    Building High(ish)-end gaming PC

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This is what I personally managed to conjure after reading a few articles and using the little knowledge I have about PC hardware.

    Swedish site: http://www.inet.se/kundvagn/visa/3480176/2013-06-16
    English site: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/178Cr (Direct link to case as PCpartpicker didn't have it.)

    What I want you guys to help me with is to call me out if I have under/overextended or unintentionally bottle necked the system at all, or if you can recommend better alternatives to what my build have. As for example with the PSU, I want to start overclocking a bit and I reckon that requires a bit of power hence the 900W PSU. But again, I don't really know what is required for these sort of things, perhaps my old PSU and cooling(If salvageable) is good enough for this

    Thanks in advance

    If you want to save a ton of money then order from caseking.de, cheaper parts + free shipping.

    + You don't need a 4770k for gaming.
    + You don't need a new powersupply, yours is more than fine.

    Alright so salvaging my PSU then. When it comes to 4770k vs 4670k is the performance gain minimal or just unnecessary for the price difference? And while we're at it; I currently have a Cooler Master silenco 550, perhaps that's good enough as well?

    In most games the performance difference is within margin of error.

    That's a huge difference in prices, indeed. But is it really free shipping when ordering abroad? No VAT added or anything when shipping in?

    Aye, it's just unnecessary expenses then, 4670k it is. Thanks

    I have only paid taxes/huge shipping cost from the US. NEVER from our german friends. You do however pay their 19 % VAT as seen in the picture. I don't know how much VAT is in Sweden.

    I think it's 25% in Sweden. Worst case scenario I probably just have to pay the 6% difference, not a biggie as I get a monitor with it.

    6% added VAT, there is a bunch of cheaper part in that build and you risk having to pay expensive shipping fees if something is to break.

    Same build http://www.prisjakt.nu/list.php?l=2334570&view=l but from Swedish stores.
