Hello, I'm building my first PC from scratch and being new to all this I wanted to run what I have brainstormed so far by people with more experience and knowledge about the components before I make a final decision.
I did a day or two's worth of research on most items individually but I want to get a read on how everything will work together.
This is what I have so far:
- Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H Intel Mainboard LGA 1155
- Intel Core i5 3570K LGA 1155
_ eVGA nVidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB Super Clocked
- Kingston DDR 3 8GB (2x4GB) PC 12800/1600 CL9 HyperX RAM (May go with a 2x8 16GB Kingston instead)
- Thermaltake Litepower 700W
- SeaGate Barracuda 1TB
- Kingston 120GB HyperX 3K SSD
- ASUS VS248H WS LED
I am happy with the price as it is but won't mind if I have to go the extra $100 or so to get a system that works in sync. Let me know if you think it's a bit everywhere and suggest what I should change as I am aware I may have over done it in some areas. My aim to is to get the most out of the units and have it work together well overall.
It will be used primarily for gaming of various types (I play LoL which I know isn't at all very demanding but also Fallout, Skyrim, XCOM, Farcry 3) but streaming and downloading as a close secondary.
Let me know if there are any more details that could help.
Thanks a lot in advance!
