Hi, guys! Thanks for taking the time to read my post! As stated, this will be my first time building a PC. I've picked out all my components and I'm going to start building within the next month if all goes according to plan...
I'm an avid gamer, so that's what this PC will mainly be used for... I mostly play World of Warcraft, with some Skyrim and Fallout 3/NV thrown in. Sometimes for up to ten hours at a time.
What I'm wondering is if you guys could give me some feedback on the parts that I've picked or if you could make some recommendations. I have two questions that I'll post after I link the components, so without further ado...
CPU: Intel i5-4670 with Zalman CNPS9500

(Also going to be putting multiple fans in case, so recommendations that won't break the bank would be nice!)
Total: $1032.91 minimum (before tax + S&H - mail-in rebates)
I'm really sorry for that long post. I didn't really expect it to be so drawn out. But, I have a few questions about these things. I want this go off without a hitch and hopefully that'll happen...
First, when the GPU says that it requires a minimum of 30 amps on the twelve volt rail, do the two twelve volt rails combine to provide that? Or, since the GPU only uses about 170w and it uses a twelve-volt rail, will it actually only need 15 amps? Or, does the 500w/30-amp recommendation cover all the pieces (GPU/CPU)? Put simply, will the PSU be enough?
Second, will that MOBO be compatible with the other pieces? I had a harder time with that than anything. I think I'm mainly worried about the RAM, but since I'm a nooblet, I just don't know what I should be looking at...
For those of you who got this far, thank you SO MUCH for your time and consideration. It's greatly appreciated and I'm looking forward to reading your answers!!
