Just about to order up this spec. It's main use is for music production (CPU dependant) and gaming. Posted about a week ago and changed some things from the suggested builds people were kind enough to give me.

Just wanting to check that everything will work together before I hit the order button. Appreciate any help given.

Apologies for the second thread - currently building two systems.
 
Technically no, but you may as well get the 4770 if you won't overclock. It'll still be much quieter though, even if you buy a £20 one.
 
I'd take the U3 version of the Z9 myself but a modular PSU really is a must in both of them. IPS panels aren't ideal for gaming, they are better for photo editing etc.

THIS case might be preferable with it's sound proofing, it can still take a 240mm rad for cooling like the Ronin. The Z9 can't use these large CLCs
