Is my build compatible and what do you think?

Hello Forums

So finally have the time to build my PC. Just want to make sure it will fit together and work lol Here is my build:

CPU: i5 - 3570K
CPU Cooler: CM Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme 4
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LP 2x4 GB 1600Hz
Storage: Samsung 840 Series 120 Gb (SSD)
GPU: Asus GTX 670 DC2T
Case: NZXT Phantom 410 (White)
PSU: SeaSonic M12II 650W 80 Plus Bronze

Sorry I don't have links. My main concerns are if I want to grab a second GPU for SLI will if fit in my case and will the 650W PSU be capable. Thinking I will need atleast a 750W for SLI/

Anyone suggest a cheap but good optical drive??

Thanks

Yup, everything is compatible. Looks like a pretty good build to me!

As far as optical drives go, it doesn't really matter much. They cost $20-$30, depending on the seller. As long as it's DVD+/-RW, it's fine; in this day and age read and write speeds of the optical drive really don't matter. Now, if you want Blu-Ray support, that's a whole different story.

Do you have a mass storage drive? If not I would heavily suggest adding one.

Also get the 840 Pro instead of the standard 840. Otherwise everything looks good.

840 Pro is out of my budget. $80 difference here in NZ. I have two external HDD that I will be using until I get coin to grab an internal one.

The M12II 650W is enough power and does have the power connections for GTX 670 SLI. I would probably recommend 750W if you were overclocking both the GPUs and the CPU though.

Yeah New Zealand prices are quite ridiculous from what I've seen. Is there a store that you're buying from?

Computer Lounge is an online store who do price matching and have free shipping. I have found the cheapest price for each part and got them to match it. System is 1875 current. 1914 if I get the 750W PSU.

Didn't I hear something about it being cheaper to order from Australia even with the shipping? Or maybe that was just someones idea at some point.

ShadowProject · Apr 8, 2013

Only slightly cheaper. USA is cheapest way really but alot of suppliers wont ship out of the country. I looked into it, I really did

Also if parts break during international shipping its a btch to get it replaced.
