Hello guys, I have been saving up for a new gaming PC and I am a bit stuck for some components and i need your help. What I am looking for, is something that would last for about 5-7 years. I know that for the speed that game engines progress every day, maybe in 2-3 years it will have a hard time running some games, but I am not very picky and don't mind playing games if they are not maxed out. I am looking for the perfect ratio of price/performance. So i am not looking to overkill with any of the components, but I still want to rely on something that I know will last. I will use the system for gaming, a lot of copying of large media files. I do not have big knowledge on system builds, i just read different articles now and then and thats where i get most of the knowledge i have, so i accept all kinds of criticism about the system. I already bought a 23" Dell Monitor, so for around 1300-1500$ I am looking for the rest of the components. Not a native speaker, so I hope this was a good enough explanation of what I need.
Here is what i know i want for sure :
Processor: Ivy Bridge Core i7 3770 (I do not want to play with overclocking)
GPU: GF GTX 770, 2GB Gigabyte N770OC-2GD
HDD : 500GB WD VelociRaptor OR 1000GB WD Caviar® Black. Won't be needing that much space all the time, I definetely do not want an SSD at the moment and am looking for a hard drive that would last longer
And those are the components that i need advice for :
RAM: 2x4GB DDR3 1600MHz Corsair Vengeance Pro Silver or 2x4GB DDR3 1600MHz Corsair Vengeance Low Profile or wondering if i would get something more out of higher frequency memory
Motherboard: I am really not looking for an overkill, i just need something decent, some USB 3.0 ports and something durable (maybe ASRock H77 Pro4-M,ASRock Z77 Extreme4)
PSU : Don't really have that much of a choice from the hardware store that i chose. And i'm not sure how much power i need for that system, according to what i read about 700w should be enough. 700W Fortron AURUM, 80+ GOLD, Active PFC OR 700W Fortron FSP700-80BPN, Active PFC OR 750W, Corsair Builder Series™ CX750, ActivePFC
Sound Card: I already have Logitech z623 (THX certified) and i think they could use a better audio card than the integrated one in the motherboard. So what is your opinion for an Asus Xonar DGX or Asus Xonar DG.
So any kind of help or opinions is appreciated.
