These are the parts I'm going to get, how do they look? i dont really plan on changing the parts too drastically, since I've been on the steam forums and have already gotten lots of help, and im pretty sure its all fine. But if anyone has any alternatives like a better part for cheaper im prepared to listen.Im not going to spend any more money than im planning to, im pushing over budget already as it is.
if you can spare abround 100-150 dollars go with the 670, and Considder the 760 as well or look into amd options, really the world is your oyster.
ADVICE: if you have an aftermarket cooler, if it is large enough some are considdered 2 person installation jobs(mine was but no one was around to help me :(, coolermaster v6 gt cooler)
if you have ocd hiding cables is a must, and if you want to have good organization and airflow organise that rats nest of cables. If you dont some people will think you dont care about your machine(or it will set off their OCD).
More leds makes your case look cool but not colder.
invest in good fans(PWM/noctua are really quite)
after market fans are a suggestion but not a necessity, although the haswell cpus are made of molten lava.
* most importantly, when you are assembling try not to get frustrated because this can lead to unessicary anger and depending on what kind of person you are can end badly. and dont touch the top or bottom of the cpu only the sides, and use the pea method for applying thermal paste.
