Hello all!
The past few weeks I've decided to make the switch from console to PC and I've come to the conclusion that it's much more cost effective to build my own rather than buy. I've done a lot of late-night researching and this is the build that I've roughly settled upon:
Case:
Cooler Master Storm Enforcer
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119240
CPU:
Intel i5-3570k Ivy Bridge
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504
Motherboard:
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128545
Graphics Card:
MSI GeForce GTX660
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127699
RAM:
Corsair Vengeance (Low Profile) 8GB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233309
HDD:
Western Digital Black 1TB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136533
PSU:
Corsair GS800 800W
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139047
Optical Drive:
Asus DRW-24BIST
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204
I've been working with a budget of $1200 and I've squeezed in just under that after I threw in a Cooler Master 212 EVO and a basic Logitech keyboard and Mouse along with the Windows 7 64 bit OS. I wanted to compile a nice rig that would be prime for upgrading.
I've gone onto PCPartPicker and they said that everything is compatible, but I'd like to get the opinion of a couple of people to reassure me. Again, this is the first time I've built a computer and I want to make sure it goes smoothly! Any building tips and tricks are greatly appreciated as well.
Thanks.
