Hello guys I am going to order these parts tonight. If you guys have advice on something I should change which would give a better price to performance ratio I am open minded. I will be using the PC primarily for gaming: Here are the parts:
CPU: i5-3570k
Memory: 8GB (4x2) Corsair Vengeance 1600
Motherboard: (I need some advice here I was thinking of the pro4 but there is a couple other options within my price range)
#1: Asrock z77 Pro4 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157296
#2: Gigabyte GA-z77-ds3h http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Intel-1155-Motherboard-GA-Z77-DS3H/dp/B007R21JWC/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1340668780&sr=1-1&keywords=Gigabyte+GA-Z77-ds3h
Keep in mind I won't ever SLI and would like to do some modest overclocking. If you have experience with these do you know if Corsair Vengeance will fit with an aftermarket CPU cooler?
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 1.5TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache
GPU: HIS IceQ X Radeon 7850 2GB
Case: Cooler Master Elite 430
Power Supply: Corsair CX600V2
Optical Drive: Sony AD-7280S-0B 24x SATA Internal DVD+/-RW Drive
Extra Case Fans: Cooler Master 120mm Silent Blue LED Case Fan 2-in-1 Value Pack
So what do you guys think? Is everything compatible? Is this a decent mid range gaming PC? Let me know any thoughts or suggestions you guys had as I am open minded but would like to get all of this nailed down tonight so I can order parts! Thanks.
