Advice on this gaming build

[ShiMaNo3X]

Hello everybody,

It's been 3 long years since I conjured my last build and I made some silly mistakes which I hope I can avoid making this time around.

This are the following specs for an non-o/c rig:

ASUS Sabretooth Z87 + Intel 4770K (stock cooler)
Corsair Vengeance Pro 1866MHz 16GB x 2
Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD
Seasonic X series 750W
Asus GTX780 Direct CU II 3GB
Fractal Define R4 Case

I will need some advice on 27" monitors as well. I'm also open to any suggestions on changing this setup!

Dont need the z series for mobo and k series for cpu if not oc ing get the msi b85 g43 gaming and i5 4570 instead
1600mhz for ram is enough

I forgotten to mention that I do a lot of photo editing on my PC.

Ohokay the ram is good just that 1600mhz ram and 1866mhz the diff is not noticable since you do alot of photo editing get the i7

If you don't plan on OC-ing get a B mobo and a non-k i7 (for your photo editing)

If you're a data backup freak like me (learnt my lesson after 2 dead HDD), get a H mobo for onboard RAID capability.

If you have the money to spare, do a RAID 10 (also known as a RAID 1+0) and you would get blazing fast speed hehe.

Haha @royfrosty am I right here? I think I came a long way from last week.
