First let me start by saying I don't want to purchase online so im going through tiger direct. I understand I may pay a little more but I don't have credit card so its just easier for me to go store and buy it with cash. I want to play guild wars 2, starcraft 2, maybe diablo 3, swtor, WOW, and maybe some first person shooters. My monitor is old and only 1400x900 and can't afford to upgrade anytime soon. Going to use my old dvd burner and I will hook up a plasma hdtv to watch movies or tv through hdmi.
This is the build i'm looking at and want to know if it works for what I want. I've peppered some questions through out and included tiger direct pricing.
Power supply(69.99): Corsair CX500 V2 CX--is this 500w power supply enough?
Case(59.99): Cooler Master HAF 912--Do I need more than the 2 stock fans for this current build as is?
Mother Board(149.99): GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD3H Intel 7 Series Motherboard-- is this mother board a decent one for future proofing a little if I want upgrade the cpu and ram down the line?
CPU(119.99): Intel BX80637I33220 Core i3-3220--Probably won't overclock so is stock fan good enough?
GPU(159.99): AMD Radeon Double D HD 7770 Video Card--is this good or is there an alternative priced around the same?
RAM(31.99): Kingston HyperX Blu HS Desktop Memory Kit - 4GB PC3-12800(2gbx2)
Harddrive(59.99): WD Blue WD5000AAKX 500GB sata III
Also buying Window 7 64-bit home premium OEM.
Total price with tax after exhaustive search on Tiger-Direct on what is available locally with tax is $816.68
I want to know if this build will do I want to do and isn't totally overpriced for the components im buying. I understand I may pay more for buying in store, just want to make sure this build is good for what I want with a little future proofing with the motherboard. Basicly want to able to upgrade a graphics card, cpu and memory as time goes on. Thanks for any input. I'm building my first cpu in like 10 years so any help would be awesome.
Thanks a bunch guys.
