 usb one and itll be identical
The PCI express ones, I've found, give me much faster internet speeds compared to the Alfa ones I use at times.

If possible, I'd suggest you go cable rather than wifi. That's just me though.
not everyone can go cable
