Good day everyone! I'm doing a mix-and-match of these parts especially the first-three listed below. I wonder what's the better match. Please help me guys since I'm not really an expert when it comes to building a PC.
Intel Core I5-3550 or Intel Core I7-3770
Asus P8B75-M LE 2xDDR3 or Gigabyte GA-Z77 D3H or ASRock H77 Pro4/MVP ATX LGA1155
Asus GTX-660 2 GB GDDR5 192-BIT or Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 XT 2GB
Kingston 8 GB DDR3 1600MHZ
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB SATA 3.0
Silverstone Strider Essentials SLI 80 Plus 500 Watts Power Surge Protector
Are there better alternatives for the motherboard and the video card? Please let me know. Comments and suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks!
