Hello,
My old PC has very recently died and i've been in emergency mode all day when it comes to looking for a new computer. At first i considered going with a pre-built computer, but i decided it would probably be best that i build one myself.
I haven't actually purchased anything yet, but i have spent a lot of time on short notice on the basics of building a computer and researching parts. So after spending quite a bit of time looking through newegg(the site where i would most prefer to shop because of 2 free day shipping) here's what i've come up with(i'm currently unable to post links, sorry, but i'll try to be as descriptive as possible):
Rosewill Thor v2 case $129
Seagate barracuda 2 TB HDD $99
Gigabyte GeForce 760 2 gb $254
ASUS Black DVD-Rom drive $18
FSP Group AURUM GOLD 600W power supply $87
G.Skill ripjaws X 16GB ram $154
MSI 287-GD65 mobo $187
Intel core i7-3770 $289
Windows 8 64 bit(OEM) $99
Now all of this is around 1300 bucks(the most that i'll reasonably spend) and i'm wondering if those parts i listed will be sufficent or if i'm missing anything important. I will obviously be using the PC for gaming, as well as a bunch of other multimedia stuff(browsing, music, photoshop, etc). I already have a monitor from my previous computer(it's a 16:9 widescreen monitor, i also plan on using my HDTV) and a KB/M so i have no needs there for now. If you have any suggestions for new items, feel free but please nothing more expensive than the original item, thanks.
