my turn

Since I've done a lot of research on parts lately, I guess I can provide some feedback as well.

RAM - your ram has 2400 Mhz and CL11, if it's for gaming you're better off with 1600/CL9
SSD - Not sure what the prices are where you're buying, but Crucial MX100's are the same SSDs but slightly cheaper
Rest is more or less preference I guess. Are you going to overclock? Because if not I think you can get a cheaper mobo.

This is what I in the end went with myself, I think it's a really good price/performance ratio setup:

but crucial has half writing speed, maybe that doesn't matter?

logical increments

That website is super helpful to see things from a better perspective. Thank you much  :wink:

Nice to see how much I'd need to make my PC functional by getting some new stuff where it's needed. I could salvage the old VGA, 4GB DDR3, a cooler, HDD, maybe even case. etc

Sure it wouldn't be awesome, but it would be operational, for the time being!

Going with GTX 780 now? I was deciding between GTX 780 and R9 290, but in the end went with R9 290, because they're so-so in performance and in some cases, R9 290 is even better (higher resolutions), while R9 290 is considerably cheaper.

well, I decided to spend the rest on a second language, clothing and some whey protein.

I did that because I`m a player that cares more than the gameplay, rather than the graphics of a game (hence why I love c-rpg that much).

You contradict yourself, cRPG sucks.
Blackbow is a bad admin,he once told me sandfriend It broked all my desire from the game/forums,i felt devastated,horrible don't know how to fix it.

Seems solid polepoop.

SSD wise, Samsung evo is the best performance/price atm.
Every other brand seems to suffer from failures way too often to consider them atm.

They are getting better, but I'd just recommend samsung until I see some positive longevity data on the others.

The gtx 780 should drop in price soon.
If my sources are right, they gtx 880 should be unveiled 19th of sept. (Released a couple weeks later)

EDIT:
If you plan on 2 GPUS in the future, stick with gtx 780.
If you don't, then the R9 290 (sapphire Tri-X) will save you some money and run just as fast in most cases.

I need some help, next week I'm going to be ordering my PC parts.

I'm going to have a i5 4690k + GTX 770

Can anyone recommend a decent motherboard please also what GTX 770 do you recommend?

One last question, will the stock CPU cooler be good enough? I'm not going to overclock yet as I can't afford a decent CPU cooler.

Motherboard doesn't look aesthetic enough
