Building a new rig in 2-3weeks. Primary gaming at 1920x1080 on a actual TV mostly.
Budget 1200. Trying to stay around 1,000 though(if cheaper, then great). Will be overclocking down the road. I am trying to make it not a jet-engine, hence the case I choose. But Im not trying to make it dead quiet.

So please take a look at this build. If anything and I mean anything(whether personal preference or not) that you would change, then speak up please and say why. Thank you.

I put it as Newegg only because I want all my parts on same day. But I might do others if the price warrants it. I also already own multiple HDD's, thats why it only has a SSD on this build.

Thanks.



Also wish to thank "photonboy" for giving me a better baseline config than I started with.

Samsung EVO is not best 120GB SSD. It is really slow in some tests.
So maybe better is sandisk ultra plus. Or samsung PRO.
Maybe sandisk extreme 2 is faster than EVO.

Maybe better cpu cooler?
