$1200-$1500 gaming PC help

[lonemedic007]

Hello!

This is my first complete build. I've changed graphics cards, RAM, etc. but never actually built a whole computer myself. I don't want any unforeseen problems when I am assembling it... any feedback would be awesome! I've read a lot of the guides on the forum and have learned quite a bit, I just want to make sure everything will work before ordering! Thanks in advance!

Approximate Purchase Date: A week to a month

Budget Range: $1200-$1500

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming

Parts Not Required: I need everything except the mouse since I am moving from a laptop to a desktop. So a keyboard and monitor need to be included in the budget.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg

Country of Origin: United States

Parts Preferences: Intel & Nvidia

Overclocking: Maybe in the future when I learn how to do it but not initially

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe SLI in the future to keep up with games

Monitor Resolution: The monitor I am looking at is 1920x1080

Additional Comments: It needs to light up like a Christmas tree

Parts:

I love the look of the hundred series but I'm not sure which one to get exactly.

Also, are there any big hardware releases coming up soon that I should wait for? Or is now as good as any time to build a new rig, I'm hoping it will hold up pretty well for at least 3 years.

Any help would be great, thanks!

how about this psu- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152043&cm_re=850w_power_supply-_-17-152-043-_-Product
looks to have great reviews and gold rated and you will be able to sli that 570

the rest looks good

 

[lonemedic007]

Thanks for the quick responses!

I think I'll stick with newegg just so I have all the parts coming in from them, the prices were really close maybe just a $15 or $20 difference total.

I've never heard of Raidmax....are they reliable and well built? I only picked the enermax because one of the guides on here suggested it...

i would get a corsair tx 850w psu for 570 sli.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139022&Tpk=corsair%20tx%20850

otherwise, everything looks good.

personally im waiting til october to build my pc, ati 7000series is coming between october-december hopefully

 

[lonemedic007]

When are the next nvidia cards coming out? Is now a good time to get the 570gtx or is there about to be a new series of cards?

i read a article on here stating all of the psu brands tomshardware trusts raidmax was one of them but only certain units. im pretty sure this would be one of the units since on newegg no one has had problems with it and it is gold rated

 

[mjmjpfaff]

also amazon and superbiiz are really reliable. amazon takes back products no questions asked
