Hi again. As this will be my first PC build, I want to be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that I will get the performance I want for what I am buying. Here is my build, I'll be purchasing it tomorrow afternoon. The only thing I'm undecided on is the video card so I would appreciate the help on that. Also, I would not be opposed to SLIing an earlier gen card if someone would recommend it over 1 current gen card. Anyway, here it is.
-ASUS P8Z77-V Motherboard
-i7 3770k (Maybe OCing, I hear it's a pretty simple task)
-Corsair H80 CPU Cooling (For OCing)
-16 GB G.Skill Ripjaws RAM (Don't mention 8 gb, I feel better with 16)
-Either GTX 670, AMD XFX 7970 Black Edition, or GTX 680 if it's in stock tomorrow (HELP HELP)
-1 TB HDD (Western Digital Caviar Blue 7200 RPM 6gbs)
-Crucial M4 128GB SSD
-ASUS DVD Optical Drive
-Windows 7 Home Premium
-Corsair TX850w (For SLI/XFire in the future maybe)
-NZXT Phantom 410 Case (White)
-Microsoft Sidewinder X4 Keyboard
-Razer Deathadder Mouse
The main purpose of this is GAMING as I've said in my previous post with a small role for schoolwork (powerpoint, word, excel) and itunes, etc.
TOP PRIORITY GAMES:
**Batman Arkham City
**SWTOR
**BF3
**Max Payne 3
GW 2
AC 3
Far Cry 3
I just want to max these games with no issues. Please help me put my mind at ease with my first build haha. I'm tired of thinking about it lol
