Hello,
I am planning on building my first Gaming & Editing PC in just a few weeks. I just want to make sure I am not missing a crucial part or I will see something go wrong when I actually get the building part. Basically I just wanted to double check everything.
So here is what I am planning on starting with:
CPU: Intel i7-3770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core ($316.17 @ Newegg)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme6 ATX LGA 1155 Motherboard ($154.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($119.99 @ Microcenter)
Storage: Western Digital Carvair Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($84.98 @ Outlet PC)
Storage: Western Digital Carvair Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($84.98 @ Outlet PC)
Storage: Samsung 840 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid Slate Disk ($92.99 @ NCIX US)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB Video Card
Case: Corsair 650D ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: CORSAIR HX Series HX850 850W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply ($169.99 @ Newegg)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) ($99.99 @ Newegg)
Monitor: ASUS VN247H-P 24-Inch LED-Lit Monitor ($189.00 @Amazon)
Optical Drive: AsusDRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer ($19.96 @ OutletPC)
Thermal Compound: ARCTIC MX-4 (4g) Carbon-Based Thermal Compound, Non-Electricity Conductive, Non-Capacitive ($9.99 @ Newegg)
Wireless Adapter: ASUS PCE-N15 Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n PCI Express 300/300Mbps Transfer/Receive Rate 64-bit WEP, 128-bit WEP, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK, WPS support ($26.99 @ Newegg)
Case Fans: Corsair Air Series AF120 Quiet Edition 39.9 CFM 120mm Fan ($14.99 @ Newegg)
Case Fans: Cooler Master R4-MFJR-07Fk-R1 110.0 CFM 200mm Fan ($19.99 @ Newegg)
I am aware of some things that you will probably point out, so to save your time, here they are:
1) I know I should go with the 840 Pro Series, but I am trying to keep this as close to $2000 or under.
2) I am going with 2 x 1TB HDD's because I want one for everyday use, and the other for just editing.
If there is anything else I should just be aware of, please let me know. Also, if there is a way to lower the price, while still having the same performance, please let me know too.
Thanks for any help!
