Gaming PC Compatible Parts

InfernalSurge · Jul 15, 2013

Hello everyone, I am going to build a gaming PC and so far I've decided on my processor, an Intel i5 3570k and my graphics card, Nvidia GTX 770.

I need some suggestions/recommendations for the other parts I'd need, such as the motherboard. My budget is around $1000 but I don't mind going over as long as I'm getting the best out of my money. Thanks in advance.

Ok but is there a substitute for that mobo? Because my budget is $1000 and just the video card, CPU and mobo together reaches it.

Bah, actually that mobo that he put in there (LGA 2011) ain't compatible with your i5-3570K (LGA 1155) so screw that. :lol:

Look into the AsRock Z77 Extreme4 if you want to overclock. I think that's the cheapest one. If you're not gonna overclock at all then probably just get an H77 one.

And also, are you planning to SLI in the future? Because I think an 860W PSU is overkill. You can probably do with just 700W or even 600W if not.

that CPU will NOT fit into an X79 mobo get a Z77 like this one Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H
drop the SSD it will not be useful in gaming

Ok great! I'll do some research on that z77. Also, what exactly is the SSD
?

jinayhvora · Jul 15, 2013

Solid State Drive, its a faster (but much more expensive) alternative to hard drives, but games will not benefit from it so i said drop it

Ok thanks!

InfernalSurge :

Actually, it'll speed up loading times on games. So that's one thing. But then again, the expensive price tag ain't worth it, I think.

Also, cut down a bit on the PSU. And look for an H77 board instead if you're not looking to overclock to save more money.

Am I the only one to use this site? For me, it's a must to build new rigs lol...it gives you all the big retailer price...it tells you if it's compatible and it has a benchmark for your build!

Also, the search bar for parts is pretty nice tho!

if u don't wanna overclock get the non-K version of the CPU and an H77 board, and keep the stock CPU Cooler
