Hey guys!
So, I'm looking into building a computer for my brother, which he'll mainly use for games and watching movies. The games would be like Skyrim, Saints Row 3, Tera and Guild Wars 2.
We'll be using a spare monitor to save money, but the computer should eventually be able to handle games in 1080p.
Any suggestions and opinions are appreciated!
PROCESSOR:
Intel Core i5-3570 Processor.
Not planning on overclocking, so it'd be better to choose the model that's not 'K', right?
The stock CPU cooler should be sufficient, since there's no overclock, I'm guessing?
GPU:
EVGA GeForce GTX 660Ti 2GB.
MOTHERBOARD:
I'm quite in doubt about what motherboard I should choose, but I was thinking of MSI Z77A-GD65 Socket-1155.
RAM:
Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1333MHz 8GB CL9, 2x4GB.
PSU:
Corsair HX 750W PSU.
DISC DRIVE:
I was thinking of a ASUS BC-12B1ST, BD-Reader/DVD-Writer.
HDD:
Seagate Barracuda 2TB, 7200RPM.
CASE:
Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus Midi Tower.
