Additional Comments:
So I'm planning to buy these:
- Intel Core i5-2500K ($225) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072
- GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD3-B3 ($130) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128476
- CORSAIR XMS 4GB 1600 ($50) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145339
- EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti SC ($295) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130628
- Corsair Builder Series CX500 ($70) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139018
Total: ~$770
But I'll buy the GTX 560 & CX500 first (this month and will be used with my current system: Core 2 Duo E7500) and buy the rest next month.
I'll be using it for casual 3D modelling, gaming, and programming.
So what do you think about my build? Will the CX500 be able to handle all of them?
Also is it worth the money if I replace the processor with i7 2600K?
Please suggest me if you have a better option.
Thanks.
