Hi guys,
I'm planning on building my first ever computer. I'm mainly gonna be using it for games and I picked most of my parts so far. I read the guides provided here and did a lot of research on those parts.
I picked a PSU recommended for high end builds but I didn't really do any research on it.
here are my current parts (permalink here)
CPU Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core £154.80
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD4H ATX LGA1155 £133.99
Memory Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 £132.98
Storage Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" SSD £124.99
Video Card EVGA GeForce GTX 770 4GB classified £338.48
Power Supply Corsair 650W ATX12V / EPS12V £76.38
Optical Drive Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer £13.18
current total : £1035.80
Approximate Purchase Date: This week hopefully
Budget Range: no more than £1200. prefer to aim for £1000-1100 but if its worth it I might spend a little more
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
Gaming
Light CAD
surfing
Are you buying a monitor: Yes (hints? never done it)
Do you need to buy OS:
No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:
no preferred site, cheapest reliable is good
Location:
Nottingham, UK
Overclocking: maybe in future
SLI or Crossfire: Probably boost with another gtx 770 4gb in future
Your Monitor Resolution: dont have one but plan to occasionally connect to 42" 1920 x 1080
I need recommendation for following:
PSU
Case
fans/cpu fans
anything else i need to build it
Your help is MUCH appreciated!!
