I am looking to build a new computer and have been doing a lot of research over the past few days. I have most of the parts picked out, but there are still some components I would like some advice picking out. I will be using this computer for gaming, programming, web design, and normal everyday use.
This is what I have picked out so far. I am adding links to where I will be getting the parts from. The processor and motherboard are the ones I am getting for sure. If someone has some recommendations for better parts around a similar price range for some of the other components, I am open to suggestions.
Processor: Intel i5-2500k - $179.99
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 - $159.99 (After 50 dollar discount if bought with processor)
Power Supply: SeaSonic M12II - $79.99
Cooling Fan: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus - $29.99
I already have 8gb of DDR3 RAM, a DVD burner, and a hard drive.
The parts I need help picking out are a case and a video card.
Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next 1-2 weeks.
Country: United States
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Not right away, but definitely in the future.
Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Additional Comments: I have looked at so many cases and have NO idea which one to go with. Same thing goes for the video card. I would prefer if the case has USB 3.0 but it's definitely not a deal breaker. I am looking to stay below $150 for a case and around $250 for the video card.
Any advice is appreciated. Again, if anyone has some better recommendations for the cooling fan or power supply, I am definitely open to suggestions.
