Good i5 and motherboard? And does it fit?

[AncientBro]

This build works and will be fine.

I know I made several posts about my build, but is this really a good build for gaming? It's my first build so I wanna be sure I don't waste any money or do anything wrong.

I know this was covered in your last thread, but a 7870 will be better for basically the same money. But you have said you don't want to do that so, this is a good gaming build.

Anyone else think I should take another motherboard or i5?

Ok, I saw some video's and I got to say, the 7870 is in-between the GTX 660 and the GTX 660 Ti. So if this card is available for the same price as the GTX 660, I might consider buying it
Btw, will this one do?

you can save some money here with this

not really any difference besides the huge heatsinks that vengeance have

would change the PSU into this
http://azerty.nl/8-1073-196032/be-quiet-system-power-bqt-s6-.html
you will not need 600W, most you might even use is 300 but this gives you some leeway(can also go for a 500W if wanting to

and i would get this board
http://azerty.nl/8-4924-556607/asrock-b75m-dgs.html

does not let you SLI/CFX in the future but with a 400W you probably shouldn't SLI/CFX anyways

I actually have this motherboard now: http://azerty.nl/producten/product_detail/4924/496950/asrock-z77-pro3-moederbord-.html
And, I don't need to save money, this computer is already under my budget, so I stick with the Vengeance. Btw, with a 600w PSU I am able to upgrade my GPU later when I want too. Also, you are the only one who ever says that 450w is enough for this system. I personally think you have too little space for any adjustments with that amount of watt.

computers do not take as much power as people think anymore. it used to be at least 750W to have a clean SLI/CFX setup with a lot of overclocking abilities. Now all you need is about 600-700W(hopefully a good brand like corsair, XFX, or seasonic which under rates their watts) and a clean setup for SLI/CFX.

If you are under budget then i suggest getting a modular PSU around the 600-650W mark. will make cable management a whole lot easier.

I have a Corsair 600w Bronze Edition selected. Good enough
