Hello, I have been reading threads from this forum for quite a while now and finally decided to ask a few questions related to a new pc build I am making. I would very much appreciate some feedback and opinions on it. The build I have is for gaming and casual internet surfing as well.
What I already bought:
-MSI Z77A-GD65 Z77 DDR3 1600 LGA 1155 Motherboards
-Intel Core i5-3570K Quad-Core Processor 3.4 GHz 4 Core LGA 1155 - BX80637I53570K
-MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card N660 TF 2GD5/OC
What I am going to buy:
-Corsair Vengeance Blue 8 GB (2X4 GB) PC3-12800 1600mHz DDR3 240-Pin SDRAM Dual Channel Memory Kit CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B
-Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache Internal Desktop Hard Drive Bulk/OEM - WD1002FAEX
-Samsung 840 Series 2.5 inch 120GB SATA III internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TD120BW
-Arctic Silver 3.5g High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Cooling Compound AS5-3.5G
-Corsair Builder Series CX 600 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS (CX600)
-Cooler Master Hyper 212 + - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan (RR-212E-20PK-R2)
-Corsair Carbide Series Black 300R Mid-Tower Computer Case (CC-9011014-WW)
-Asus VS238H-P 23-Inch Full-HD LED Monitor
-Windows 7 premium OS
I have a DVD drive from an old PC I have. It's a Hitachi i believe? I'm not sure of the difference between the DVD-r drives honestly; I do know this one is SATA... But yeah also! If you guys can recommend me a good reliable gaming keyboard that is backlit along with a good mouse? I will be playing a wide variant of games ranging from Skyrim, Gmod, Minecraft, Sims, maybe some bf3, arcades etc. so i guess something nice. Possibly keep it in the 100 to 120(USD) price range for the keyboard and mouse combined? I prefer both to be wired because I've heard that wireless accessories are a bit iffy with connectivity and lag.
Thanks guys!
