Hi Guys,
I am trying to build my first desktop (pardon my noobness) and after much scouring, I came up with the below list.
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Eisberg 240L Prestige 60.2 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus Z87-PRO ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 770 2GB Video Card
Case: Cooler Master HAF XM (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Cooler Master V1000 1000W 80 PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply (
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8 (OEM) (64-bit)
I am hoping to get some advise on whether
1. The power supply is compatible with the motherboard and fits into the case
2. Is there adequate supply (I got a 1000W with anticipation that I might get a 2nd video card in the future. Does my motherboard even support that?)
3. Optical drive. I am confused, as I thought they should all be very similar, but the prices are varied. I am simply looking for a DVD&CD read&write, and a Blu Ray Reader, which is compatible with my system.
Sorry for the TLR post, but i could use some advise.
Thanks!
