I am building a new system specifically for gaming. I'd like to keep it at or below 1200 $. Here's the stuff
(EVGA GTX 570) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130593
( 850 watt PSU) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341044
(CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) ) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145345
(ASRock Z77 Extreme6 mobo) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157295
(Intel core i7-2600k) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115070
(120 GB SSD) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226318
(COOLMASTER fan) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065
(DVD drive) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106352
(Case) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153
I already have the fan, DVD drive, and case so those can't really change. With the other parts, I am aiming for longevity. I want something that will be easy to upgrade in the future. I know the basics about matching up RAM, CPU's, mobo's, etc. but I am certainly no expert. I guess I have three big questions.
1.) Are these parts all compatible? This is my biggest concern.
2.) Does this look like a pretty efficient build, or is there something I should consider changing?
3.) I have an HDD from my current computer that I am hoping to use. ( I plan to put all of the games and OS on the SSD) It's definitely on the old side though... My question is: are these things pretty universal? I don't need a fast one, I just want some extra storage.
