Before buying all this, I just wanted to ask what you think? could anything be changed to something better?

total price of:
2000 USD
1500 EURO

prices in Denmark are expensive, but anyways..

i'd lose the i7 unless you NEED hyperthreading... thats the only benefit of the i7 over the i5.. and more than likely you won't use it

Get a z87 mobo since you have a k series cpu

if you can get a 550-650 corsair M series for cheaper than that 750.. get that

unless you are running VMs or multiboxing like hell I'd suggest getting only 8 gigs of ram.... anything higher is pointless


everything else is good.

it's a PC for a friend of my brother :)

he is most likely going to be playing the new BF4 and other new games. and Guild Wars 2 and other MMO's..

So I should just get a i5 cpu, lower the RAM to 8 GB, get a new mobo, and a PSU with less Watt?

Should I get water cooling, or something different to cool the CPU?

Unless he is going to OC you don't need one... if you want to get one for him

evo212 is a good air


closed loops aren't necessary but they sure do look nice imo :)

3570k is the last gen... 4670k is the newest gen :)

2500k - Sandy

3570k - Ivy

4670k - Haswell

Haswell is the newest :)



And that build looks good :)


Ram is ram... 99.99% of all ram is lifetime warranty.. brands dont matter IMO
