Needs help to build a PC

[vincenttms]

Hi all,

I would like to build a new rig from scratch.

Purpose:
All in one entertainment system
Mainly for programming, school work, gaming, videos, surfing.

Parameters that I rank :
1.Affordability
2.Stability of system
3.Room for upgrades in the future (after 2 years)
4.The look good factor (casing)

Would really appreciate any help from you guys.

Some of the specs/parts I already have in mind:

CPU: Intel i7 4790K
CPU Cooler : ???
MOBO: Asus Maximus VII Ranger
Graphics Card : Asus GTX770 2GB DC II OC DDR5
SSD: Samsung 840 PRO 256GB SATA3
HDD: WD Black 7200rpm 2TB
RAM: 8 GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 1600MHz CL9
PSU: ???
Chasis: ??? (CM Storm Enforcer w/Window USB 3.0) ???
OS: Win 7

Sorry for the lack of research here.
Please do advise if these specs are feasible.
Is there any parts that I should actually spend less and invest more in other parts? ie. GPU
I intend to do a little bit of OC with this rig.

DDR3 cannot mix with DDR4. Also, that mobo cfm cannot support DDR4, you would need to change mobo and/or cpu again...

You no need go until vengeance pro 1866mhz, super expensive. Normal vengeance 1600mhz will do, or even the low profile ver.

Since gt SSD le, no need WD black bah, blue will do. Or even purple is acceptable.

Asus 770 is quite ex. You can probably go for giga/msi 280x. Or you can try the ASUS 290 DCII at $519 (That is if still gt stock.).

Case is personnel, but i prefer the r4.

For psu, no need till 750w unless u wnana try SLI/xfire, in which you would need at least 850w, considering that you wanna OC your cpu as well. if not, 650w for single gpu is fine. CM new V series, seasonic G or X series, superflower leadex gold and corsair RM are all fine choices.
