Checking part's compatibility

samuelsonn · Jul 4, 2013

Hey guys! new to this site and first post here. But I am building my first computer and I don't know how to tell if everything is compatible for sure. I have done some research but I wanted to get another opinion from others to make sure. Made it on newegg.com - honestly have little knowledge of what I am doing

This computer is going to mainly for gaming World of Warcraft, Diablo, Guild Wars, League, DOTA, Blops, Battlefield... etc

would like to know if this setup will run these with med/high setting on 50-60 fps
I would also like to use 3 screens but I will only use one to play my games on, other 2 will be for my stream/skype/others
Please help? newbie here.

Will also take any advice/other options to make things cheaper
not sure how to make an easy list. Sorry if this is a pain.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009440 - 3 screens

About 1680$ for all and around 1300$ without the screens. I am trying to keep it ~1500$ not including screens

Thanks guys! sorry for anything

No HDD listed because I have one already

Drop the sound card. the motherboard has better audio.

That motherboard does not work with that CPU. You need an lga1155 socket board. Also its stupid over priced. Spend no more than $150 on a board for this build.

That PSU is overkill. Get a 600w unit. (Antec, Corsair, Seasonic, XFX)

You have no HDD listed.

samuelsonn :

That processor won't work with that motherboard, they have different pin configurations. btw $1500 will build you a monster.. You will get WAY more than 50 - 60 fps on those games.
Couple of things:
-Is $1500 your limit? Or is that what you want to spend? Would you rather save money and get what you need? (I'm estimating with what you said around $1000 PC will get the job done.)
- Overclocking? (If you don't know what it is then just say no.)
- Do you need an OS? If so what do you prefer?
- Are you doing anything else with it besides gaming? (Video/Photo Editing etc.)

1500 is my limit - would love to save money though
overclocking - no
No OS
video editing/streaming/some CAD
Have a HDD
would love to keep that case
would like if you gave some alternatives or made a build of your own that would work for me. i honestly have little to no clue about good/bad items for a computer of this kind
