I have an option to shift my HAF 912 plus /AX850W/H80/3570K/Z77/16GB 2400mhz Ivysetup for £700 in favour of a new build and im tempted to go for it and fully watercool my cpu with one of the ocuk tech labs setups.

CPU Intel Core i7-4770K 3.50GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail

MOBO Asus Z87-PLUS Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard

Ram TeamGroup Vulcan GOLD 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-17100C11 2133MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLYD316G2133HC11ADC01)

PSU Corsair Professional Series AX 860W '80 Plus Platinum' Modular Power Supply (CP-9020044-UK)

CASE Corsair Carbide 540 High Airflow ATX Cube Case - Black

Cooling XSPC RayStorm 750 AX360 WaterCooling Kit

Total : £1,004.89



I have a BD drive,GTX 580,Raid 0 SSD's/Soundcard/Network card/Monitor/Mouse and keyboard already which im not selling.



Is there anything i might need apart from what i have listed? And What do people think of the Motherboard and ram for big overclocks as i need a PCI slot and its the only Z87 with PCI :/

A cpu that will work with the motherboard would help :p

PSU can be dropped down to 750w unless or less if you dont want to run dual gpu's.


But your current system is fine.

LOL yea 4770k is Haswell bit of a typo there and im fine with the AX860W as i may in future go SLI.I happy with the PSU im more concerned with the ram and motherboard stopping me from going 4600mhz with a watercooled 4770K.Im also looking to run the ram at 2400mhz too.

Ive noticed its similar to the Goldrush 4.4ghz system OCUK sell except they use 8GB of vulcan ram with a Asus Pro instead of Plus.
