Hello‼
Ever since I started gaming on the PC, I always had to be happy with mid-to-low range performance, but now I'm having the chance to build a high-end gaming PC, so I decided to buy the parts and build it myself. The parts I selected are these:
CPU // Intel Core i7-4790 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor
RAM // 2x Corsair 8GB DDR3-1333 Mhz
Storage // Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
GPU // EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB Superclocked
Optical Drive // LG WH14NS40 Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer
First of all, I live in Brazil, so the price for parts here varies a lot (and are usually way more expensive than in the US). Second, I was going for a "K" series intel CPU, but these aren't available in my country yet. And thirdly, the Samsung 500GB HD is from the PC I'm using right now, and I intended to keep using it - but if that's not possible, it's perfectly okay.
I'm pretty lost about what mobo, power supply and case to get (and also if I'm gonna need to buy coolers separately, if they will fit, etc...). I really don't mind much about the aesthetics of the case, so as long as it will let the computer "breathe" properly and will hold everything in place, I'm perfectly fine with it - and that takes me to another issue. The way my room is, the PC stands under the desk, with it's back not more than 15~20cm from the wall, so I'm not sure it would be able to cool properly there. There is a remote chance of being able to relocate it, but if possible, I'd rather not.
I'm also not really interested in overclocking, as I don't feel nearly confident enough to do it, so I wouldn't worry about that too. If you've got any other tips or know of something I missed or forgot to get, I'll be really grateful if you can remind me.
Thank you all for the attention‼
