This is my first attempt at building a desktop, so I could really use some advice. Right now I'm at around $770, and I'm not looking to go past around $850 for this build. After reading through many reviews on newegg, I have put together the following list (links on names):
Case: Rosewill Challenger Mid Tower - $45
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K - $210
GPU: EVGA GTX 650 - $120
SSD: Samsung 120GB - $100
HDD: Western Digital Blue 500GB 7200RPM - $60
MB: MSI Z77A-GD65 Intel - $165
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB - Free with motherboard currently
Power Supply: Rosewill Hive 750 Watt - $70
OS: Windows 7 - Free through school
I plan to do some PC gaming with this desktop, with most time spent on Planetside 2 and Steam games. Does this build look like it can handle those demands? Did I make any big mistakes in putting this build together? Any other suggestions? Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
