Could probably cut the Graphics card out and get a lower wattage psu, but that's up to you

Do you have a disk drive for this?

And do you really need an $80 air cooler for your CPU? I mean I am imagining you're going to overclock... but $80 for air? I use the CM Hyper 212s and they are absolutely amazing.

I don't plan on overclocking but I do plan on having it running pretty much 24/7 running at max usage so I want to make sure it stays cool.
 
More RAM would be better in my opinion. But that's just me.
 
You want to overclock, don't you? I am assuming you do as you got an unlocked CPU+ a decent Cooler, then why the #$@* are you going with a B75 motherboard, go with Z77, so you have abilities to OC.
If you don't want to OC, go with this:

I don't know how to overclock and don't want to break anything so no I won't be overclocking. There's no way that build will run on a 430W powersupply. I'm getting the unlocked version as it's only $20 more and if I ever decide to sell this build or the cpu that will be a plus.

With no graphics card + no overclocking it should.

I've heard of people running 650 TI's on that 430 psu.


The build looks good though. CPU cooler seems pricey but I guess it's worth it if you're running 24/7. I might personally get more Ram, I dont really know when the cpu would bottleneck it though. :/ Try getting in touch with someone who has run mass bot farms on computers before?
 
It all depends on how many bots you want to run on it. It is all great saying your running a bot farm on it, but is it 4 bots running 24/7 or is it 40 bots e.t.c.

Once people know the amount of bots that you roughly want to run, then people can tell you how much cpu/ram usage they will take up.

The goal is to run as many bots as possible.
 
Ditch the cooler completely and just stick with a stock cooler. Since you will not be overclocking you will never reach anywhere near detrimental levels of heat on your CPU since the stock cooler is designed to do the job at 100% load.

Everything else looks pretty good, at that point you can add more RAM to your build with the money you save, or you can put it into buying a few Noctua NF-P12 fans, they will increase airflow while creating a really silent desktop.

Goodluck with the build.

Do you really think I'll be able to use over 16GB before I max out the cpu?

It can run on a 380W PSU if you don't OC, BTW, if you don't OC there is no diff between an i7 3770k and an i7 3770, you think it's a $20 diff, but you have to get a better motherboard to utlize the unlocked power of the 3770k. The stock fan will keep the 3770 cool @ Max usage for hours, I wouldn't go for a Noctua since you're not OCing, if you really want low temps, get a Hyper 212 EVO/Plus.

Agree with some of this. I would really push for the 212 though. It will definitely help with keeping it a bit cooler and Ivy can get pretty damn toasty. I would also suggest getting some Arctic Silver and use that over the thermal paste that comes with it. Stock Intel cooling does alright, but if you're going to be running it at full load as much as you can, you'll be hitting the high 90's easily. Of course, it also depends on the ambient temp in your house too.
 
You might as well get more ram to keep everything running smoothly. If you do get a third party thermal paste I recommend IC diamond 7 thermal paste 0 curing time and gives better performance than ac5 from my experience. If you aren't keen on getting 32gbs of ram then I recommend getting better fans to replace stock ones.
