Chassis: Coolermaster HAF 932
CPU: Intel i5 2500k 3.2Ghz
Memory: 2x2x2x2 Gb
MoBo: ASUS Pro p8p67
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 560
PSU: Antec EA 750W
with assorted peripherals (mouse, monitor, network card, etc)
So, thats it. That is my first build i have ever begun to build. Last part is shipping (the mobo) and every state it gets closer freaks me out a little bit more that ill damage something putting this all together. I built this for the sole reason of upgrading my current mac (computer on easy mode as ive learned so far) to watch movies, play games, and general online recreation. I plan to overclock the cpu to a safe and stable ghz as well as my gpu. My questions are is this an appropriate build (will some parts slow others down), is this even built to overclock, and ANY suggestions from professional or experienced builders that arnt already covered in any of the million DIY computer building guides (ive read probably 999,999 of them). Also, do i really need that yellow anti static bracelet thing? Some people say its for pu**ies but hey, id rather look one then see my baby shocked to death. Ive considered building this naked on a wood floor to prevent shocks as well (slightly kidding). Thank you for any and all advice.
Hopefully in the past,
My dualcore.
