Hello,
I'm going to buy a new computer soon and I need help to make sure that the parts are compatible, to lower the price of the whole build while maintaining as much performance as I can from the parts I chose so far, and to get a good power source and case (maybe other components that I need and forgot of as well lol).
Here are the components I chose so far, I'm gonna link to Newegg however I'm not buying the parts from there:
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V PRO - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131819
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504 - should I get 3570 If I can't overclock with the stock cooler?
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti SuperClocked 2GB DDR5 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130809
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 1866MHz 2x8 GB CL9 Dual Channel Kit - (couldn't find a link on newegg)
Hard disk: Hard disk Western Digital 7200 RPM 2TB SATA-III - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236343
SSD: SSD Corsair Force Series GT 120GB SATA-III - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233191
Case fan: Corsair Air Series AF120 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181023
DVD writer/reader/whatever: DVD-Writer Asus DRW-24B5ST - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204
Here's the form from the sticky:
Approximate Purchase Date: probably this week
Budget Range: 1400-1500$ more or less when converted to usd, but components in my country are more expensive so on a normal site such as newegg it would probably cost around 1000$.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, multitasking, browsing internet and stuff
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I'm using a Romanian site to get the parts, pcgarage.ro , since I'm from Romania, and because international sites usually don't ship to Romania as far as I'm aware.
Location: Bucharest, Romania
Overclocking: No, unless I can afford overclocking without buying custom coolers over the stock ones.
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1680x1050, I'm probably going to get a higher resolution later, not sure how high however.
Additional Comments: I want fast and good quality 16 gb ram and 120 gb SSD, the hard disk should also be reliable and quick.
Why Are You Upgrading: My current PC is horrible at anything and everything.
In summary,
Need cheaper counterparts for some of the parts, make sure everything is compatible with each other, and a fitting power source and case.
It's very important to get cheaper counterparts of what I've listed because I'm currently over the budget without including the power source and case.
Thanks for reading.
