Hi guys , I am doing a build,specially for gaming and i have some doubts about components. I plan to run windows 7 64 bit and I dont know if i should buy a monitor or better conect the pc to my 50 inch full hd Sony tv i bought one year ago.
Do you think i can get a better mobo without paying more than 250 $ ? What about the 3 tb seagate ? A lot of people reported having problems with the high capacity drives . Also with my processor what would be the difference between 1600 ram and over because i have seen that the price is really high going up until 2600 ddr3 . Also about the noise that this powerful computer will make , i want to be sure that is a really quiet rig for my room. If any advice feel free to comment.
Thank you very much

Solution
this isnt running quiet by any means. the rigs above are on the louder side

this is quiet

-hyper 212 evo at full load is loud
-better board for cheaper
-cheaper ram that is just as good
-way better SSD. cant stress that enough
-7970s perform better and are a better option in single GPU systems
-case is actually silent

Looks good, only suggestion would be a smaller size SSD and use the extra money and maybe a tad more of your own to upgrade your GPU, since it is the most crucial part of a gaming rig. Look at the 7970 3 GB Editions, about $50-100 more and slightly more conformance!

Changed the ram to low profile so you'll have no trouble fitting the cpu cooler.
Cheaper SSD, very good and reliable still.
Changed the gpu to a 7970. Same price, but the 7970 should do a better job.
Cheaper psu with enough watts to handle this.
Added in a case fan for the 922 for more red LEDs
