I want to make sure these parts will mesh together well. I wish to play bf4, dayz, and skyrim so I also want to know if it will work on high/ultra settings. Also if there are better options to choose. Appreciate the help.

The thing is I am going to use my old laptops hdd. probably place linux on it for now until i get windows. Do you think I can go lower on the psu or no? Trying to save where I can.
 


Oh okay, I apologize for not catching that. You can go lower for PSU but it will need to be a quality one which will be more expensive than your current one, so keep the one you have right now.

Yeah I bought it already, I actually bought everything except the gtx. I got the Cpu for $92 w/stock cooling fan on ebay.
Thank you for going out of your way to help me. Now to wait! :D
 


Glad to hear that! Happy building!

One last thing, why is this gtx 670 ftw red? Did he paint it?

It looks like he did. But one thing, this seller has no user ratings and the GPU is used. Can you trust him?

Oh yeah no. Yeah I was thinking about buying it but the color looked weird and then I found some cheaper ones for now. Thanks for the heads up.
 


Always watch out but best of luck looking for one and don't be tricked!
