I don't know if I am allowed to create a thread for this. Sorry in advance. But I am building my first pc. And I would like advice. I am one of those people who go all out on things they want. And I want a pretty good pc as my first one.
The Parts I am ordering soon:
-Corsair Special Edition Graphite Series 600T midtower case
-Sapphire Radeon Vapor X R9 290X 8gb GDDR5
-Corsair CX Series 750 watt power supply
-Samsung 840 1TB Evo 2.5inch SATA SSD
-Intel Core i5 3570k quad core processor 3.4 ghz lga1155
-Asus P8z77-V Pro LGA 1155 Intel
What I would like to know is how much am I missing? What else is necessary that I need to get? And what are some things I could add but are not necessary?
Please And Thank You! :)

Unless you are getting some special buy on the cpu/motherboard then there is no point in getting an older socket cpu and board as they will at best be the same price if not more expensive then their new better replacements.

Corsair CX series PSU is not that good of a psu, CX series had inferior capacitors that don't stand up well to the demand of gpus/gaming. Not saying it wont work or will die in a week, but they do have a reputation of premature failure.

The GTX 970 is a better GPU and around the same price as a 290x.
