Hello tom's hardware members i am new to this site and i was looking for some opinions on a new gaming build I'm putting together,its my first so i would really appreciate your thoughts and opinions on it.
Motherboard : ASUS sabertooth p67 Rev 3.0, Sockel 1155, ATX, DDR3
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K Box, LGA1155
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 570 HD Superclocked, 1280MB DDR5, PCI-Express
EDIT PSU: changed to this Corsair Enthusiast Series TX850 V2 PSU from the original cooler master silent pro 850w
EDIT 2 CASE: What do you guys think about an Antec 900 hundred it looks awesome and only 100 euro
EDIT HDD: changed from Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA 3 6GB/s to the Samsung SpinPoint F3 1000GB, SATA II (HD103SJ) as recommended
RAM: 8GB-Kit Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 MHz CL9
EDIT Optical Drives: Sony NEC Optiarc DDU1681S Schwarz, removed second optical drive
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
I have a few quetions i would like to be anwsered about this build.
Q1 Does have this build the ability to overclock without damaging any of the components.
Q2 Are there any components that are known to have problems in any area like boot up times, BIOS malfunction hardware malfunctions etc
Q3 Will this play games like BF3 and Crysis 2 on high to ultra settings with a high fps, no lag and AA moderately turned up.
Q4 are there any components you know of that are generally cheaper and will do just as good a job as these playing games on the settings stated above.
Q5 Are all these components compatible with each other.
Q6 I'm trying to save as much money as i can on this build do i need the optical drives.
I'm hoping you can Answer my questions.
EDIT by the way i live in ireland so alot of the US store's like Newegg are not available to me but feel free to still use those sites as references to components so i can look for them in Ireland and as my last question;
Q7 what is your personal opinion on this build is it high spec, have you used a similar one before , is it good enough for most games
BTW I'm a NOOB to this whole process so if i ask stupid questions tell me and don't be too harsh just try to answer them
