Hello everyone,
I'm looking to get a new pc, which I will use mostly for gaming. I've decided to build one instead of buying a prebuilt.
So, tell me what you guys think of this build and any recommendations you may have.
I want to be able to run games on the highest setting, and I may do some overclocking.
In the future I also may want to run dual video cards(probably Crossfire because AMDs seem more affordable).
I don't want to spend more than $1000 really, but I'd probably move a little(definitely wouldn't mind spending less).
I want a system that will keep me on top of the game. Last thing, I'm starting from scratch so I will have to pick up a keyboard and monitor also.
(all from newegg)
Processor- 3rd gen i5 3570k $230
Motherboard- Asrock z77 extreme LGA 1155 $135
RAM- Gskill Ares 8gb (2x4gb) comes free with motherboard
Harddrive- Seagagte Barracudda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM $110
SSD- Mushkin Enhanced Chronos MKNSSDCR120GB 2.5" 120GB SATA III $100
Video card- HIS iCooler Radeon HD 7770 1GB $130
PSU- Corsair Enthusiast TX650 V2 650watt $90
Case- Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX $106
DVD- ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner - Bulk - OEM $20
total $921 without shipping, monitor, or keyboard.
Let me know what you think, how well it will perform, and if I'm missing anything.
oh and the OS- Windows 7 premium..it's about $100 right?
