I'm looking to build a system that is geared out for casual-hardcore gaming - not really either, but somewhere in the middle. I'd like it to be able to play current games at relatively high settings, and get a good performance out of them - and it would be nice if it had a lifespan of about 2-3 years as well.
Anyway, here are the parts.
Case: Novatech Cougar ATX Case.
PSU: OCZ Technology 500W CoreXStream Series 80Plus OCZ
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 (Chipset Intel Z68, Socket LGA-1155, ATX)
Processor: Intel i5-2500K
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212
Memory: Corsair XMS3 8GB DDR3 (It's in two modules)
Graphics: Sparkle nVidia geForce GTX 560Ti
I just want to know whether it'll hold up against today's games, and whether all the parts are compatible. Thanks very much.
EDIT: This costs £410, in total. The max budget is £500.
