First Build, need advice

[marlindafish]

Greetings All,

I have been using this site to help threw the very long and tedious process of picking my parts for my first attempt at a build. So i would like to thank everyone for all the info they posted and/or question they asked. After all the research i have my components in my cart ready for the buy button. So i thought i would run it by you guys who have helped me so much. This build will be used for moderate to heavy gaming.



I have already bought a few parts from my local dealer. I will list those first, then the rest from newegg.com. So please give me any advice you can give since this is all new to me. Again thanks for all the help you have given me already

I already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, Ect.. Now first question i know thats going to be asked is why i have a hyper 212 if i dont plan on over clocking. Well simple answers is, I have heard the stock cooler is junk and it just looks neat. I have already checked and the RAM will fit with this cooler. So please let me know if i need to change anything or swap parts.

Thanks again guys

What are you going to use your computer for? If it's mainly gaming, you do not need the 2600.

Better card.

You could get that, but 60gb I feel is a bit small. Just a suggestion.

MUCH. MUCH. BETTER HARD DRIVE..

You bought Quad channel ram. LGA 1155 is Dual channel. If you really want 16gb.. Then..

Wow you guys act quick. Thanks for that quick advice. Yes the build will be mainly gaming. OK the 2600 is more CPU, drop down to 2500. With the money i take out of the CPU i can get a bigger SSD. I got tons of info in 5min flat you guys are great Thanks gary1 for the info.
