Hi there. I'm close to ordering parts to upgrade my PC, and here's what I have. I mostly just want to know if it will all fit, and if there's anything I should consider over something I already have on the list.
Very budget-based, obviously. I hope all these cheaper parts aren't a bad idea. I've tried to pick out the best, for the cheapest.
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k (I've looked all over and the 2500k still seems to be the best bang for your buck.)
Motherboard: Was going to go with one of these two: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157335 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157326
The first one is a good choice, apparently. The second one is tempting due to the extra PCIe ports, but I don't really care, honestly.
I don't intend to overclock the 2500k, but if I do decide to, will either of these motherboards work with that? It'd probably be better to get a full ATX mobo for overclocking, I guess, so it's fine for right now.
Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313123 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145345
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146075 *Updated*
I already have this PSU: www.ascendtech.us/dell-dw002-xps-630-750w-power-supply_i_cspdell750dw002.aspx
Will all this fit together? I know the CPU, mobo, and memory will obviously work together, and I'm pretty sure about the case, but the power supply is my main concern. I don't know anything about the measurements and can't find the dimensions on that PSU, and I don't want to spend even more on getting a new PSU since I already have a fairly good one, so I'd appreciate a little help from you guys.
In addition to that, if anyone has any better ideas for any of these parts for around the same prices, feel free to bring them to my attention.
Thanks!
