I have never built a pc before, but I have finally reached the point where I feel I know enough to give it a go. (Thanks to forums like this one, overclock.net, and newegg's very helpful video tutorial on how to actually build the pc.)
Basically I have a few questions on my current build and am looking for any constructive criticism. So here it is.
Case - Thermaltake lvl 10 GT
Motherboard - ASUS P8Z68 - V PRO/GEN3 (my questions on this are : how "future-proof is this motherboard and, it may sound stupid, but are there any motherboards similar to this that are black or black and red? I'm not a huge fan of the bright blue color.)
PSU - Corsair professional series HX750
CPU - Intel core i5 2500k 3.3Ghz( some people recommend getting the i7's for a little more, I was just wondering your opinions on this. )
CPU Fan - Coolermaster hyper 212
SSD - Crucial M-4 128Gb (maybe 256Gb)
HDD - Western digital Caviar Black 1Tb
Ram - G skill Ares Series 8Gb (2x4)
Optical drive - LG back 10x BD-ROM 16x DVD-ROM
GPU - AMD 7970( this is where I'm having some trouble, with all the different manufacturers and various negative and positive reviews on them I have no clue. )
Other info:
Overclocking: Maybe.
SLI/Crossfire: Maybe.
OS: Purchasing windows 7 HP
Monitor: Purchasing a 1920x1080
Any constructive criticism or advice is much appreciated and thanks in advance.
