Hey all,
First time post from a first-time builder, looking for criticisms!
I'm looking to build a computer that is solid for gaming and all around fast/long lasting for everything else (I'm a graduate student)
Is there anything I should downgrade/upgrade here? Any additions you recommend? Again, any/all criticisms are welcome
i5 3570k Ivybridge CPU $190
ASUS P8Z77-V LK ATX Mobo $90 (w/ purchase of CPU)
Corsair Vengeance 2x4 GB RAM $44
Samsung 830 128 GB SSD $120
Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM HD $75
XFX Radeon 7850 2GB GPU $230
Corsair 650d Case $150
Corsair Enthusiast 650w PSU $90
ASUS VE228H 21.5" Monitor $150
Total: 1200-1300
What do you guys think? Also, I'm up for suggestions when it comes to quiet/durable/midquality keyboards and mice. Thanks for all of your help!
