Hi guys and girls,

Just want to do a quick specifications check. I won't be purchasing this week so it's more to check if the products are good/work well/a general check.

Main Uses: Gaming, Programming, Video editing (I'll get another hard drive after) and just general stuff.

Case: Corsair 800d
Motherboard: Gigabyte UD5H (with the Wi-Fi board)
Processor: i7 3770k (Retail)
Graphics: Gigabyte GTX 670 Windforce 3x
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB)
Power Supply: Corsair HX750
SSD: Crucial M4 128GB
Optical Drive: Cheapest Possible/May install Windows of a Mem stick
OS: Windows 7 64Bit OEM
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster S24A300B
Mouse: Logitech G400
Keyboard: Microsoft X4

A few questions on top..

1) Will everything work? Any known bugs with the above combination? Are the products good? I've done a lot of research into this so hoping they are.

2) I already own a Retail version of Win 64 on my lappy that I bought when it was cheap. Now ideally, I want the Retail version on the new build and put the OEM on the lappy. Can I switch the keys on the laptop without reinstalling everything?

3) I aim to watercool once I've saved up (and therefore overclock). Is it a good starting point? The Windforce uses a 680 PCB afaik so getting a block for it should be easy.

4) Is that monitor any good? It was one of the items I was unsure with.

Thanks in advance. Like I said, aim to buy soon but not this week so don't bother with finding products that are cheaper today and so on. It's just a general spec check.

Cheers peoples! :D

1) It'll all work, some very nice kit there :)
2)Should be possible, Right Click "Computer" > Properties. Then at the bottom it says "change product key"
3)Was gunna say get a cooler, if you're watercooling seems good!
4)Had no experience with it to be honest. Not sure if this is cheaper for a reason?
