New build time!

[fergie128]

Hi all,

Looking at putting together a new system for myself, I feel it is about time I moved away from my good old i7 920 rig.

I cant decide between a Z87 based around a 4770K or an X79 system based around a 4820K, and then either an Nvidia GTX 770 or ATi R9 280X.

Would also like to include a ~250gb Samsung SSD, Pro or EVO? And a Corsair 800D case.

I generally only use my system for gaming and a bit of SAS work and run a triple monitor setup, not Eyefinity, just extended desktop.

I'm leaning towards a Z87 with a 4770K, 16GB memory and a GTX 770. But any thoughts would be cool!

Thanks

Yes, sorry I forgot about that.

I will be using my Corsair HX1000 and do not require any other SATA drives.

I was just looking at the GTX 770's just now, and noticed there are 4gb versions for only a little more. I was looking at buying a 2gb superclocked EVGA card, but would it be worth going for a 4gb instead?

The negative review has put me off slightly however.

I budgeted for about £1300 in total.

Also, should I be going for the Pro or the Evo Samsung SSD?
