I am building a gaming a computer and need lots of help. Through researching I have come up with the I7 3770k for the processor and a WD Black Desktop 1TB SATA 6.0 GB/s 7200 RPM 3.5-Inch Internal Desktop Hard Drive Retail Kit for the HDD...thats about it :/
I have read that I only need 8 GB of RAM and not 16.
Also Video Cards confuse the crap out of me, I don't know what to look for. It isn't like processors where you can compare a number. (I'm sure there is more with those too, but I just know the Ghz and cores).
I also do not know what to get for motherboards and everything else.
Also I was wondering if Windows 8 is rockstar or if I should stick with Windows 7.
AAaand last question..Is NCIX.com a reliable store to get parts? I heard they price match microcenter and stuff, which would be amazing since I do not have a micro center around here.
Thank you anyone that helps. I want to hopefully build this by the middle to end of february.
