Hi guys i'm trying to build a gaming PC for my girlfriend so i kept the major parts above the average and the others economic.
These are the parts I've chosen so far:
INTEL Core i7-2600 3.40 GHz LGA1155
GIGABYTE GA-Z68M-D2H Z68 LGA1155 DDR3-2133
MSI R6950 Twin Frozr II/OC HD6950 2GB GDDR5 256Bit
WESTERN DIGITAL Scorpio Blue (WD5000BPVT) 2.5" 500GB SATA
G.SKILL Sniper (F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2) 8 GB Dual Kit (2x4GB) DDR3-1600Mhz CL9
SAMSUNG SH-S222AB DVD writer 22X SATA OEM Bulk
TX Sonic (TXCHSONIC730BB) 730W USB Black Case
Windows 7 Home Basic 64 bit
Sound Blaster Audigy 64 Bit
Is the PSU enough for such system? I know that the MSI6950 eats up so much power.
Is the case big enough to contain such huge Graphics Card? It can be replaced with a bigger one.
Is there any part which may/will cause a bottleneck?
It is important for me that everything is in order. Afterall, it's her first desktop PC ever and she is very into gaming I don't wanna be the one who is responsible for a motivation meltdown here
Thanks in advance.
