Hi there, I've assembled a list of components that I have put together after reading countless forum postings. I would like to hear what you have to say about it, all comments/criticism/advice will be thoughtfully considered. This machine will be used mainly for gaming (D3, BF3) and watching movies along with very slight amounts of 3d modeling. Price range is approximately $1100 as stated. Your help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!
Intel i5-3570k
MSI Z77A - G45
Sapphire HD 7850
GSkill Ripjaws X Series 8GB 1333 MHz (should I bother getting 1600 MHz?)
PC Power and Cooling 750W Silencer MK II
CoolerMaster HF 922
CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus (Does this fit the ivy bridge processor I selected above)
128GB Crucial M4 SSD
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 7200 RPM HD
ASUS 24x DVD Burner
The above totals to about $1125
Some of the more pressing questions on my mind are: will my psu fit in the hf 922? Will the hf 922 fit the hyper 212 Plus cpu cooler I picked? These can probably be answered best by people who have had experience with those products (or similar) since I can't really visualize it myself. Are there any incompatabilities with this build? Any comments or advice? Every response is helpful, thank you again!
