Hey guys, I've been a viewer of the site, but a member as of 12 seconds ago.
In around a month I will be ordering parts to build my very first gaming computer, I want to show you guys my choices, and I would be very happy with any tips or suggestions, but my main fear is that I may have selected something that is incompatible with another piece of hardware.
Also as for cases, a part of me wants a full tower case, but I don't want to break the bank, but above all else I want it to say cool and have plenty of ventilation.
PSU : http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1990104&sku=T13-0502
Video Card : http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5247876&sku=E145-0651
Cpu. MoBo. Ram bundle. : http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5643744&sku=M69-0819
Case : http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Elite-430-RC-430-KWN1/dp/B003O8J11E/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1359899775&sr=1-5
Hard Drive and Optical Drive I already own.
In addition I plan on getting 4 120mm fans, 4 pin and a Mini Hdmi to Hdmi adapter.
In the near future after the build I plan on replacing the ram with : http://www.amazon.com/G-skill-RipjawsX-DDR3-1866-Memory-F3-14900CL9D-8GBXL/dp/B004JM1ZG8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1359899878&sr=8-2&keywords=G+skill+8gb+1866
With everything ( including fans and Windows 8 OEM ) in total it is costing me $613, but I will have 95 dollars in Mail in Rebates, lowering that to 518
So I am fairly happy if the parts I selected work together, my largest fears are that the video card won't fit in the case, or that my power supply or motherboard doesn't have any or enough 4-pin connectors for the fans. I hope I'm not leaving anything out.
One last question, is I am fairly confused about Modular or Non Modular PSU, I have also heard Single rail and Multi rail, but I very little knowledge as to what each is, other than that modular lets you pick and choose which cables are in you're pc at one time.
Thank you for any help.
Ps. For anyone wondering why I've chosen to buy most my parts of Tiger Direct is because they aren't charging tax to California, which bumped $70 off my similar build on Newegg.
