If you're not OC-ing anything, the 4770K is pointless; get the 4770 non-K.

Also, you'll need better RAM. Get one of those dual-channel 8GBx2 CL9 RAM kits.

i think i switch it to 4770 non k and get the dual-channel ram.

thanks for your advice.

btw any idea if pc themes will help me to sleeve the cables with like led strips and how much does it cost
