Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments:
This is going to be my first build. I've done some research on the parts, but I'm a complete newb so I don't know how compatible certain parts would be etc. These are the parts I was considering using:
CPU + Motherboard-
Intel i5 + Asrock z77 Pro 3 combo
PSU- (No idea how much power I'd need)
OCZ Technology Elitexstream 1000w
or maybe
Coolermaster GX 750W 80+
GPU-
Gigabyte Geforce GTX 560 Ti Fermi 900MHZ 1gb
or
Gigabyte Radeon HD 6850 Windforce 820Mhz 1gb With the intent to crossfire in the near future
Hard Drive-
OCZ Vertex Plus 120gb 2.5IN Sata2
RAM-
Kingston Hyperx 2x4gb DDR3 1600mhz
Optical Drive-
Asus DRW-24b1ST 24x SATA DVD Writer
External Storage-
Seagate Expansion 2TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive
So is there anything I should change, and are the parts I've listed compatible? I'm mostly curious about the PSU/Mobo, especially if I were to go the crossfire Radeon route.
