Hi, this is my first time building a computer, and I'd like some advice. This is what I am THINKING of getting so far(keep in mind, first build):
Case: BitFenix Prodigy Midnight Black / Black Steel / Plastic Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case ($89.99)
Graphics Card: EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2662-KR GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card (189.99)
Power Supply: CORSAIR Builder Series CX500 500W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply (Not sure how many watts I need yet, haven't checked, $59.99 for the 500w)
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 ($64.99)
Mother Board: MSI Z77A-G41 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS ($99.99) Not sure about this one, suggestions?
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I53570K ($219.99) Probably not a good choice, considering my budget. Help with this one?
Cooler: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1 "Heatpipe Direct Contact" Long Life Sleeve 120mm CPU Cooler Compatible with Intel ($29.99)
Hard Drive: OCZ Agility 3 AGT3-25SAT3-120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) ($89.99) Another option would be a small (32gb-ish) ssd, with a larger HDD, and just have the OS/Programs on the SSD.
Again, first time building a computer, might be a trash build, so please feel free to go ahead and tell me that.
The problem(in my eyes) with this build, is that I'm trying to cut it down to around $750 before tax/shipping. Right now, it totals to around $845 with $30 mail in rebate. All these prices are from newegg, but if you know any cheaper places, please suggest. Thanks!
Edit: Also, am I missing anything I might need for the build that I should order along with it?
