I finally want to try and build my first gaming computer and I put a lot of thought and research into all the parts I compiled into a list ... I believe they are all compatible with each other, but if they aren't, please let me know! Another note: I do not want to deal with overclocking anything - I am too prone to accidents to deal with it!
The things I do most are: MMOs (FFXIV), a random compilation of co-op games (Saints Row and several others), and I want to try streaming games, as well.
Price: I'd like to try and keep the price around where it is now (~$1200) unless there's a really good reason to buy a more expensive part (longevity or better quality, etc).
Case: CM Storm Scout 2 Advanced
Motherboard: Z87 Extreme3
CPU: Core i5-4670 Haswell 3.4GHz
GPU: GeForce GTX 760
PSU: CX750M
SSD: SAMSUNG 840 Series 120 GB
HDD: WD Blue 500 GB
Memory: CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB
Optical: SAMSUNG DVD-ROM Drive
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM
Other Notes: I have the intent to (at some point in the near future when I get a little bit more money to play around with) SLI, hence the choice of the 750W PSU and a few other things.
If you have any other suggestions on what I should or should not do, please let me know. Also if you can think of any tips on what to expect to be weird and/or go wrong if you have experience with these parts, that would also be appreciated! Oh, and I have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc.
Thank you for your time in reading this and thank you doubly if you can help!
