Hi TH,
I will be building my first gaming desktop sometime in May. With this build, I will be doing a heavy amount of gaming, and will likely play graphic intensive games like Battlefield 3, and military strategy games like Shogun 2 Total War.
I'm looking to play these games, and new games in
*1080p(or a little less) in Med-High detail
I have already decided to use, and have payed for:
*i5 2500k processor
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004EBUXHQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
and
*ASUS HD7850
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007JLFV7U/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=A1729W3053T57N
While I do plan to do heavy overclocking in the future, I'm on a budget, and only have about 350$ left to spend on fans, the case, the psu, ram, mobo, etc. I will probably only over clock to about 3.8 GHZ upon building, so I don't danger the PC parts.
What's the best build with these items, but still doesn't compromise the life of the GPU and processor. I will likely upgrade this build after the summer, for better cooling and insulation, but for now, I just need a complete desktop.
Thank you for your help in advance.
