I recently have been interested in buying a gaming PC, so i did the most research i could. I have built custom ones on websites like ibuypower and i like what i see, but i want to know is it really what i need?
On my new computer i intend on gaming a lot (minecraft, diablo3 mostly, but also games like crysis), and downloading movies. I just want something fast that never lags, and i would like to have really nice graphics. my price cap is 1300$
here is an example of what ive built so far. let me know if i need upgrading or downgrading.
Case: NZXT Source 210 Mid Tower
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-4670K (4x 3.40GHz/6MB L3 Cache)
Liquid CPU Cooling System [Intel] - Standard 120mm Fan
RAM: 16 GB [8 GB x2] DDR3-1600 Memory Module - G.Skill Ripjaws
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 7870 - 2GB - Single Card
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 -- 2x PCIe 3.0 x16, 4x USB 3.0, 6x SATA-III 6Gb/s
Power Supply: 600 Watt - Standard
Primary Hard Drive: 2 TB HARD DRIVE -- 64M Cache, 7200rpm, 6.0Gb/s - Single Drive
Optical Drive: 24x Dual Format/Double Layer DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW Drive - Black
Flash Media Reader /writer
Sound Card: 3D Premium Surround Sound on board
Network Card: Onboard LAN Network (Gb or 10/100)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium + Office Starter 2010 (Includes basic versions of Word and Excel) - 64-Bit
Should i be getting a better video card?
Is my PSU a good wattage?
And last question, is it worth it to get 2133mhz ram instead of 1600?
