Here it is as of now:
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor
Motherboard: MSI P67A-G43 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Video Card: Galaxy 57NKH3HS4GXK GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Memory: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
PSU: Antec High Current Gamer Series HCG-750 750W ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V v2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
Case: RAIDMAX SMILODON Extreme Black ATX-612WEB 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Foldout MB Computer Case
And I've got a few questions if that's okay.
1) Does this build even work, as in do all the parts fit in the case and will it run?
2) Do I need a sound card or can I do without?
3) Would it be better to keep the P67 Mobo or possibly get a Z68 Mobo for the Quicksync and possibility of SSD caching if I ever upgrade my HDD, or just stick with the 16x, 8x P67?
I'll be going to a Micro Center for most of these parts, so after the rebates and all, it settles in at about $990. Is this a good build?
Please let me know what you think, I'd like to hear if I should change anything out, since I'm still new to this whole thing. Thanks!
