Hello,
I was been watching videos and reading information on this for a while and I was just wanting to get a double check on the compatibility of my parts for the first build.
If there is anything wrong with these parts or you just want to give me your opinion I would appreciate it.
Case - Corsair 600T Black/Mesh Case (I know this doesn't matter a whole lot but I already know it fits ATX and Micro ATX motherboards.)
CPU - Intel Core i5-3570k (Going with this because it is cheaper than the i7 and I currently have an i5 in my Alienware X51 and I think it does just fine.)
GPU - EVGA SuperClocked GTX 660 (02G-P4-2662-KR)
PSU - Rosewill FORTRESS series 750W 80 PLUS Platinum (I know Rosewill does not have the best reputation on everything but this PSU was a steal at $89.99 and with some pretty decent reviews on Johnny Guru and Newegg.)
MOBO - (I'm torn between these two)
- ASUS P8Z77-M LGA 1155 Micro ATX
- ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 ATX
RAM - Corsair Vengence 8GB (2x4) Low Profile DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) 1.5v 240 PIN
DVD Drive - Light-On Super AllWrite 24x SATA (I've seen a lot of videos using this drive in their build and I have a PS3 if I need to watch blueray movies, so a blueray drive was not needed.)
Hard Drive - WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Drive 7200 RPM SATA 6 GB/s, 64mb Cache
And/Or
- Samsung 840 series 2.5 inch 120GB SATA III Internal SSD
And of course, Windows 7 because I don't think I will like Windows 8. Not to mention, I've heard it has had some major issues with gaming.
As I said above, this is my first build so I am not yet extremely comfortable with know which products work best with others according to their specifics. That is why I am asking someone to look over this information and let me know if there are any flaws within this.
If you wouldn't mind, is there a list someone on the forum that can help me with a compatibility check in the future?
Appreciate any and all help I can get.
