Critique my Build 700-800

[Shilaylay]

I am looking to put together my first build ever so ANY information/advice etc is appreciated. I have been overwhelmed by the amount of expertise the people on this site have. I will be using this for some gaming, multi-tasking and playing captured video on software I have. I am a coach and will be breaking the video of my players down with this software. My last computer was over 10 years ago so I am excited. For my uses is a SSD worth the money?

to OC you need the 2500K processor
but it wont help a great deal for games where the limitaion is usually the graphics processor

The rosewill case won an award from Tomshardware for being cheap . In the article they said they wish thay had had enough money in the budget for an Antec 300 because the rosewill was made of thin metal and cheap plastic

I really am not set on the case...I am just looking for something around that price range that is well ventilated....as far as the GPU is concerned, do you think that is a good enough GPU to play most games?

chek how close r u to microcenter .. ther is one in santa clara
u can pick up nice 2500k + ASUS combo
GPU is good .. also what resolution r u gaming on ?
also might whanna consider aftermarket heatsink for ur CPU

To play most games? yes. To play most games at impressive settings? No. However it's about the card one would expect to see in your price range. The build looks good. I would get the low profile Vengance instead of the regular ones in case you install an aftermarket cooler.

As Outlander_04 already said, you'll want the i5-2500K if you want to overclock and the Antec 300 is a sturdier case.

Yes, I meant to put i5K 2500k that was a typo....ty for the advice on the ram I had never thought about it!

I am about 3 hours away from a Santa Clara unfortunately.

Can anyone tell me a suitable SSD for this build? If I went to a more expensive Case does anyone have suggestions? Thinking less than $100

 

[Outlander_04]

Antec 300
Antec 300 Illusion
Coolermaster HAF

 

[madchemist83]

Cooler master rc-690 II advanced imo best case for the money and feafures
If u can find bitfenix raider it's a good one too

It's hard to fit an SSD on your budget, but if you want a $100 SSD there are two choices in my opinion - the Crucial M4 64GB and the Samsung 830 64GB. Right now the M4 is $112 on newegg and the 830 is $95 on newegg but those prices are a little volatile around this kind of year.

I will warn you that a good chunk of those who buy 64GB boot drives find themselves wishing they'd have splurged for a 120GB+ drive. Between the size of windows and the size of games and the fact that SSD's perform worse when they pass 80% capacity, 64GB cuts it close. If you think you're going to be fine with 64GB then go for it, but you might be better off saving up for a larger drive.
