Thank you all so much! It's really great that helpful internet communities like this exist.
Intend to order this ASAP.
Use is gaming at 1900x1080 resolution.
Assembly in USA.
Purchasing parts from Newegg.
Already have picked out monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers.
No overclocking or SLI/Crossfire.
Case - Corsair Obsidian 650D
Motherboard - MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3) (PCI 3)
CPU - i5 2400 3.1 GHz
GPU - GeForce 560 Ti
PSU - Antec BD 550 Plus modular
Memory - Corsair Vengence 2x2 GB DDR3 (PC3 16000)
HDD - Western Digital Caviar Blue WD2500AAKX 250 GB 16 MB cache
Optical Drive - Sony Optiarc 24x DVD burner
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Specific questions:
-I think (hope) there are no compatibility issues...
-Are there any bottlenecks? Will by CPU or my memory bottleneck my GPU?
-Is the power supply enough?
-I would like to play modern and upcoming games such as SC2, LoL, Tribes:Ascend, and Guild Wars 2 at 1900x1080 resolution and 60 fps and medium settings. Will this be enough?
-Upgradability: As the computer becomes outdated, I would like to be able to upgrade the PSU, GPU, and memory to keep up with modern games. Is there anything that will prevent me from doing so a year or two down the road? Also, I intend to upgrade to SSD in the future.
Thank you all so much. This website and the community have already been extremely helpful to me in putting together this build!
