Is my build any good?

[Joshua Pinloe]

Here is my build:
- Corsair Graphite 600TM Mesh Window Case

- ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Motherboard

- Corsair HX-750 V2 80 PLUS Gold Power Supply

- Intel Core i5 3570K

- Corsair Hydro Series H100 CPU Cooler

- Intel 520 Series 120GB SSD

- Western Digital WD Blue 1TB WD10EZEX

- ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II TOP

- Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8R 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3

- ASUS PCE-N53 Dual Band Wireless N600 PCI-E Adapter

- Pioneer DVR-220LBKS Black 24xDVDRW OEM

- Corsair Air Series AF120 Performance Edition Case Fan (x3) - Using 2 of these for my H100 CPU Cooler, then the other for the rear fan.



Altogether comes to a total of $1,831 where I am purchasing.

I have a $2,000 budget so if anyone wants suggest better parts they are welcome to!

I'm not exactly sure how this build reached $1,800~ but yeah, it looks good.

Just a few things.
- Don't bother with the H100. Closed loop water coolers such as that are matched in performance by high-end air coolers such as the NH-D14 and Silver Arrow. It's not worth the extra cash.
- I would suggest you get the Vertex 4 or Samsung 830 instead. Not really sure about the Intel 520.

Everything else looks good!

The Noctua NH-D14 looks nice, I'm just not a real fan of the cream and dark brown color. I'm trying to make a black and red PC.

Where are you buying from exactly?

I'm buying from a website called PCCaseGear. It's Australian, which is good for me.
