Hi! Im planning to build a gaming computer. This is the first time i am building one so i would like some advice on my specs. I am a bit nervous that i dont get the compartments right and such so i really wish someone could help me. Are my specs below good enough for games such as cod, bioshock, assasin creed, skyrim and such ? Are all the compartments compatible with my motherboard cause im not sure about this motherboard as i planned to change to this one over the asus z77 sabertooth that i decided before. Oh! Im not planning to overclock anytime in the future. Thanks for all for your help !!

My specs
Hdd- Seagate Barracuda 1TB

Ssd- Intel 520 Series 120GB SSD

Cpu- Intel Core i5 3570K

Memory- Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3

Mb- ASUS P8Z77-V-LE-PLUS Motherboard

Power supply- CoolerMaster GX 750W PSU

Video card- ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II

Case - CoolerMaster CM Storm Stryker

The difference in 3570k and 3470 in games is unnoticeable. Say a 3570k gets 60fps a 3470 might get 57fps. You wouldn't notice. Game performance is mostly based on GPU.

The best PSU for one GPU is the Seasonic G 550 80+ Gold. The price, performance, and quality are awesome. ( it's new otherwise I would have bought it last year when I needed a good PSU. It can handle a 7970.

If you are not overclockin then get a 3470. Almost same performance.

750W is overkill. Grab a Seasonic 550W gold.

Everything else is great. The Sabertooth is for high overclockers or people that want 3 gpus. I don't advise it. The mobo you choose is very good.
