GPU, HDD and monitor, so recomendations can be made in base of performance.

Thanks for the help and sorry if is all a mess.

ASrock extreme4 comes with Ram so no need to buy any

HDD- get seagate barracuda 1TB or WD caviar blue

GPU - i will suggest a 7870 since it is at a great price point if you want to upgrade it make it into a 7970 since it will perform better than a 7970

What boulbox said is true, but you have to get the extreme4 soon.

Also, I would swap out your PSU for a XFX.

If you don't want to SLI or Crossfire, then you can get a smaller PSU.

The 7870 is a really good card right now. The 660 is comparable in some games, but the 7870 comes out on top generally.

 

[boulbox]

woops i ment that 7970 beats 670 lol

 

[morgilroka]

I would recommend the XFX 7870 DD edition. (what im currently using) The card runs really quiet even while under load gaming. Has run every game iv thrown at it on max settings with FPS still through the roof and never dropping below 60.

This card was an awesome addition to my build and i highly urge you to get this card.
(And it looks good if you got a window in your case )

Is that psu bad? for the money i think is good, semi modular and made by seasonic

And where says that the asrosck extreme4 comes with ram? and don't see that.

 

[morgilroka]

It was a offer at newegg, which they are already sold out on.

 

[GodGunZ]

Well in amazon is still in that price(that is where i will buy everything), at the momento of the buy is still in that price i will buy, if not i will buy a corsair tx or a xfx pro or another good one a good price.

I cannot find where say that the extreme4 have ram o.o

 

[morgilroka]

Like i said they don't have that offer anymore. I recommend a Corsair hx power supply however it may be out of budget? the tx's are good too. Never been a fan of xfx's psu's however.

 

[GodGunZ]

Are the offers in amazon the same that in newegg? i am confused.

 

[morgilroka]

The offer WAS on newegg... The offer is OVER you will not get it anymore so don't even worry about it it won't happen. You'll just have to buy the ram seperatly.

 

[GodGunZ]

Well what about this built? In general now i don't know when i will buy the parts but will be in short time i think

PSU: Corsair TX 650v2 or xfx 650w core edition
Motherboard: Asrock z77 Extreme4.
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K.
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo .
RAM: Patriot Memory Intel Extreme Masters 8 GB 1600mhz.
SSD: Vertex 4 128gb.
HDD:WD Caviar Blue 500gb or 1T i don't that much capacity.
GPU: MSI 7950
Monitor: ASUS VS239H

Is that build good?

 

[zared619]

That is an excellent build. As far as the PSU goes, both are good, but the xfx is a little better.
Just make sure that you don't get a reference cooler with you GPU.
For clarification, this is a card with a reference cooler.

This has an aftermarket cooler, which you do want.
