Hello, I am looking into building a better computer for overall performance with a focus on gaming.
Since I've never built a computer before I decided it was best to ask if the parts I'm looking into would work decently with each other, or if they are a good choice at all. (I'm looking at you Seagate, your Newegg reviews scare me!)
Here are the specs I'm looking at:
OS: Windows 7 Premium: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832416806&cm_re=windows_7-_-32-416-806-_-Product
Tower/Case: Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021&ignorebbr=1&cm_re=PPSSBGDRYLXVJN-_-11-129-021-_-Product
MotherBoard: MSI Z97 GAMING 5 LGA 1150: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130770
CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 Haswell Quad-Core 3.3 GHz LGA 1150: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116991
Graphics Card: Two Nvidia Geforce GTX 560: Were given to me by a friend, needs testing.
PSU/Power Supply: RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-630SS 630W ATX12V V2.2: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152035
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231568
Hard Drives:
Boot/OS: SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 250GB SATA III: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA3FA2EV1108&cm_re=samsung_ssd-_-20-147-372-_-Product
Main: Seagate 3TB Desktop HDD SATA: http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Desktop-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST3000DM001/dp/B005T3GRLY (if sale holds)
Main (if sale does not hold): Seagate 1TB Desktop HDD SATA: http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Desktop-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST3000DM001/dp/B005T3GRLY
Optic Drive: ASUS Black 12X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135247
Apologies if this is clunky, as this is my first question here. Any advice on these parts or better alternatives for a good price are welcome. I would also like it if hardware recommendations don't push the budget too far past $1,000, I am simply looking for a decent rig (if this can be considered one) at a decent price.
A side note: If you have any tips for a newbie to the realm of PC building/gaming, please, throw em my way, as I need all the help I can get.
Whether or not you can help, cheers, and thanks for reading my request.
