    Computer Advice!

    Hey, I'm quite new to the technology nowadays, but I REALLY need to upgrade my computer! So I've been thinking of building my own instead of trusting some manufactures quality. I have decided to drop around 850-900$ to build a Gaming PC. Here's what I've researched and gotten so far as my parts.

    Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I54670K

    Questions​


    1)Is my RAM compatible with my motherboard, if not what can you suggest. (although i'm pretty sure it should fit)

    2)Is the hard drive large enough to store everything?

    3)These are all the parts I'm purchasing enough to build one? Am I missing any cables/etc. that I would need to purchase?

    4) Can this motherboard fit the case? Is the case compatible with everything else?(parts wise)

    5)Is the power source (750W) enough for everything to work fine, even if i (OC) to 4.3-4.4GHz?

    I MIGHT ADD QUESTIONS(BELOW):

    You're gona still need a fan, and its highly suggested you get 1600mhz ram.
    For the hard drive yes,. For a graphics card I suggest to get GTX 660, its a powerful card for extra 25 bucks.

    What's the difference between 1333MHz and 1600MHz, is it worth the price difference?

    Tbh from my personal experience, there isn't much of a difference between 1333MHZ and 1600Mhz RAM, you won't notice it while gaming. It's only in the heavy multitasking applications or benchmarks, where you will find the difference. If the 1333Mhz Ram is significantly cheaper, then go for that instead.

    I do recommend that you go for a newer graphics card, maybe the HD7850 or GTX 660 as suggested before. The GTX 660 is slightly more powerful than the HD7850.

    You also might need an aftermarket cooling fan for the CPU. The arctic freezer 7 pro is cheap and does a good job. All your parts are compatible and should fit together. And the 600w PSU is enough for your build, I used the same one in a recent build of mine and it's performed excellently.

    Price differences are quite low.
