This is my first gaming build ever. I've been running on some really old hardware, until now. Tell me what you guys think of it, I think I did a pretty good job.

CPU: Intel 3570K

CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo

Motherboard: MSI Z77A-GD65

Power Supply: XFX 750W PRO750W XXX Edition Single Rail Modular 80PLUS Silver

Video Card: XFX Radeon HD 7970 Double D

Case: Corsair Vengeance C70 White

SSD: Samsung 830 128GB

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB Blue

Only reason I went with a large power supply is just in case I wanted to Crossfire later on. So what do you guys think?

Very nice Build spec to be quite honest :P its a balanced build and it will allow you to upgrade the CPU at some stage and the GPU is still very good and that 750W will allow for another to be added.

Hope it works out.

Pretty decent parts you picked. Good job on this one.

But if I were to suggest some changes I'd say switch the 7950 for a 670 and the CPU cooler for something like a NZXT Kraken X40 or a Corsair H80i.

Overall this build will serve you well :)

Good luck with the build buddy

^It's a 7970 though ;P

The CPU Cooler is great imo.

That PSU is a little bit overkill unless you want to SLI, but other than that, nice components!

Overall, this is solid and would last you a long time if your not planning on adding on to it. You didn't over spend on anything which is great! Have fun with that!
