This build look good so far?
Last response: in Systems
This will be the first computer that I have built and just looking for some feedback on what I have so far and suggestions for what I dont have yet.
What I already have:
CPU
Core i5 2500K LGA 1155 Boxed Processor
Video Card
Radeon HD 6850
RAM
CORSAIR XMS 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMX8GX3M2A1600C9
Motherboard
GA-Z68AP-D3 LGA 1155 Z68 ATX Intel Motherboard
What I need to get:
Hard Drive
500GB would be fine for this, I have a 1TB external hard drive, just not sure if seagate or western digital is better.
Power Supply
Thinking at least 600W, I read that Corsair is good but are other brands fine as well? Rosewill seemed to have a good deal on Newegg today.
Rosewill Green Series RG630-S12 630W Continuous @40°C,80 PLUS Certified, Single 12V Rail, Active PFC "Compatible with Core i7,i5" Power Supply
Was $90 Now is $60.

Case
Getting a mid tower, after that not too sure.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The PSU is a bit better (name - more rails/connectors)
And you can't do much better than this case.

Your PSU will be fine. Those rosewill's are actually quite good. Hardware secrets did a whole writeup on them and they surpassed their expectations and gave it their "Gold" award.

For case either the Antec 300 or the HAF 912 (as ugly as it is![:p]( ":p")
) are both good options. The Coolermaster Elite 430 is another.
