Hello, so I've become to the decision to get a new desktop and I decided to build it myself as it's cheaper and I'll be able to make it like I want it.

So I currently have this setup, I'm pretty sure it should work if I bought it all but I'd like some input first from you guys that really have alot of knowledge about custom build PC's :)
( Links are in Dutch but you should be able to figure it out )

DVD : http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/336304/samsung-sh-224db-zwart.html

Cooling : http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/355475/corsair-hydro-h75.html

Case : http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/281238/cm-storm-enforcer.html

RAM(2x) : http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/297513/corsair-vengeance-cmz16gx3m2a1600c10.html
( It is compitable with the motherboard )

Motherboard : http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/335948/msi-z87-g45-gaming.html

SSD : http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/340874/samsung-840-evo-250gb.html

HDD : http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/315368/wd-red-sata-6-gb-s-wd30efrx-3tb.html

Processor : http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/330324/intel-core-i7-4770k-boxed.html

Power supply : http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/348557/corsair-rm750.html

Could you guys please let me know if this would be a good setup? Like I'm not totally sure if the 750W power supply will be enough... Just let me know what you think! Thanks!

Get a 780ti instead of Titan, pretty much same performance, better cooling, less noise, might even be better in some games. Also, may I ask what you need 32GB of RAM for? xD I have that motherboard myself, works like a charm, easy BIOS to set things up etc. The PSU should be fine, and that cooling should do pretty well, could even do some pretty nice overclocking with it ;)

I would only suggest the Titan if youre gonna have a rig running on some 4K monitors or whatever. Also, as you are saving quite a bit of money on getting a 780ti, get one with some good cooling, so it doesn't make so much noise. Asus and Gigabyte have some pretty sweet cooling, just make sure they fit in your case ;)

I would go for an air-cooled device. Water in my system is just a bleh for me.

Also, go for a harddrive with 7,200 RPM (rotatiesnelheid) instead of 5,400, should be faster.

Edited motherboard out, Why did I say motherboard?

Yeah you need dat 7200RPM motherboard... Pretty sure a motherboard shouldn't rotate much at all, I think you'd be better off with a 7200RPM HDD :p

First of all, double posting is a no-no on these forums. Instead, edit your posts with any forgotten details.

I just don't like the idea (and the price) of a water cooled system. Water in a system filled with tens of 100's of dollars is just a no-no for me. I have a 30$ Cooler Master air cooler on my i7 3770k and it's running at a solid 25 degrees whilst gaming.

EDIT: MoLoToV After looking at your choices, I didn't see any internet adapter. Are you using an Ethernet cable or already have a USB internet adapter? You'll want to be able to connect to the internet :p Also, what OS are getting?

Damn, you must have been lucky with that chip, tried overclocking it yet?
