Need help with a build

[BananaInsane]

Hiya, so basically I'm going to build a PC and I need help.

To start us off, here's a build I made:

Harddrive:
Seagate Barracuda® Green 2TB

CPU:
Intel® Core i5-2500K

CPU Cooler:
Noctua NH-D14

Ram:
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 2x4GB

Motherboard:
ASUS P8Z77-V, Socket-1155

GPU (Edited):
HIS Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5

PSU:
Corsair HX 750W PSU

The site is in swedish though, but thought I'd throw it in there aswell.

My goal is to run most new games on ultra-max settings. I'm sort-of new to this, so would appreciate help!

There's no reason to buy anything whatsoever from Nvidia at the moment, with the exception of the 680. AMD's cards beat them at every single price point. One could argue the 680 is a poor choice given the recent price drops.

The 7850 performs better at stock speeds than the 560 ti, and will DRAMATICALLY outperform it when overclocked. Overclocked performance on the 7850 reaches GTX 580 levels.

As far as a power supply goes look for anything made by Seasonic,XFX,Antec,Corsair and with your current setup you shouldn't need anything more then a 650 watt.

Really? Didn't know about that, thanks for informing me :P.

I actually had SLI 560 so I can buy something more powerfull than 7850 if it's just 1 card. Maybe 7950?

Corsair HX 750W PSU seems to have very good reviews!

Changed GPU and PSU. As I'm investing less on GPU, I'm thinking about an SSD instead.

Can anyone recommend me one? I think I will only use it for Windows, so it doesn't have to be very big.

I found a superior motherboard that is priced more or less the same as your MSI one:

It's based on the new Z77 chipset for the next gen intel CPUs, but is still compatible with all the current intel CPUs on the LGA1155 socket, so your i5-2500k will work fine np.

There isn't a lot different about this motherboard chipset when compared to the Z68 ones, but it is definitely worth mentioning that this one offers a bit more features than the MSI one, and should be a bit more OC friendly since it uses better circuitry and components for power delivery and everything. Even if you're not going to OC, it's just a more solid board and the price difference isn't going to murder your wallet

Is the PSU enough if I'm going to overclock my CPU and GPU?

Thanks! I think this is the build I'm going with.

Yes the HX750 is enough, you can even CrossFire those 7850 and it's still enough power.

Good stuff! Now I just need a nice computer case and I'm set.

Fractal Design Arc midi, Corsair 400R or 500R, 300R is a great case as well considering the lower price.
