I am looking into a pc of such components:
-ASrock B75M-DGS
-i5-3350P 3.1GHz
-GeForce GTX 660 MSI 2GB N660-2GD5/OC
-Kingston 8GB DDR3 (1600MHz)
-Seagate Barracuda 1TB, 7200, SATA 64MB
-Corsair CX600 ATX2.3 80+ 600W
-Codegen ATX-Q3354-CA (the cheapest pc case in my shop)
I chose them by my basic knowledge which I don't count on. So I'd be thankful to receive as much feedback as you willing to share on this. I want to stress out that price is pretty important to me.
My only requirement for a pc so far is to play and stream one specific game Company of Heroes 2 with a decent fps. I am not looking into upgrading or overclocking in the future. My aim is to get a good quality/price ratio.
So what do you think about these components, are they compatible to each other first of all?
Is any component going to slow down the others? Is there any component that is too good for others so I could cut the price on it? Particulary is processor and video card on the same level, not going to slow one another down?
A big question mark is on the motherboard. As much I read other pc builds, I noticed more expensive motherboards being offered. I don't quite understand for what reason. Do they have an impact on other components' performance?
The other important question is PSU - is CX600 600W enough for this system? Would a cheaper one Corsair VS 550W ATX be enough for it? Because I'd like to save on parts like this if it's possible.
The last concern is a processor and video card. Is 3350P a good choice for it's price? Is it worth to consider AMD product? I heard Intel is a choice for gaming which is my priority. Also, what is better performance/price wise - i5 3350P 3.1GHz or i5 2400S 2.5Ghz?
What about the GTX 660? Is MSI a trustworthy manufacturer or should I choose a more expensive product of Asus for example? (Again - I'm looking to save everywhere if possible). What does N660-2GD5/OC mean next to the name of the card? I believe it's overclocked, any pros/cons of it? Is it worth considering Radeon, can I get a better product for a same or lower price?
