So knowing enough to get me buy, I wanted to build my first desktop with the intentions of it being a gaming computer; curious to see how you all think of the components I've chosen and whether or not they work or if there is a better option out there.
Here's the build:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3350P Ivy Bridge 3.1GHz (3.3GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 69W Quad-Core Desktop Processor
Motherboard: ASRock H77M-ITX LGA 1155 Intel H77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
Memory: Patriot Viper 3 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory
Storage: Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: ZOTAC ZT-60901-10M GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Case: BitFenix Prodigy Midnight Black / Black Steel / Plastic Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case
Power Supply: SeaSonic G Series SSR-550RM 550W
Optical Drive: SAMSUNG DVD Burner SATA Model SH-224BB - OEM
Operating System: Windows 7 (64-bit)
So whats the verdict? Anything worth changing? Am I missing anything?
Should also mention that my budget was $850 and this cost around $830.
