Last response: in Systems
Share

I want to be able to run most modern games at at least decent graphics, will this do the trick? Don't know if all these are compatible as well.
thanks in advance for any help.

CPU: i5-2500
[http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...]

MOBO: Biostar TZ68+ ATX LGA1155 Motherboard (not really too sure about this one)
[http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...]

MEMORY: G SKILL RIPJAWS X SERIES 8 GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
[http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...]

HARD DRIVE: SAMSUNG SPINPOINT F3 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache
[http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...]

VIDEO CARD: GTX 560 Ti
[http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...]

POWER SUPPLY: [suggestions needed]

CASE: [suggestions needed]

MONITOR: [already have]

additional information that'll really help
1. Do you plan on SLI in future
2. As DeusAres said...your budget
3. Do you plan to OC (your current mobo choice supports it but cpu does not)?

add this info and someone would be able to suggest PSU and case and whether your cpu-mobo combo is the best bang for buck...

i'm looking to spend around $800, sorry thought i put that in the OP.
i'm not planning on SLI and i'm not too interested in overclocking but i'm not against it, so if there's a better deal involving OC then by all means

Here, try something like this...

Just use the above as a base build. If there's something else that suits your interest, feel free to change it.

If you want to save a few dollars, you can just change the 3570k to a 2500k. You'll lose out on the new ivy bridge features such as pci 3.0, but considering you won't be doing SLI or crossfire, you won't particularly need it. Also, the 2500k doesn't run as hot as the ivy bridge; therefore it'll be much easier to access higher overclocks.

the PSU I recommended is actually modular as well. This should help with cable management.

I changed the RAM to gskill sniper so you won't run into clearance issues with the hyper 212's massive heatsink.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
