Hello my dear Tom's Hardware enthusiasts!
This is my first build ever. I am worried about not being very efficient when it comes to value for money. Be it the PSU or the Motherboard. I feel I'm happy with my other selections but do hope that you guys give me your input regardless.
My Budget is around 1500$, I will be using this computer strictly for gaming (Crysis 3, BF3, Black Ops 2, Shogun 2 Total War, Rome 2: Total War, Borderlands 2...you know..) As well as some movie watching and internet surfing. No photo editing or processing or any of that fancy stuff that most of you do.
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core $215.99
CPU Cooler:Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing $24.99
Motherboard:Asus P8Z77-V DELUXE ATX LGA1155 Combo or $269.99
Memory:G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 $49.99
