Hi TH!
I have been lurking the website for weeks now pouring over all of the older threads and gaming build advice. I plan on purchasing my first DIY PC this weekend and would love your expertise before committing so much money.
Purchase date: 2-3 days
Main Use: Gaming, Microsoft Office applications
Budget: ~$900 without OS
A lot of the parts I picked are based off of NewEgg's Memorial Day sale. Also, I'm sad that I missed the Sapphire Radeon deal 5 days ago, so I might wait until that goes back on sale to purchase the GPU. Do you think it will be ok if I use my Nvidia GeForce GT 630 in this new set-up until I buy the Radeon 7870? Or is this a big no-no.
Microcenter has the i5 3570k/mobo bundle at a great price where I live so I plan on buying those this weekend too.
Thanks in advance TH!
Please let me know what you think of the build:
