Hello! I am currently anticipating building my first computer. I have done what seems like months of research, but still need an experienced eye to check out my current build.
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 - $49.99
PSU: Corsair Builder Series CX600 - $69.99
Motherboard: Asrock 970 Extreme 3 - $89.99
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 960 - $109.99
Cooler: Cooler Master hyper 212 - $29.99
RAM: PNY Optima 8GB (2 x 4GB) PC10666 1333MHz 1.6V - $34.99
HD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 7200RPM - $99.99
Optical: MSI DVD Burner - included with HD
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 - $149.99
The questions I have about this build-
1. I did some research on the PSU, and I believe it is a top mount PSU. Will it work in the case that has the mount on the bottom??
2. Should I go for the Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 instead for a little more?
3. Will the GPU fit into the case, on the MoBo?
4. If I downgrade the HD 500gb to something less, what should I go for? (119 for HD is a bit much for my blood)
5. Does everything fit, and is it compatible?
6. I assume the PSU will connect to the motherboard, but can you check the specs to make sure?
These questions are detremental to my interests. If you could answer them, I would GREATLY appreciate it, and you would help me beyond what you know. I've anticipated this for months. I am always regretful on my purchases, and this is not one I want to add to my list.
