Okay so first and foremost, this will be my very first Custom PC. I've had enough of all this pre-built crap that all these companies try to throw at us. Currently I just have a late 2011 Macbook Pro. It was a gift so I can't say much about it. It's done a good job of providing me with something convenient and mobile since I'm still in college. I plan on purchasing the following however (let me know if I have enough components so start off with and if everything should be compatible with each other):
Intel Core i5 Processor i5-4670K 3.4GHz 6MB LGA 1150 CPU (SuperBiiz) $214.99
MSI Gaming N760 TF 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card (newegg) $259.99
ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard (newegg) $114.99
2x G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9S-4GBXL (newegg) $77.98
Thermaltake Tough Power TP-750P 750W ATX 12V 2.3 & SSI EPS 12V 2.92 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Active PFC Power Supply (newegg) $69.99
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive (newegg) $64.99
DIYPC Solar-M1-R Black SECC ATX Mid Tower USB 3.0 Gaming Computer Case w/ 2 x 120mm Red Fans (newegg) $39.99
ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner (newegg) $19.99
Microsoft SIDEWINDER X4 Keyboard (newegg) $49.99
E-blue Cobra Junior 1600dpi Gaming Mouse Red LED Light EMS109L (amazon) $13.88
SteelSeries QcK Mini Gaming Mouse Pad (Black) (amazon) $7.99
Total: $934.77
I'm still deciding on whether I should buy it or not. I have the money but I could save it for other things down the road. The Macbook still serves my needs and I have a PS4 that I can game on. If I do end up buying this then this would turn into my primary gaming platform and I'd just go to console for exclusives. Also, don't worry about an OS, my friend is hooking me up with Windows 7 Ultimate so I'd just be getting that for free. I just want to know what you guys think about this build and any opinions or advice you might want to give me, I really appreciate anyone that takes the time to help me out.
