I would appreciate some experienced builders to help me with this. Here's what I am planning to get:
1) APEVIA X-QBOII X-QBOII-NW-BK/500 Black SECC Steel MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case 500W Power Supply
2) AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8350FRHKBOX
3) Seagate Backup Plus 3TB USB 3.0 Black Desktop Hard Drive STCA3000101
4) G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-1866C9D-16GXM
5) ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
6) Kingston HyperX 3K SH103S3/240G 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (Stand-Alone Drive)
7) ASUS HD7770-2GD5 Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 2GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
The case [1)] has a power source and fan included, but no 80mm fans nor a side air duct. I plan on gaming on this computer, and I'm wondering if this will cool things enough or if I may need more fans.
I have an LCD television that I plan on using as a monitor through a USB cable. I'm currently using a laptop with an HDMI connected into the television. I'm wondering if there are any problems with using a USB cable (since I don't currently own one to test with my laptop).
I feel like I may be over-paying for some of these things that may not be necessary, but I'm not experienced to know any better. Some input on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
I'm also curious about the SSD vs. the hard drive. It seems like I just need one or the other, but again, no experience, blah blah. I read that the SSD may be more efficient than the hard drive, which is why I'm curious about it.
Windows 8 will be my OS.
This will be the first computer I'll make instead of buying brand. I would greatly appreciate some advice, thank you.
