My first build.

[tkerr94]

Hello Folks, I've decided to build my first computer and I'm wondering if it's decent. I'll be using this computer for mostly gaming / video editing, I won't be over over clocking and any suggestions would be wonderful. Thanks!

if you're not going to OC, forget getting a 3570K + Z77 board.

if you don't mind, plenty of quality 550-650W non-modular PSU's for a lower price.

feel free to drop down to a 660, 7870, or a 7850 if you want to re-allocate your spending elsewhere, say an SSD. any of those are a better choice over the 560.

Another +1, with the minor exception that I'd steer clear of Lite-On writers. Samsung are the only brand for optical that has never let me down (which is surprising since I've used models from Sony, Pioneer, Plextor... all of which I'd generally consider higher quality than Samsung, but all let me down).

Get a Caviar Blue. The scorpio is a laptop drive. Also, you want a better gpu if you are gaming.
