Hello,
I'm buying PC components online and will put them together myself. After much research, I have finalized on the following. But I don't have much knowledge/experience in this stuff.
Please verify whether these components are compatible with each other.
CPU = Intel 3.4 GHz LGA 1155 Core i7 3770
storage = Seagate Barracuda 1 TB ST31000524AS
RAM = Corsair XMS3 DDR3 CMX8GX3M1A1600C11 (1 x 8 GB)
MotherBoard = Intel DQ77MK
SSD boot = Samsung 830 64GB SSD (MZ-7PC064B/WW)
GPU = ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 Synergy Edition 1GB DDR3
the GPU needs PCIe (2.0 x16) but the Motherboard provides either (2.0 x4) or (3.0 x16) would the GPU fit on the motherboard?
and how to know if the GPU size (with the heatsink/fan) is not too large so that other things will fit on the motherboard properly?
The GPU recommends 300w power supply - would I need a special SMPS and a special case/cabinet?
Also, if I use my 1920 x 1080 tv as the monitor, would this PC be compatible?
Will the default BIOS support SSD booting?
Thanks in advance
