Howdy, I'm building a gaming rig for the first time but I actually know a fair amount about computer stuffs and I have picked out some parts as seen below.
But my major worry or concern is that I want to:
A. Make sure it won't overheat. (I don't have any immediate plans for OC'ing)
B. Make sure my CPU won't bottleneck my GPU.
PARTS:
CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz Quad core
GPU: EVGA 02G-P4-2678-KR GeForce GTX 670 2 GB
HEAT SINK: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 120mm
I want to be play pretty much every game out now (ARMA 2, BF3 etc.) and I also play a lot of older games too. I'm not a graphics snob but I want the games to look nice and I don't want to have to upgrade for a while. So I don't know if this is overkill or not.
Finally, is the Six-core i7 worth it? Because I REALLY don't want to spend that much but if it's a night and day difference I just might have to.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
