Purchase: This/next week, depending on whether the parts are available.
Budget range: 1000 - 1100 euros (1200 to 1300 with monitor)
System usage: Surfing the internet, watching movies and if all goes well coding.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes. (But, I want to buy all the parts first and see if the on-board sound works, so I'll know if I should buy a monitor I can plug headphones in.)
OS: Linux (Ubuntu 12.04, possibly)
O/C: Maybe
SLI/Crossfire: Don't think so
Anyway, here are the parts:
Intel Core i5 3570k
Asrock z77 extreme4
Kingston 8GB HyperX Genesis 1600MHz CL9 (Kit of two)
Intel 120GB SSD 330
Western Digital 2TB Caviar Black SATA III
Corsair Enthusiast Series Modular TX650M
Corsair Hydro Series H60 Liquid CPU Cooler
Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus
Logitech Desktop MK120
Do you see any compatibility issues?
Is the PSU good for the build, should I go for something with more "juice"?
Is the liquid cooling a good decision? I figure since I may be O/Cing, I might as well get it.
What do you think about the case? Is it spacious enough for my components? Should I get additional fans>
Would 1833MHz ram make a big difference? (I don't think so.)
Also, do you think I should get a Graphics Card, or are the Intel 4000 HD graphics good enough?
Any advice/suggestions in general?
