I am building my first gaming pc, and I would like to know a few things.
- Here is the link to my build, http://secure.newegg.com/Shopping/ShoppingCart.aspx?Sub...
1. I would like to know if all my parts are compatible with each other.
2. I would like to know if there are anyways I could save money with this build, without giving up quality.
3.Is their a cheaper graphics card that offers similar performance to the GTX 770
4. Will the Internal Network card be compatible with the motherboard.
5. Will this Water Cooling System keep my CPU cool
6. Is the PSU good enough, or is it overkill
Their is a special on Newegg until the 31'st, so i will be getting a very great price for this build, I hope. I will most likely be purchasing this rig tommorow, so quick responses would be greatly appreciated.

It shows that the cart is empty whwn I clicked the link. I guess it showed my cart. You could either build one at http://pcpartpicker.com/ or write the desired parts individually. Usually, ATI/AMD equivalents of Nvidia cards are cheaper and offer better fps in some games. Hence, if you're on a budget, you may want to consider buying an ATI card. However, don't be greedy as all that will do is waste time and if you get a product which is cheaper but of bad quality, you'll suffer.

I'll be damned. That's exactly my setup! So much so that even the keyboard and mouse are the same! I can safely say that you won't need an additional fan unless you are going to push your rig to the limits. Before buying the RAM, look for a 1x8GB as thr H61M-S1 has only 2RAM slots. My monitor is the same as yours and it doesn't have an HDMI in. However, I have a Cooler Master Thunder 600W PSU. I wouldn't suggest spending money on a separate cooler now, in stead by one when you need it as the stock cooler is just fine and comes with a copper core too. I'll also attach my setup so that you can get some idea of your machine.

My setup-
Intel Core i5 3330 @ 3.00Ghz
Kingston 8GB RAM (2x4GB)
WD Caviar Green 1TB HDD
Cooler Master Thunder 600W PSU
Microsoft 200 Wired Keyboard and Mouse
Gigabyte H61M-S1 Motherboard (Micro ATX)
LG DVD Writer
Circle PC Cabinet
Samsung S22C450B Monitor
Zotac Nvidia GTX660 2GB GPU

As for your other queries, you can get a Radeon HD7870 GPU which is cheaper and offers nearly identical performance figures. Also, buy not buying the cooling, you can save some $$$. The PSU is good enough and you wouldn't want to go for something lesser than 600W for this setup. Also, you must not forget that the H61M-S1 is not WiFi enabled and it only has one PCI slot (Will be used by the GPU) and so you will only be able to use a LAN cable. Hope this helped. Cheers!

EDIT: If your PC doesn't recognize the LAN cable then re-install the motherboard drivers as I encountered the same problem.

Wow That's to funny, I just thought this would be a good way to get into the feel of pc gaming. I probally will not get the liquid cooling just yet, because I don't plan on overclocking anytime soon. Also, I think ill get the 600 watt psu, since the machine will only be drawing 418 watts. Thank you very much for your response, and I would like to see your build.

Yep! However, if you're fine on not having an SLI, not using WiFi, and you don't mind only 2 RAM slots, I guess you'll be happy with this. Almost all of the budget mobos have 2 RAM slots and 1 slot for a GPU. However, if you want to extend your budget then look at the Intel DH77EB motherboard. This has 4 RAM slots, but only 1 GPU slot. Since I was on a tight budget I chose the Gigabyte H61M-S1. However, Asus makes some quality products so you may want to check them out. Hope this helped.

Thats the thing I need a motherboard, that supports at least 2 pci ports, because Im living in a hotel atm and i need a wifi card. And after I leave the hotel, Ill also need the wifi their too.

I suggest you go for a slightly expensive motherboard then. Go for something like an Asus P8B75-MLX PLUS Motherboard. It has one slot for the GPU, 2 for RAM and one for WiFi. Hope this helped! :D

The only problem with that motherboard is it supports an LGA 1155 chipset. my i5 4770K is an LGA 1150. I found the MSI CSM - B85M and it has a couple PCI slots. And again, thanks for your help

I tweaked with the system a little more and i think this is my finalized setup, i am just going to type it out this this time.

CPU- Intel Core i5 4770K
GPU - Gigabyte Geforce GTX 770 4gb DDR5
PSU - Corsair 650w
Motherboard - MSI CSM-B85M-E45 LGA 1150 Intel B85 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Intel Motherboard
RAM - G-SKILL Ripjaw X series 8gb (4x2)
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 2 TB
Optical Drive - Asus DRW
Case - Cooler Master HAF 922 ( Yes this case is pretty expensive but it is really good on cooling)
Wifi - Startech PCI Express Wireless N Adapter
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Cooler Master Seidon 120 mm Water Cooling
Extras: Logitech MK200 Black USB Wired Slim Mouse and Keyboard Combo, Mouse Pad, Turtle Beach TBS
In total - $1,371.85 (I am going to Finance these items so the price will go down like $400)
P.S - All of these parts are purchased for Newegg

I decided to buy the Water cooling so i can prepare myself for what could happen in the future. I will be doing Heavy gaming on this machine so I want to make sure everything will be as cool as it can be. I don't plan on Overclocking my CPU right away, but I may do it in the future.

All I can say is- Amazing! Your set up is just too good. However, even if you don't plan on OCing right now, I'd say that the PSU is slightly on the lower side. Hence, in the future when you do chose to OC, you may need to upgrade the PSU. I'd suggest going for something above 700W to be safe. Badass build. Enjoy man!

