I will be mostly gaming and video converting.
Right now top games i would liek to max are saints row iv
skyrim splinter cell blacklist and would like to be able to play crysis 3 at pretty good looking settings.
maybe throw in some borderlands 2.

That's a very well balanced build, i wouldn't change a thing, i'm assuming you already have things like a power supply and storage?

bluedragon2k9 · Sep 30, 2013

no sorry I will need a power supply and storage also so i need some ideas on that thank you

Jaxem · Sep 30, 2013

Go with a seasonic, XFX, or corsair PSU, you should be good with any of the ~500w offerings. Storage...are you looking to go SSD, or just a HDD?

Jaxem :

i am just going to go with an hdd got any recommendations on one of those? and whats your opinion on the ssd's?

Jaxem · Sep 30, 2013

SSD's are definitely a non-essential, faster boot and load times are the main benefits. for HDD's i have a few seagates and have never had problems, i also bought a toshiba drive recently and have been impressed with it...pretty much get the cheapest name brand (seagate, WD, Toshiba?, Samsung) 7200 rpm drive that's big enough for you

also i like the look of this case what do you guys think http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811553009

Jaxem :

what do u thnik of this case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811553009

Jaxem · Sep 30, 2013

That case is a bit loud for my taste (aesthetically), but it's got some great features especially for the price. The reviews seem good, so i'd go for it

Jaxem :

all right sounds good man how long do you think this build will last me before its upgrade time?

Jaxem · Sep 30, 2013

Hard to tell, no one knows exactly what the demands of new games will be...but i'd guess you'll be happy with it for at least 2-3 years if you're not trying to push the newest games to the highest settings right when they come out...

Jaxem :

all right thanks man for the help.much appreciated.Looks like I got to get to ordering.I cannot wait to play a game on this machine.

Jaxem · Sep 30, 2013

Definitely get Tomb Raider as one of your free games with the graphics card, it's one of the best games i've played in a while.
