Hello guys,
I've decided to build a computer myself, to reduce cost and get more for my money. The only problem is, I haven't done this before, so I would really appreciate if someone with a knowledge of this kind of thing can tell me if there's any problems with the following:
Processor: Intel Core i7 - 2700K (3.50 GHz)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-390-IN
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-390-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=2261
Memory: TeamGroup Elite 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600 MHz Dual Channel Kit
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-019-TG&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517
Graphics Card: XFX HD 6850 1GB DDR5 VGA DVI HDMI PCI-E
http://www.ebuyer.com/391772-xfx-hd-6850-1gb-ddr5-dual-dvi-dual-mini-displayport-hdmi-pci-e-hd-685x-zcfc
Internal Storage: Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM 1TB SATA 6GB/s 64MB cache
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-257-SE&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=1279
Solid State Drive: OCZ Agility 3 60GB 2.5" SATA 6GB/s
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-075-OC&groupid=701&catid=2104&subcat=910
CPU Cooler: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2 CPU Cooler (Socket 939/AM2/AM3/775/1155/1156/1366)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-035-AR
Intake Fan: Arctic F8 PWM case fan - 80mm
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-027-AR&groupid=701&catid=2331&subcat=819
Outtake Fan: Artic F12 PWM case fan - 120mm
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-029-AR&groupid=701&catid=2331&subcat=4
Case: Galaxy III Tower Case - Black(500W)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-017-OP&groupid=2362&catid=505&subcat=
The whole system comes to: £649.16
Is each component proportionate to the rest of the system, or is there something that needs to be desperately up/downgraded? (I'm a little worried whether the mobo is up to the job.)
Will it all physically fit together, and be compatible, without any errors?
Is a 500W PSU going to be enough if there's a chance I'll overclock it, and is there sufficient ventilation/cooling?
Are the brands I have chosen good/bad? I'd rather pay more and never have to replace something, than buy it on the cheap.
And lastly, is it good value for money, or is there a pre-built system out there you've found that's better/cheaper?
Thanks in advance to all replies!
