So I'm getting this build in the next couple of days and I wanted to ask some questions about my parts before I buy all of this. To answer the questions, please copy and paste the question list into the comment box and then double space below each question and answer it.
1. Is this a good motherboard? It got good reviews but is it actually a good board? Will it be compatible with all my other parts? If there is a better alternative for around the same price then link it to me.
2. Will my case fit all the components and have room for expansion?
3. Should I buy more case fans for the Define R4 or does it have adequate cooling already? Will it run quiet with the noise dampening material that is installed in it.
4. Is it easy to install an SSD? I was planning on installing one further down the line for my OS and Games (256GB Samsung 840). Is an SSD worth it for games and loading up your OS, should I just buy something like a 32 or 64 GB to put some games and my OS onto?
5. Should I wait for custom cooling designs to come out for the GTX 780 or should I just go with reference? Does it make a big difference other than cooling?
6. Is the PSU decent? I know it's an 80 Plus Bronze which is not that great. Should I get a Silver or Gold instead and spend the extra money? Is there a big difference?
7. Can you link me to some GTX 780 benchmark reviews? I've seen a few on Youtube but I would like to know all I can about the card before I get it (If possible, find some with benchmarks for games like Skyrim, BF3, DayZ/Arma2, Etc.).
8. I was hoping to upgrade further down the line and add some more components such as more RAM and an SSD and possibly another graphics card.
This is what I was thinking for the final product: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/roguecatfish/saved/1Sug
9. Will the default cooler for the 3570k cool it sufficiently or will I need the 212 EVO? I'm not planning on doing any Overclocking but just in case, what speeds could I go up to with the 212 EVO and which speeds could I go up to with just the Default Cooler. Is it worth buying the 212?
10. Is the Seagate a good hard drive? I've heard cases of it breaking or not working, are these true?
All answers are appreciated. If you do not know the answer to some of the questions, just double space down and put a question mark. Thank you for your time.
