Hey all, so this is my first time building a computer and I was hoping I could get what I put together looked over. my budget is 1500$ for this and I want to keep it under that. This computer is going to be used for mostly gaming. I might use it for schoolwork cause I am still in college, but that entails just using Microsoft Office on it. I do have to buy a monitor, but I would don't want anything over 20 inches. Also, I will probably have to buy an OS. Here are the parts I chose:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing
Motherboard: Asus SABERTOOTH Z77 ATX LGA1155
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 (its low profile so it wont get in the way of my cpu cooler)
Storage: Samsung 830 Series 128GB 2.5" SSD
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 670 2GB
Case: NZXT Phantom 410 (Black/Orange) ATX Mid Tower
Power Supply: Corsair 650W ATX12V / EPS12V
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer ($14.98)
Total: ~$1500 (with a chosen moniter and windows 7 for an OS)
If you have any recommendations please make them. Also, I think the motherboard and video card I chose are good but I would like to hear your opinions on them. If you think you know of a better card or motherboard that would fit my build well please let me know!
