Hi,
Here is my current thought:
CPU: 3770K
MB: Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H
GPU: Sapphire 7970 Vapor-X
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8gb
HDD: (already have one)
SDD: Samsung 128gb
Fan: CM Hyper 212 EVO
Case: CM Storm Stryker
I am only a beginner and this is the furthest I could get to. I do have some questions and want to seek some advise:
1. Graphics - I've read tons of comparison/discussion/flaming between 7970 and 670. I am currently settle with Sapphire 7970 Vapor-X instead of Dual-X/Gigabyte7970/EVGA670FTW. Will this card going to be noisy? (All my previous cards were EVGA)
2. CPU - Do I really need to go for 3770K, I am going to do mostly gaming and Solidworks. Will 3570K do the work? Is it a waste of money to get 3770K?
3. MB - There are two boards available, Z77X-D3H and Z77X-UD3H. With my build, did I made a good decision to go with UD3H? Or I should stick with D3H (it's $50 cheaper!)
4. RAM - I think 8gb is enough. I am only using one screen (1900x1200) currently. Kingston is only $10 cheaper, so I just decided to go for Corsair Vengeance.
5. SSD - I just know about the existence of SDD two weeks ago. Don't know much about it. Is Samsung a good brand for SDD?
FINALLY, thanks for reading my post and I would be thankful if you could provide some advise and insight to my build. I hope you have a nice day. Feel free to type as much text as you want to. I WILL read all of them and take any constructive suggestions
=EDIT= Totally forgot about PSU. I am planning to do some OC on both CPU and GPU. Just for fun (and why not), won't be OC-ing too serious. What power supply would fit my build? 550W maybe not enough if I OC? 600W or 620/650W? And also is there a noticeable difference between bronze (Antec) and gold (Corsair) PSU.
