First gaming pc build

[andre056]

Hey everyone I’m new to pc building so I was hoping I could get some feedback on what I have put together so far. I would like to know if there are any incompatibilities, bottlenecks and any better suggestions that anyone may have. This is what I have so far:


Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146067

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341049

Optical drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827151233

HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148697

GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125384

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428

Every thing is compatible with each other but I would like to make some suggestions:

HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185&Tpk=Samsung%20Spinpoint%20f3

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371049

The gigabyte one is probably quieter than the rest. EVGA is a good brand though with great customer service. Your board supports x8/x8 if you plan to sli you should get at least 1000-1200W otherwise you're fine. Beautiful case (I want the black and orange limited edition one) and everything works great no bottlenecks.

Good to know everything is compatible with each other with no bottlenecks. I would like to know the difference between the HDD's. Is it from personal experience? Also is the Antec power supply better than OCZ

Antec HCG 750W

OCZ ZS 750W [review for 550W i believe but yeah...]

Antec has a 5 year warranty and is also reliable and they usually release quality psu. OCZ should work as fine but I prefer Antec over it. That's just my preference.
