Feedback on my custom build?

JoshTheG · May 16, 2013

Hey guys, I am thinking of building my own gaming desktop. It would be my first attempt at anything remotely similiar so I am browsing for what I THINK are good peices of hardware to run games like World of Warcraft on ultra settings and still get 50+ FPS.

I have decided on a couple things so far and I'm also still wondering what else I need to get to be able to put it all together, press the on button and for it to start right up without any problems.

Anyways, heres what I have chosen so far, please feel free to suggest better options with more bang for the buck if you have them.

Computer Case - Will need a power supply which would be compatible.

So the most obvious thing I'd like to ask is, will all the parts I have chosen so far actually fit in the case and work with eachother?
And also, what am I missing which is a must, and what are your recommendations to make this gaming rig last and continue performing my favorite games.
THANKS ALL!

Stay far away from anything Logisys makes - they're a brand that's synonymous with junk. I also saw no power supply, GPU, or hard drives. What is your max budget?

i think coolermaster haf 912 or nzxt tempest 210 are pretty much at 54$ on newegg and will do a better job than the computer case which u have selected, as well as do you have already have gpu, psu and other parts salvaged from your previous build or you still need those.

okay, so ill scratch that case.

I havnt got anything yet, at all. This will be my first attempt at building a computer.

I was looking to stay within the $1000 dollar range.
That doesnt include keyboard/mouse/monitor.

I just want a nice desktop that will be able to handle games and that will keep good performance for years.

Hey man I really appreciate all your help thus far. I had only chosen the AMD 965 because I read in a couple different forums/webpages that the AMD is a better processor for gaming, compared to the Intel.

I also found a different case I wanted and I did edit the post but, my favorite color is green so I'd love to find a green/greenish themed case to enjoy. I found this but again, I dont know if all the other parts YOU listed would fit into this case. So maybe the case you linked aswell is the best? http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146079&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwordsCA&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwordsCA-_-pla-_-Computer+Cases-_-N82E16811146079
