New build for gaming/future proofing

Hey everyone... Building a new comp and wanted everyones thoughts on the build. Its my first build but i plan to have it for a few years (hopefully).

1 x Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I73770K
1 x XFX Double D FX-785A-CDFC Radeon HD 7850 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
1 x ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
1 x CORSAIR Professional Series HX850 (CMPSU-850HX) 850W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
1 x CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model CMZ16GX3M2A1866C10R
1 x Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive - OEM
1 x SAMSUNG 830 Series MZ-7PC128B/WW 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
1 x CORSAIR CWCH60 Hydro Series H60 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

I made my choices based on some good price deals/warranties along with user reviews from various sites. The gpu was between this vs 480 vs 560 ti; i settled on the 7850 because i read that it was a very stable and effecient card that did not run very hot. As for the processor i was between this and the i5 3570k but just decided to splurge a lil. What do you guys think?

A couple of things...

1. You dont need an 850W PSU for a single card. Are you planning on going Crossfire?
2. 16GB is overkill, even for futureproofing. Save a few $ and get 2x4GB DDR3 1600Mhz.
3. If you go Corsair water cooling, H80 or H100 or bust.

Well i just went for the 850 because it was relatively cheaper for its efficiency under all loads. Iv also never had a liquid cooler so i wasnt sure on how much electricity it would suck but how come the h80/100 or bust? Is the h60 bad?

Also I plan on just using one card at the moment but would be open to crossfire in the future.

Not sure what this means...sorry.

H80 is much better than the H60 (we have reviewed both, see the front page).

Hey, welcome to OCF!

When trying to recommend a build to you, there's some information that's extremely helpful for us to know. If you could answer these few short questions, we'd be happy to help!

• What are you planning to do with this compuer? Please be as specfic as possible.

• What is your budget?
  
  1. Does this include a copy of Windows?
  2. Does this include peripheals (a keyboard, monitor, mouse, speakers, etc.)?
• Are you from the United States or a different country? Are you ordering from your own country or from across borders?
  
  1. Wherever you may be from, does the store that you are planning to order from have a website? It's okay if it isn't in English, we can manage.
  2. If you are from the United States, do you live nearby a Microcenter?

• Do you have any specific requests with the build?
  
  1. Do you plan on overclocking? If yes, do you have a specific goal in mind?
  2. Would you prefer the build to be particularly small?
  3. Would you prefer the build to be particularly quiet?
  4. In general, do you prefer this to be a computer that you can spend money on now and let it rest, or a box built for continuous upgrading?
  5. Do you ever plan on utilizing NVIDIA's SLI or AMD's CrossfireX technologies? These features, with a compatible motherboard, allow a user to link multiple identical graphic cards together for added performance. In real world terms, this lets you buy a second identical graphics card down the line as a relatively cheap and easy way to gain a fairly large boost in performance. However, this requires buying a SLI/CFX compatible motherboard and PSU now, which may result in slightly higher initial cost.

Once again, thank you in advance for taking the time to answer these, and I hope you enjoy your stay at OCF!

almost like mine! but definitely get a better cooler than h60, and maybe saving some money on psu and rams which is all overkill and put the extra cash into a better graphic card?

Also don't see a case listed so I am wondering what you are doing there. Answer Knufire's signature question list and we can get you more bang for your buck
