Hello. First of all, this is gonna be my first time building a computer.
I've been doing a lot of research in the last few days but i'm still a bit confuse about some components.
---------------------------
Approximate Purchase Date: this month
Budget Range: $900-$1100
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (I would like to run BF3 at max settings if possible), programming, multitasking, using virtual machines...
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, speakers...
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I have no website preferences
Country: Spain
Parts Preferences: I have no brand preferences
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Not at the moment
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
---------------------------
The build I have in mind right now looks like this:
CPU: i5 2500k
Motherboard: ASRock Z68 extreme3 gen3
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X (2x4Gb) 1600MHz, 9-9-9-24 1.5V
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB SATA3
PSU: Corsair TX650 V2 650w
Case: Thermaltake v4 Black Edition
GPU: MSI GeForce 560 Ti - 448c Twin frozr III PE/OC 1GB DDR5
----------------------------
Comments:
1) I'm in doubt between the ASRock mobo and ASUS. Is the ASRock mentioned above enough for my purposes?
2) I'm going to overclock the CPU between 4.0 and 4.5GHz, is the CM 212 evo ok for that? And, in case I overclock the gpu in the future, could that PSU handle it?
3) If something could be better in this build, please, let me know
Thanks!
