Thanks for looking..
 
It's all compatible. However, the MSI G43 does not support SLI. So change that if you are planning to add another 780ti in the future. And if you aren't, you could get a lower wattage PSU.

The case isn't the best for airflow. Have you considered the Bitfenix Ronin?
 
The WD Black is very expensive for a 2tb drive with no performance gain, 3tb drives are cheaper - unless you want the 5 year warranty.

As Fulax mentioned you can drop the PSU down.
 
Yes i have actually, and i do like the ronin. I may even buy all parts separately, just thought i'd give the hassle of overclocking for the first time over to the pro's.

Thanks for the info though mate!

Click to expand...

I thought the black was meant to be a bit faster? Would you suggest a standard seagate drive? I would prefer to have 2TB at least in my system, the SSD is for OS and a few other every day tasks
 
Actually, that bundle doesn't look great value anyway. You're paying extra for the LED fans and Corsair RAM without gaining performance. Either of these would be better:

Superior motherboard, similar RAM, slightly higher overclock, and a capable cooler.

The WD Blacks are faster, but they've still got nothing on an SSD - which is where your OS and applications will be.
 
Just overclock yourself ? Even I managed to overclock my 3570K having never done so before. It is as simple as a few clicks of the mouse.

Sli capable motherboard. A bigger 250GB SSD.
