I am about ready to pull the trigger and order components for my first computer build. The main function of the computer will be for home use and occasionally will work-from-home using Revit and ACAD (not rendering in 3D, only wireframe at most). I would also like it to be able to do some gaming as well. I play BF3 a fair amount on xbox and am thinking of venturing into the PC version. So handling games of that caliber would be nice.
I was wondering if anyone could give me their thoughts on the components I've selected and let me know if there is anything I should change to improve price to performance ratio.
MB - ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA
CPU - Intel i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3 GHz
RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) (x2 = 16GB total)
VC - EVGA 01G-P3-1556-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) FPB 1GB 192-bit GDDR5
HD - Western Digital Cavier Green WD10EARX 1TB SATA
PS - Rosewill Green Series RG530-S12 530W Continuous
OpDri - ASUS DRW-24B1ST
I also selected the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1. I am not sure if I will overclock anything but if I do I would like to have the additional cooling. Any thoughts on this would be great.
Thanks,
Andrew
