a good pc to build around a gtx 780?

plrbear1028 · Jul 28, 2014

I have a dell xps 8500 and I thought about taking the hard drive from it, RAM(8 GB ) and the motherboard. Is this a good idea? It has a i7 3770 CPU. I want to buy a tall see-through case, gtx 780 gpu, and a 750 PSU. Am I set?

Seems like a good plan, I'd think you'd be good to go with a very capable gaming rig.

Wouldn't hurt to grab a boot drive SSD and migrate the os over to it for snappy response and that 'new computer feeling'.

what do you mean, an SSD

Was just thinking a solid-state drive would add to the perceived speediness of the system, they are way way way faster than traditional hard drives for booting up the computer and loading programs. I highly recommend a Samsung Evo or Crucial ($80) 120gb, the use your existing hard drive for mass storage of your larger files (music, photos, ect.).

Not at all mandatory, just a nice boost in speediness...
