Hey guys! New guy here, and really my first time venturing into the realm of building a PC on my own. I was wondering if you guys could give me an input on the parts I've gathered up that I feel like are good enough. The stuff I plan to do on this new rig, is play some games like NR2003, NBA 2k13, Battlefield 3, and Garry's Mod 2. Probably more games once I do get more in depth into as I'll know my limits of the computer very well. I also plan on messing around in Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, etc... all of the graphic design programs and 3ds Max as I'm going into college for that stuff. I figure embarking on this journey too will help improve my knowledge of the innerworkings of a computer as I want to college for computer tech and programming as well. Anyways, here's the parts I've got put down as an idea for now:
Case: Corsair Vengeance Series C70 Gunmetal Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Hard Drive: Western Digital WD Black WD5003AZEX 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Video/Graphics Card: MSI N560GTX-Ti 448 Twin Frozr III PE/OC GeForce GTX 560 Ti - 448 Cores (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16
Power Supply: SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze 620W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
RAM: G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C10D-16GAO
Motherboard: MSI Z77A-G41 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Processor: Intel Core i5-3470 Ivy Bridge 3.2GHz (3.6GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2500 BX80637i53470
Heatsink: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO RR-212E-20PK-R2 Continuous Direct Contact 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler Compatible with latest Intel 2011/1366/1155 and AMD FM1/FM2/AM3+
Thanks if you guys can check over this stuff, it'd be greatly appreciated, if I'm missing anything let me know. Except for the disk drive lol, I figured I'd just pick out a regular one and not worry about the Blu-Ray
