Just purchased my new pc recently, gonna go back to the store and get a couple of extra things such as a new cooler for the cpu, a bigger psu and perhaps a couple more fans but this is what I have so far.

Fractal Design Integra R2 500W PSU(I'm changing this to a 750W)
Fractal Design Define R4 Black case
Gigabyte Z87M-D3H motherboard
Intel Core i7-4770k CPU @ 3.50GHZ Haswell (Not OC)
8GGB DDR3 memory
Nvidia Geforce GTX 760 2GB

As I said I'm getting a cooler for the cpu and I've been looking through a couple of options, would be nice to get some feedback from you guys to what you think is best. These are the ones I've been looking at:

I'm almost finished building mine.

I went with:

Bitfenix Shinobi Window Black Mid Tower
ASUS Crosshair V Formula AM3+ 990FX
AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz
Corsair HX850
Corsair Vengeance 8GB
Corsair H50 in Push/Pull
Corsair 120GB Force SSD
2 EVGA GTX 650 Ti Boosts 2-way sli

If you have room in your case, you could look at coolers from NZXT or http://www.xs-pc.com/. The H50 does alright also.

First of, thanks everyone.

And no I don't have a specific budget, and it does not matter if it's air or liquid.

I also forgot to add that I have a Samsung SSD 120GB in the computer and a 1TB normal harddrive.

@Archenemy: Nice rig, I'm planning on getting a second gtx 760 in the future and run SLI.

if u plan on having a SLI in future seems like u dont have a money issue ;)

get a full liquid cooling kit like XSPC D5 Bayres pump with those raystorm blocks ( u can set hr GPU Blocks with CPU Block ) u can start with 1 rad and add another rad when u added the other graphic card and dont forget u need a big case to handle that

D5 pump is capable of handling two graphic cards / 2 rads / and CPU block easily...

I'm upgrading it because I could give it back to the store and get the money back. I'm planning on getting another gpu soon and a 500W won't be enough, so I gave the 500W back and took a 750W so I dont have to buy and pay full price for a PSU later.

Ahh, that makes sense. Was just scratching my head as to why you thought you needed 750W for that xD Running another card in SLI makes sense now :p
