Last response: in Systems

Hello i am building my first computer and have looked at some posts and liked this set up the best.

I have a couple newb questions that are, Do all the parts usaly come with all the cables and hook ups needed?
The other is that i would like this computer to last 3-4 years without upgrading anything other then the vid card if it is possible.
I will not be running any 3d, just games on highest settings and im happy.

I would also just like a seconed opinion of the parts if there is anything i should change around.

There is no need for the 1000W PSU. That is incredibly overkill.

The 560 will not be able to run new games at the highest settings. I have seen good reviews for that gpu, but it still won't be able to handle newer games at highest settings.

EDIT: And yes, most components come with needed: cables, software, etc. Cpu coolers even come with thermal paste already on them (Most of them)

True and now that I think about it I haven't really seen a lot of good reviews for the Silent Pro series - the Corsair AX850 would probably be a better choice or the Seasonic X850 Gold.

And maybe drop the case to the 400R and the motherboard to the UD3P and then you could spend the nearly $90 difference in those places on getting the 570 instead of the 560.

Only liquid coolers and the stock Intel and AMD coolers come with pre-applied thermal paste. Most aftermarket air coolers come with their own - Noctua's is one of the best.

EDIT: I agree with putting more money towards your GPU. You went all out on just about every component except the GPU. Which for a gaming PC, is backward. I agree with G-Unit in dropping down to "lower" other components to allow you to purchase a more powerful GPU.

(sorry I can't really make too informed suggestions about components, I use AMD) :whistle:

Im pretty sure my Coolermaster V8 came with Paste pre-applied.....I may be wrong though, my memory sucks.
