Help With a Build

Go to solution Solved by BlackOutCrisis,

Case: Corsair c70

Cpu: i5 3570k

Cpu cooler: Noctua NH-D14

Motherboard: MSI z77 gd65 gaming

Ram: Corsair Vengeance LP 2x8gb 1600Mhz

Gpu: MSI Lightning 770/ MSI twin frozr 7950 (Also think about waiting for AMD 9000 series that should be launching in about 2-3months)

Psu: Corsair cx600m

SSD: Samsung 840 120gb

Sound card: Asus Xonar DGX 5.1

HDD: Personal preference, of what size you want and such.

I believe this comes out to just at 1500$, If not you can save money on the case and motherboard by going with something like a NZXT Source 210 and a MSI z77 g45 gaming board.

Edit* you can also save money on CPU cooler by going with a hyper 212 evo.

I am going to be building a new gaming pc with a $1500 budget. I'm still new to building computers so i would like some suggestions on what parts i should get. I want to be able to play recent games like bf3, crysis3, skyrim, and bf4 when it comes out. I already have a keyboard, monitor, and mouse.

This would be my recommendation http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1iHu1

 

You would be able to play everything at max settings with some exceptions like crysis 3 on max. If you feel comfortable with the system you can also overclock the system to get better performance out of it.

@BlackOutCrisis you know that noctua has a better cooler than the NH-d14? The U14S is about 4c cooler and quieter.
