Nice rig... btw do yo play Minecraft? If so, I need a special forum or site to download "safe" mods (no malware included) for my son.
Its not a gaming rig until you put in a SSD. Common bro. This is 2014! You build a killer rig and skip on 1 of the most important parts. I see many people do this when building a nice gaming machine. Would really bring that system out that much more by adding a SSD. You think its fast now.... I could never go back to a HDD and only use it for storage.
We can't even get the 4770K anymore. I think you should have gone with the 4790K. The Z87 chipset supports it. Agree with above. SSD's are cheap/common. Liquid cooling kit will help keep cool & quiet too...
SSD wont make a gaming rig much faster. The programs are all loaded into ram when u start them so the only difference an ssd does is it starts programs faster.
not entirely true, many games load on the fly as you move throughout the game. That pause every now and then (going from one area of a map to another for example) is the game trying to get the hdd to hurry up. SSD eliminates that almost / if not entirely.
