This will be my first pc I built myself, and I just wanted to know if this setup would work properly.
By the way I don't have any parts at home or anything (Except for a headset which is a Turtle beach Z11 and my modem and ethernet cable) so if I order all these parts will I be able to run it and use it?

Another few questions.

Will my headset connect to the monitor or to the PC itself?

Will the keyboard and mouse connect to the monitor or to the PC itself?

With what will I connect my PC with my monitor?

Are there any additional cables I have to buy to link my parts with other parts in the PC?

Is it smart to buy parts from amazon or should I buy them from somewhere else?



I have listed the parts below with the link and price. And is the price reasonable for the parts I'm buying?

Allow me to change something on your "Build-Log"
Instead of the Asus P8Z77-V LX i would choose the P8Z77-V LK since it has a bit more features like Overclocking Protection and is also higher rated by users.
It is NOT necessary to change , but i thought since it is your first build , it should be something with a bit more features. And yes you are now able to build your own PC with all the parts you have choosed. Good luck.

Sure it will , but don't you think a just a bit higher clocked CPU isn'f better ? like : 3570?
1. If the headset has a 3.5 inch connector , you can connect it to the back side of your pc (green for sound and pink for microphone)
2. Headsets are mainly connected to the back side of your pc (mainboard)
3. The mouse and Keyboard are also mainly (the newer ones) connected to the USB headers at the back of your pc (mainboard) , in your case : no problem
4.Since you have a newer graphicscard you are probably going to connect your monitor first with the power cord so it has even power for turning on (cable is contained) and second with HDMI or DVI Cable to the backside of your pc , so you need to order a HDMI cable, unless it comes with the monitor itself already

i'd suggest you to watch the 3 videos of the newegg tv in youtube , since it was very helpful to many new pc builders ,
Building a pc can be fun but there is no fun if you don't handle it wih care , so be careful

Thanks, very helpfull, and yes I decided to throw in a 3570k. But one thing I was wondering is the networking side of things.... will I need a ethernet adapter or something like that? I will be using a ethernet cable, no wifi

Yes if you have already an Internet connection, there is just one thing you need to connect your new pc into the internet : A Lan cable , which goes from the router along to the backside of your pc , if you have luck the needed cable should be somewhere in the package of the router. It looks like this : http://www.henri.de/media/image/thumbnail/530575c867b61b47f99765d6e43e433f_720x600.jpg

the connector looks like this at the back of your router and of your pc (mainboard): http://www.bbb21.com/lan-port.jpg

Well , there's one thing you should know : The case is the actual House for your Hardware. It shouldn't be something like retro looking case , it might see "cool" but is the most cheapest thing you feel if you have it on your desk.
I have experience with the V3 Black Edition from Thermaltake , and that thing was so light and it felt very cheap.
So i bought a better , made of steal and very handy case , it is also very heavy which i like (dust filters and all that is included which is pretty nice)
it is from Fractal Design : Define R4

The main thing which you need to think of is :
1. Will the Power Supply have enough long cables to reach to the top of the PC?In your case: Yes. Check
2. The Motherboard has ATX Size , the case also supports ATX sized motherboards? Check
3. The longer the graphics card is the more you need place in your case , i don't really know the specs of the case but i would definately choose another one

Example of a general configured pc air flow to cool your hardware : http://extreme.pcgameshardware.de/attachments/143424d1253828568-cpu-luefter-falschrum-eingebaut-nh_u12_case_airflow_1.jpg

Nice choice. This is also a very popular case btw. There is no need for additonal cooling , but in case you really want to see many spinning fans just search for fans with 120mm profil and it should be over 10 bucks so you don't need to deal with cheap stuff (install is very easy, the space for the fan is also needed in the case). Change the case and your list is done. Good luck on your build.
