Hi there!
I've received the request to build a rig for a family member,
He's new to the PC world and would primarily use the desktop for gaming.
I'm by all means not tech savvy, but capable of browsing through the net and compare the products that are being offered. Although I'd like your expert advice on my chosen components.
Picked parts:
RAM: Kingston Hyperx Genesis - 2x4GB 1600Mhz DDR3
HDD: Western Digital Blue - 1TB - 7200 RPM & 64 Buffer
PSU: Corsair CX Series Modular CX600M - 600 Watt & 80 plus Bronze
MOBO: MSI Z77A-G45 - Intel Z77 Express & LGA1155 Socket
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K - 3.4 Ghz LGA 1155 Socket
Graphics: Gigabyte GTX 770 OC Windforce 3X - 2GB DDR5
SSD: Samsung 840 Pro Series - 128 GB
So that's the setup I've picked so far, after reading reviews and looking value wise.
The case is not my decision to make. And I think the stock cooler will do the job just fine.
My aim is to make the computer future proof for the next 2-3 years and give him the room to upgrade and/or overlock the components whenever the need arrives.
So, please let me know what you think and what you would change/do instead.
Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Accesoir.
