Hi,
I am going to build my first pc in a couple of weeks and I would be very grateful if someone gave me some advice. I plan on gaming on a 2560 1440p monitor and my budget is around 600- 800€ ie 800-1000$. I don't plan on overclocking CPU but I might overclock gpu in the future. Also everything must fit in a fractal design core 1000 or even better, in something smaller. The hardware may seem underpowered for 1440p, however, I am perfectly happy playing at 30FPS if it comes down to that.


Here is what I have come up with
PSU: ?? dont know what to get
CPU: intel i5 3570(156€)
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 pro M4 (73€)
RAM: G skill ripsaws x ddr3 1600 pc3 2x4GB cl9(50€)
HDD: WD caviar blue 500gb sata3(40€)
GPU: Radeon 7950 OC boost vapor x 3GB (241€)
Case: fractal design core 1000 (30€)
Total= ~600€ (800$)
I would really appreciate it if someone could suggest any upgrades or indicate what to downgrade (eg intel i5 3330 instead of 3570).

If cheaper get intel i5 3470.
Drop z77 chipset mobo and get H77, because you said you won't OC cpu.
Get a quality PSU from Antec, Seasonic, XFX, Corsair or PC Power and Cooling, Silverstone. ~ 500-550w. At least 80+ bronze quality.

Thanks for the advice! I will delay my build until the haswell CPU comes out (early June?) I have also decided to switch the case to a cooler master elite 120. This case I believe requires a mini ITX motherboard, however, due to haswell, I will not know which one to get yet since they might change the sockets from what I have read.
I will get the Corsair CX500w (57€).
Hope haswell is worth the wait :)

haswell will be even better for your mini itx build as it has lower power consumption and hopefully less heat output.
