Hi There,
I recently posted about the parts that i was getting..
However, now i have bought them.
So fingers crossed that everything fits together etc. but thats what i want to know!

I want to know in more detail, if i havn't just wasted money!

- CPU Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core

Motherboard ASRock Z77 Pro3 ATX LGA1155

Memory Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600

Storage Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM

Video Card MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB

Case BitFenix Shinobi ATX Mid Tower

Power Supply OCZ 550W ATX12V

Optical Drive Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer


I REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHETHER I HAVE ENOUGH SLOTS REALLY!
AND WHETHER THE CASE IS BIG ENOUGH!

IF NOT, IM SCREWED :(
fingers crossed.
*sigh*

Thanks,

Melissa x

Yeah, all of your parts will fit just fine. The MSI GTX 770 isn't the longest GPU possible comparing to the Gigabyte model :p

The case isn't the smallest one either so your mobo, GPU etc will fit. The MoBo also has enough PCI-e slots for your GPU (if not more if it allows SLI?).

It's ok Melissa, When i first built my PC i was terrified that something would go wrong. But it didn't, because I took my time, I read online how to properly build a PC, and I made sure not to give off any static (touched my case every 3 seconds, lol) So don't worry, as long as you have a normal sized case, you should be golden. Good Luck!

It's actually a perfect build.
All of the components 'should fit together and there is'nt really
anytihing bad to say about this build.
The only small bad thing i see in this build, is the PSU.
You could really need some extra Watt, for overcolcking or future opgrades:/
I see that you have limited your spend on the CPU and the GPU.
Many people just spend all theier money on the CPU and GPU
and buys a crappy motherboard, PSU and all that good stuf.
You did'nt and that's pleased too see:)
Hope this was a good response to your need of building advice:3

AHHH,
Thank you so much for all your answers!
This is my first time ever, and i had very little knowledge about building a pc until a week or so ago haha!
So the fact that most of you say it's a perfect build and things just be perfectly fine, has helped rather alot! :)

I'm not planning on overclocking immediately, i want to know more that's all :)
God i'm so excited for the parts to arrive now! ^_^

THANK YOU ;D
i'll keep you posted, and take a picture once its complete?
