I have been saving to build a badass gaming pc for a few months now and am almost at my budget. This will be my first time building a pc. I have done lots of reaserch over the past few months but would really appreciate some feedback on the build i have planned out, most importantly I would like to know if my powersupply can handle the parts I have chosen and If im wasting money anywhere. I've used AMD/ATI graphics/processors for years now and would really like to go with an i7 and nvidia graphics card in this build for a change. Here are my specs:
- Gigabyte gtx 670 2gb overclocked (windforce)
- i7 2600k
- OCZ ZX Series 850w modular power supply
- Corsair Vengance 8 or 16gb ddr3 memory
- Asus p8z68-v/gen3 motherboard
- OCZ Agility 3 120gb ssd
- Seagate Barracuda 1tb hdd
- Haf 932 Advanced full tower case
- Lite-on dvd writer
- Corsair h100 liquid cooler
- AeroCool Shark 120mm red led fan (to fit beside the h100)
Please tell me what you think of these specs and If there is any room for improvement such as a better part for around the same price as one listed. As I said above I would really like to know if the power supply should be able to handle all the parts but I appreciate any and all feedback you guys have. I plan on overclocking the cpu a bit. Thank you in advance for your responses!
