I want to have a PC custom built for our family. I game but I've not run anything "harder" than Forsaken World. I don't intend to overclock the PC so I avoided the 4770K (I might in the future), but I am a bit in the dark when picking the power supply, video memory (I know it has built in), motherboard, etc. Here is the build I have so far:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-INTEL-CORE-I7-4770-3-5GHZ-8GB-DDR3-2-0TB-36303476-/201080684750?
For those that don't want to the link (you can see all options via the link):
CPU : Intel Core i7-4770 3.5Ghz 8MB Cache Quad-Core
Heatsink/Fan : Thermaltake Frio Overclocking-Ready Cooler Fan/Heatsink
Motherboards : GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-UD3H (Intel Z87, HDMI, 3xPCI-E, 6xSATA, 4xDDR3)
Memory : 8GB (4GBx2) Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1866Mhz Lifetime Warranty
Hard Drive / SSD : 2.0TB 7200RPM 64MB Cache SATA3 6Gbps (Major Brand)
DVDRW / BLU RAY : 24X LG SATA Dual Layer DVD /-RW/CDRW w/LG Software
Video Card : 2GB GeForce GTX 650 Ti GDDR5 PCI-E DVI/HDMI (Major Brand)
Operating System : Microsoft Windows 8.1 64bit
Software : Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Student w/Word, Excel, Power Point
Case : Apevia Black/Red X-Dreamer 4 (4 5.25, 5 3.5) 5 Fans, Audio/USB 3.0
Power Supply : 650watt Corsair CMPSU-650TX V2 80 PLUS CERTIFIED
Networking : Onboard LAN included
Sound Card : Onboard Sound included
Card Reader : Internal All in 1 Card Reader
Case Fans : 2x 120mm Case Fan
Thermal Display : NZXT Sentry 2 Touch Screen Fan Control & Temperature Display
Wiring : Wires and Cables neatly tied up away from fans
Warranty : 3 Year Warranty + Three year hassle free pickup and return
My budget for just the tower is about 1500. I'm seeing conflicting review on the motherboards I was initially going to go with the ASUS z87PLUS or the AsRock Z87 Extreme4.
Primary uses for the PC: Midgrade gaming, Graphics editing (Photoshop CS3), and Course work.
I am OK with installing parts on my own if it's better to buy them compared to what this user charges. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