I really should not comment as you have made up your mind on what you are going to build and it seems KillerGamer thinks it’s a great rig. But I don’t agree, please take my suggestions as just suggestions of how I see things in your system.

First off, the 4770k is an i7, not an i5. Second, I would never plant such a powerful CPU on a cheap MB that cannot OC in the first place (you will not be OCing your CPU ever on this board) with a B85 chipset, only 1 PCIe 3.0 slot and supports only 1600 memory, this board is made for an i3 in a $400 rig.

Your WCing AIO is not very good at all for the money. Take a look at something like this, it is a much better system than what you have put together, we need to balance the overall performance to make a gamer that rocks and has the capability to upgrade in the future. If you comment on this I will post a parts list for you….

This has a bigger PS so you can add a 2nd 780 in a year or so if you want to go with 3 screens...

I am not on a very strict budget, but I would like to try to not go over $1600. I have one question though, how does the GTX 780 cost so much more than the 770, since its a 3gb card anth the 770 is a 4gb. I have know need for an SSD so I may take that out of the first build so I can save a little bit of money. Thanks for letting me know about the motherboard, since I want this build to be as futureproof as possible. I will build the first rig on Newegg and post the price after im done finding the parts.

I got all the parts you put on the first build, and put them in my Newegg cart, it totaled to $1518.86. Would I just be better getting the 770 and save like $200. How much better does the 780 perform than the 770? Because I do plan on running graphically intense games such as, BF4, BF3, Arma 3, DayZ, and Crysis. I know the 780 will be able to Max out all these games at 1080 30+ FPS., but will the 770 be enough to run all these at least on high, but preferably on Ultra 1080p 30+ FPS. I also plan on disabling AA, MSAA, so that will probally improve my FPS a lot. If I do get the GTX 770, I want it last me at least a year.

Ok dude, both the 770 & 780 are gonna run those games maxed out with some anti-aliasing turned down for the 770, I'm also assuming days standalone and at the moment no graphics card can max that game out. Alternatively you can go with endeavour's build with the bigger PSU, buy 1 gtx 770 and later buy a 2nd gtx 770 so you can SLI. You can also get 2 r9 280's which come with 3GB of VRAM, if 2GB is concerning you which are equivalent to 2gtx 770's with the only exception being ARMA3 seeing as that is a nvidia optimised game. :/  honestly though I'd go with 1 gtx 780 as of now, and see what happens later. If you need another you will get another, and if you don't then you save yourself a bit of hassle and money. Endeavour's build is pretty good as it is(the one with the bigger PSU) and if you have no need for the ssd then remove it and save towards a 2nd 780.

Here is a list that is all from NE, where you are going to get everything. Trust me, you would really benefit from an SSD for a boot disk, it won't help in gaming but it will make your system overall much faster, they are a very nice part of a new rig.

I put a 770 back in this build, it should be fine for a single screen. The PS is big enough to let you add another 770 later on if you need more performance or go with 3 screens.

Im just going to go with the one GTX 780, because it gets like 10 - 20 more FPS than the 770. I don't want to start SLI's right know, because im completely new too this stuff. I also heard some games don't support SLI. Thanks for the good info.

The deal between the 770 and 780 is the GPU, the 770 has a GK104 and the 780 has the GK110, that is the difference in price. Both ate real good cards, also the R9 280x that Proclaim89 talked about is a very good card. The difference between 2GB and 4GB will not be felt for some time, but not to say that 4GB has more potential for better settings in some games at some point in time.

FYI, the 280x is an HD-7970 GE with the clocks turned down a bit to save power and heat. The 770 is a reworked 680 clocked up a bit and the 780 is a Titan with parts of the GPU disabled. Performance wise it is 770>280x>780, the 280x would have been the best buy a couple weeks ago but the prices on them went up, NV prices stayed the same.

Getting 1 770 now will save you some money and you have the hardware to add another later, I prefer SLI over XFire. A single 780 now would last you a long time on a single screen, at least 3 years I would think, but when you add more screens then 2 * 770s would be better.

I think you can pick as many solutions as you want........

Just read your last comment, I think you will be happy with a 780 to start off with, it will serve you well in most every game you throw at it. EVGA has the best customer service on NV cards in case it has a problem.

If you get the 780 you most likely will not add another for a long time, if you want to save a bit more now a 600-650 PS in a Gold rating will rin your rig fine, bit not support 2 graphics cards. An OCed 770 SLI system eats up just about exactly 650W, just something to keep in mind.

Thanks endeavour for all your help, this will be my setup. I have a couple question about SSD's, I heard your supposed to install your OS and Your Search Engine on this, is that what its used for? How long do you think the 770 will keep up with games for a single monitor?

You just need to install the OS on it, everything will take care of itself after that. Use the HDD to install all of your programs on. Once you use an SSD for a boot disk you will never be without one, it really speeds things up a lot.

Would you mind picking one of my post for a solution, that would help me out. I think I have you fixed up and most of all saved you from some not so good advice that would have left you with a rig that would not do what you are building it to do, Thanks....

Yes, you should be able too at any time, perhaps unsolved him then hit the button on my post or just hit the solved button on my post. The reason I ask it it helps me with points and I spent some time making list to try to get where you want to be.

And it does not mean I am going to stop answering questions you have if I can....
