i have two possible builds.
Build one: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/TZJyP6 I know I can add a better GPU and PSU, but they are left over from an upgraded a pc. id like to use them if i can, it will save some money. The GPU runs the games I play very well, not no 60fps/1080p but good enough to run most games well.
Build two: http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ same parts, just a new GPU.
side notes: the PSU and GPU are not under warranty anymore. I'm on a 1800/1900USD (cant go over 2000USD) budget. I dont want AMD products as I want to try Intel. I've used EVGA GPUS on all the pcs that were upgraded. They have worked great I prefer to remain loyal to them. Id also like the RAM to be cosair, as I used them on the same upgraded pc where the GTX 550 Ti and OCZ psu came from (its compatible, but runs at 1333mhz vs 1600mhz) im not sure if it will effect the 1600mhz ram. if I can go faster let me know. id like the mobo to have >4 sata inputs so I can add more if needed as I intend on using this for years.
is 120gb enough for the OS only? or would 250 be better. i might be doing some overclocking. (if it doesnt draw too much power.)
this is also my first build. The upgrades where not done by me, they were done by my father.
