SOLVED New Build

[steamycarl87]

Hey there,

I'm thinking of piecing the following hardware together but am wondering what sort of performance I can realistically get out of it:

Video Card: EVGA GTX 780 ACX 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 SLI Support Dual FTW w/EVGA ACX Cooler
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4
CPU: i7 4820k
Cooling: Noctua NH-D14 SE2011
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB
Case:Cooler Master HAF X - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with Windowed Side Panel and USB 3.0 Ports
PSU: SeaSonic X Series X-850 (SS-850KM3 Active PFC F3) 850W ATX12V v2.3 / EPS 12V v2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL8Q-16GBZM
Screen: ASUS VG248QE Black 24" 144Hz 1ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight LCD 3D Monitor

I'm thinking of adding another GTX 780 in the mix for SLI as well.
Do you guys have any recommendations or critiques that would help me along the way?

Thanks!

Any reason for the 4820K over the 4770K?

 

[steamycarl87]

No reason in particular but I have the budget to expand a bit so I figure why not?

Because, unless you're going to the 4930K, the 4770K performs better.

Ah, I see. Ok, I'll definitely keep that in mind. How does everything else look?

Everything else looks great, you could drop to a 750W PSU if you're never going for water cooling.
Don't drop the PSU quality though, you have an excellent unit.

Just remember to swap the motherboard and cooler for the 1150 stuff with the 4770K.

I would keep the NH-D14 though, its an awesome cooler.
