Parts Selection Advice Needed

[cafu]

Hey I'm looking to put together a Gaming / HTPC system. What do you guys think of this list I'm open for suggestion.
Thanks all

Case: Corsair 800D - Already Purchase

Mother Board: ASUS Maximus V Formula Or ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 ?
CPU: i7 3770K - Retail Edge Deal -
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB ?
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB ?

Beautiful choices so far.
What SSD's are you looking to grab?
Get the best PSU your budget will allow. 80plus Gold/Platinum 750 should be good but if you plan to expand later a little more power wouldn't hurt.

go for sabertooth no need for formula
you will connect it to your tv by HDMI?
do you have a multichannel receiver and connect it by HDMI?


a 3770k for HTPC and Gaming is overkill but with thos deal, its perfect

GPU and Ram is perfect

vertex 3 is more than enough

if you have a fanless seasonic, its a 400 or 460w im pretty sure

i have the x-460 and its ne of the best PSU i ever seen

thats why i only bought seasonic until now, my new HTPC will have a 500 strider plus

Hi
Yah love that PSU
It will be connected to a Multi Channel Receiver with HDMI - I will be gaming with it also. Plus all the water cooling parts will install in it

ok no need for Formula Sound card and other feature
use this money for Hard disk space, you will need it for this computer or server
i have 24TB and its full at 85%, i ripped all my dvd, blueray and 3d movies on it, a lot better and easy to use

hey, you give me some idea for future project, yes, need to post in build logs
