Building own gaming computer - what I have so far:

mj_jp_tso · Jul 1, 2013

I'm trying to buy all the parts from newegg.com. Anyway, I do not have much knowledge when it comes to what parts are best to buy. I have a 1k budget. Can anyone tell me if what I have picked out so far are decent parts/are compatible with eachother?

Motherboard (Planning on getting atleast 16GB of the 32GB it can hold)
Processor
Graphic Card (Already have this since I recently upgraded the computer I have now with it)

That's all I've picked out so far. Need help finding the best match of a CPU, Power supply, HD, & memory with the products above! Thanks! ^__^

A GT640 won't get you very far in gaming. And you definitely don't need 32GB of RAM for a gaming rig. Invest more in getting a better GPU. You should also get a 4670K instead. What is your budget?

With a $1000 budget, you can get a new video card, here's what I would build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1ciwd And you can overclock your i5-3570k. You don't really need 16GB, 8GB of RAM will do you good.

This is a pretty good 1k build and for gaming whats important is graphics card and cpu
i5 3570k is a very capable cpu compared with the new haswell 4670k because it runs cooler and overclock faster.
with 1 thousand dolalrs you can get the sapphire hd7970 which is only 300 right now
