Hello,

Here is my plan about my computer:

case: Coolermaster HAF 932 Advanced
PSU: Seasonic or Corsair, do not know how many Watt
Processor: Intel i7, do not know which one
graphics card: ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti
motherboard: ASUS P8Z77 WS
RAM: G.Skill 2x8GB, do not know which one exactly
screen: ASUS 1920x1080 23"-24", do not know which one exactly
hard drive: Western Digital 1TB, do not know exactly
optical drive: CD/DVD, do not know anything

Could you please assist me choosing the best fitting components (PSU, processor, RAM, screen, hard drive, optical drive)?
Please do not present me a completely different plan.
Please suggest me components which fit to the list.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you a lot for your post.
But I already have a plan, I just could need help at the components which I do not know exactly. Some components like the case, graphics card, motherboard will be exactly the ones in the list. I do not know which i7 exactly, which PSU exactly, which RAM exactly, which screen exactly, which hard drive exactly, which optical drive exactly. Remember: Please suggest me components which fit to the list.
Thank you again.

You don't need the i7 or 16GB of RAM for a gaming rig, it's pretty much a waste of money there. Most games don't use the extra threads offered in the i7 and probably won't for quite some time.

Games are more GPU dependent and less CPU dependent. It's far better to invest more money in getting the best GPU setup that you can get for your budget. That's why I generally pick 2 x GTX 670. It gives you very similar performance to the far more expensive GTX 690, and on your budget you can easily afford that. Don't skimp or compromise in this area if you're paying that kind of money especially. The 660TI is a mid range GPU - for gaming you want the best that you can get.

The PSU, RAM, HD. and everything else that I would pick are noted in my previous post. For Ivy Bridge you want DDR3 1.5V RAM, 1600MHz. If you want to stick with G.Skill get this: http://www.alternate.at/html/product/G.Skill/DIMM_8_GB_DDR3-1600_Kit/801624/?click_HP=19865
