Final check before purchase, ~£1000 Gaming PC

[Deisler]

Hi Guys,

After having asked some questions in this forum, I plan to order the components tomorrow....

So wanna make a final check before purchase

Appreciate your suggestions and comments!

1. CPU: i5-3570k
2. Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H OR Asrock Z77 Extreme 4
3. Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo
4. RAM: Corsair Memory 8GB (2 x 4GB) Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz DIMM 240-pin CL9 Low Profile
5. SSD: Crucial M4 128GB
6. HDD:Seagate 1TB Barracuda
7. CASE: Cooler Master HAF 912 plus
8: PSU: OCZ ZS 750W
9: GPU: Sapphire HD 7850 OC
10: Monitor: 23'' Dell Ultrasharp U2312HM
11: CD/DVD RW
12: Wireless Adaptor: Tenda Wireless-N300 PCI Adapter


Here are some finaaaallll questions:
1. Are there any critical differences between those two Mobos? If no, I will go for Asrock
2. Is the cooler (212 Evo) strong enough to keep the CPU cool? I will slightly OC the CPU
3. Is the case big enough for the CPU cooler to fit in?
4. Any other compatibility issues??


Thanks in advance for your reply

this sounds good

1: there arent that many differences between the 2 boards. the gigabyte board has slightly better components

2: you should be able to hit 4.2ghz with th cooler so its fine

3: i recommend getting a ocz zt 650w because it is fully modular and since you arent using a lot of wires in this build, it is much more tidier. 650w is more than enough to power 2 of these cards

4: you dont necessarliy need to go with corsair for the ram. i recommend something like mushkin enhanced frostbyte ram or some crucial ballistix sport

5: to note make sure to get the barracuda with 64mb of cache because its faster
