Avoid Windows 8 if your doing any serious gaming.

 

[engterry]

can i ask why and if u have any comment on my specs or any modifications pls tell me i wanna take ppl opinion

 

[boulbox]

Windows 8 is kind of like windows XP, its a kind of business PC but since most of the companies already have windows XP or upgraded into a mac windows 8 is almost worthless. just stick with win7 i say.

for PC build i would do this

this is from amazon only but if you really want some deals i would say to buy maybe a few from newegg.

i have an option to change from i5 3470 to i5 3570k and ofc from H77 to Z77 on the other hand will lose caviar black and get caviar blue is that worth it or not ?please need a help with that decision

^ You arent OCing, so no. And Windows 8 is a mobile operating system being ported to desktops, do you think thats right? Its recieved a bunch of negative criticisms so far, so I wouldnt go that route.

+1 to boulbox. Good build.

+1 to boulbox. Good build.

well im trying to consider OCing since i play world of warcraft and also i use civil 3d,so the question is will i feel the great diffrenence if i OCed my cpu for these applications ?

 

[Nw333]

Not really. Maybe 5FPS at most for WoW but Civil 3D, Im not so sure. There arent much gains to OCing your CPU, people here do it for fun, mostly.

 

[engterry]

ok another considration im trying to take is going for SSD + Caviar blue instead of 1 caviar black,ofc the SSD for the system drive.

 

[Nw333]

Boulbox's build has an SSD.

 

[boulbox]

like i have said, if you can buy from other sites than amazon than you can get a lower price for the build.

some stuff from amazon have pretty good deals but you won't get everything at a good deal from amazon. i suggest trying newegg out as you can get some combo deals and such.(only good thing about amazon is pretty much the free shipping on almost everything and sometimes free tax)

 

[boulbox]

this is maybe a normal build from newegg+amazon

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1081367
asrock extreme3+i5 3570k(almost no difference between extreme3 and 4, 3 is also not available on amazon)
http://www.amazon.com/OCZ-Technology-2-5-Inch-Industrys-Warranty/dp/B007R1FH3K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1350576357&sr=8-1&keywords=vertex+4
vertex 4 128GB
http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-120mm-RR-212E-20PK-R2/dp/B005O65JXI/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1350576402&sr=1-1&keywords=hyper+212+evo
hyper 212 evo
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148840&name=Internal-Hard-Drives
seagate barracude 1tb(can be switched to caviar blue if you want)

this is just to get the point around. the combo it self will save you about $25 if you just bought everything from amazon

 

[boulbox]

ah almost forgot about this deal

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-Motherboards%20-%20Intel-_-ASRock-_-13157293&AID=10440897&PID=3938566&SID=

comes with free memory (8GB)
so that saves you about $35(counting in shipping)
