Hi guys,

I asked the same question approximately 6 months ago.
Unfortunately for some various reasons I have not been able to buy the computer at this time.
See: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/384577-31-gaming-silent-build-1200

Basically I'm looking for a gaming config that I could keep for 5/6 years, AND that would be silent.

Now that I'm back in this process again, I'm would like to check with you if the configuration you guys helped me to set up is still ok, or (since 6 months in the PC world = 120 regular years) I would need to change a couple of things:


Processor + Motherboard : NCIX Bundle Deal Intel Core i5 3570K Unlocked Quad Core CPU & Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H Motherboard ( http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=71249&vpn=BX80637I535... )

Memory : G.SKILL Ripjawsx F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1600
(http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=58099&vpn=F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM&manufacture=G.Skill )

Video Card : The one I had listed seems too good, and it might fo with a Sapphire Vapor-X Radeon HD 7950 OC 900MHZ 3GB 5.0GBPS GDDR5 ( http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=79518&vpn=11196-09-40... )

Hard Drive : Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB SATA 6GB/S 7200RPM 64MB ( http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku= [...] omoid=1312 )

DVD Drive : LG GH24NS95 24X SATA Internal DVD Writer (http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=78975&vpn=GH24NS95&manufacture=LG%20Electronics )

Case : Fractal Design Define R4 ATX Tower Case Black Pearl ( http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=75044&promoid=1312 )

Power Supply : Antec HCG-620M 620W ATX12V

Thanks for the answer.
Could you please show me a link to these 2 products?
I forgot to mention in my original post but I'm not really good with computers ^^'

And speaking of Windows... I'll need an OS. Do you think I can take the new Windows 8 "Blue"?

Hi guys,

I'm just doing a little up to seek for more advises on the config I posted on my last answers.
Also to know about the cases I was referring too.

Thanks !
