Ok so i have posted about a system a few days ago and i got alot of recomendations to build a system myself instead of buying. and i heeded that advice :)

but i am no master at thiss kind of stuff so i would like you to check out my build and my new budget is $1500 and i plan on playing mainly battlefield 3 at about 1920x1080 resolution and the resason for gtx 770 over the cheaper 7970 is because i do alot of video editing, watch 3D movies etc.

and please keep in mind its not a pure gaming pc :D ( reason for i7 over i5 )

Build HERE

also : do u think i should get an SSD? i heard its just fast on bootups and loadings.

Thankyou GUYZ.

I've never heard of that brand of PSU. If you can find one, I'd definetly try to find at least a Bronze rated PSU. 900W also seems like a little overkill unless you plan on buying another GPU down the road.

On that note, I don't think you'll need liquid cooling if you're not going to overclock your CPU. I've found my stock cooler to do the job just fine. But, I'll be buying an aftermarket cooler soon because I plan on doing some OC'ing!

SSd's are pretty cool. I just bought one myself. If you're just using this system for games, I don't think you'll need 1TB, unless you're storing music etc on there too. A nice 250GB SSD paired with a 500GB HDD seems to be a nice sweet spot, at least for me. I can load my OS and some games on there and keep my music/pictures/docs on my HDD. Love it.

Also, please make sure everything is going to fit in that case. I believe I have a mid tower, and barely everything fits, and I have a stock cooler, ATX board, HD6870, and a non-modular PSU. That may be a good idea too, get a modular PSU, as that will open up a lot of space. Not sure how big a liquid cooling system is as I have never owned one. Good luck!
