My new rig! Please help!

[legendaswd]

Hey guys. I was just browsing CyberPowerpc, cause I need a new gaming computer. It is going to be used only for gaming, and occasional youtube browsing!

Well, here it is:
NOTE: This configuration doesn't include any Operation System.

CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-3570K 3.40 GHz 6MB Intel Smart Cache LGA1155 (All Venom OC Certified) [+40]

HDD: 1TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (FREE Upgrade To 2TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (Single Drive Only))

MEMORY: 8GB (2GBx4) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Memory (Corsair or Major Brand)

MOTHERBOARD: [CrossFireX/SLI] ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Intel Z77 Chipset DDR3 ATX

Mainboard w/ IRST, Lucid Virtu MVP, XFast Technologies, 7.1 HD Audio, GbLAN, 3x PCIe x16 (2 Gen3, 1 Gen2), 2x PCIe x1 & 2 PCI (All Venom OC Certified) [+66]

SOUND: HIGH DEFINITION ON-BOARD 7.1 AUDIO

VIDEO: AMD Radeon HD 7970 3GB 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card [+243] (Major Brand Powered by AMD)

The total was $1499, and I didn't select a OS because I have a disk at home, so it's not necessary right? Can you guys just check to make sure if this is a good combo of everything? Thanks!

EDIT: Also, I selected the extreme OC option, they will overclock it for me right? And what would the final power be?

EDIT 2: Here's a direct link so it's easier for you guys to look at

Getting a generic PSU is a BAD IDEA - they can blow up and destroy the rest of your components.

You probably need a copy of windows - the problem isn't the disk; it's the key.

Closed loop cooling is crap - a decent air cooler usually costs less and performs better.

This is cheaper, faster GPU, OCs better, has an SSD, better PSU, better screen, and includes an OS. DIY.

Thanks for the info, but the thing is I want them to build it for me so I'm strictly stricted to their site, so a lot of the things you mentioned aren't there. *Sad Face*

And do you think my CPU/Mobo/Graphics card combo are good? If not, what could be better?

 

[Deemo13]

Its not that hard to build. Its just like Lego's really.

 

[legendaswd]

I just don't wanna take an unnecessary risk
So can someone answer my questions?

Thanks!

Where can you find a link?

Then get a better monitor. You can get way better than a 23" 1080p 60Hz TN panel for $248.

Thanks, I see you replaced the 3570k, the i5 3570k isn't good for gaming? And the case, would that case be good enough if I want them to overclock it? In your previous post you said something about the disk and key thing o.o. That completely went over me haha. What I meant is I already have a Window's 7 Disk at home, so couldn't I just use that? And I would prefer that they Overclock it . May I know why that motherboard is better? So basically my questions are related to, the processor, heatsink... (wth is that...), 2 hard drives, motherboard. Sorry if I'm asking so many questions, I just want to know about what I'm dealing with! You can find a link if you click on save (bottom left hand side).

Thanks!

I5-3470 is not a oc cpu, i5 3570k is still better than it, seen the K? KUADKILL

Joking bro, the window cd, if u already use it and u probably already use the cd key, which is unusable for a second time,

I dont know if there another way around,

Asrock is the best bang for buck, still overclock well
But theres a little ram issue and not the best onboard sound card,

Heatsink is the cooler on top of ur cpu, the better it is, the lower ur temperature, the higher ur overclock,

 

[Someone Somewhere]

If you're gaming no Ivy i5 will bottleneck you for a long time. As such a CPU OC is mainly a status/showoff thing with a recent CPU.

The mobo is cheaper but won't OC as well. It still supports PCIe3.0 x8/x8 CF/SLI.

You can probably get about 20% just by OCing it to the end of the "limited unlock". See: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/277900-29-3550-asrock
