First Gaming PC Build (need case)

Gengstar · Apr 23, 2014

How does this build look? Are all the components compatible? What kind of frame rate should I expect from games? Help pick a case that will fit all of these components that has good airflow.

What is the budget? I would drop to an i5 and get the GTX780 instead of the GTX770.

The Corsair 300R is great at $39. The Cooler Master N400 is really good too at $59

I ain't a PRO, but from what I know that CPU, GPU and RAM look pretty hot to me. I have a Palit GTX 770 2 GB Jetstream and I know that this card should get you AT LEAST 30-60 FPS on the newest games on high settings.

For a gaming rig I would drop down to a i5 instead of the i7. And if you are gaming on a single 1080p monitor stick with the GTX 770 2GB. For a single 1080p there is no reason what so ever to go with more than 2GB on the GPU.

A i7 is not going to do you any better than a i5 for gaming it would be a waist of money. And some games do not work well at all with HT forcing you to turn it off in the BIOS turning it into a i5 anyway.
