Hello Tomshardware,
First time poster here; Firstly I’d like to start off by saying, I knew practically nothing about computer hardware prior to a few of days ago, in which I spent approximately, a collective sixteen hours researching parts.
I stumbled across the site while researching for my rig, and fell in love with the site instantly. I used the sight for a lot of my general research, and really appreciate all the help the members have given in these forums.
With that said, let’s get down to it.
I’ve decided to build my first gaming PC, in the next week or so. I’m under a budget of about 1200 after shipping.
I mainly plan on using the rig for MMO gaming, game-capture, video editing, with Adobe Effects, Sony Vegas, maybe possibly some live streaming.
I already have a 1920 x 1080 monitor, gaming pad, keyboard, and gaming mouse.
I prefer to buy from Newegg, and Amazon, but I don’t mind using other trusted sites as-well.
Located in the US, Florida.
I’m not sure about over clocking, maybe at a later date.
So after a bit of research here’s what I came up with.
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($215.99 @ NCIX US)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($27.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($144.98 @ Outlet PC)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($56.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($88.98 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($88.98 @ Newegg)
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti 2GB Video Card ($254.98 @ Newegg)
Sound Card: Asus Xonar DG 24-bit 96 KHz Sound Card ($20.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case ($49.49 @ SuperBiiz)
Power Supply: Antec 750W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($99.98 @ Outlet PC)

Total: $1067.33

So, my question is, will this set up work out? Is there anything that needs to be edit, or that I can do without?
