My first build

Rouved

I'm looking forward to buy a new machine, that'll run any game at 60FPS(at least at mid settings) and that'll take some years to "age".

Please feel free to edit it.

These are the things that I've picked so far:

CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-3570K @ 3.8 GHz

CPU COOLER: CORSAIR H100

MOTHERBOARD: ASUS P8Z77-V LX

GPU: MSi RADEON HD 7850 2GB

PSU: SEASONIC 620W 80+

RAM: G.SKILL RIPJAWS 8GB(2X4) DDR3-1600MHZ

STORAGE:

- OCZ AGILITY4 128GB SSD SATA 3

- WESTER DIGITAL CAVIAR BLUE 1TB SATA3

OPTICAL DRIVE: NO PREFERENCE

I'd put in a little more money and go for at least a HD7950 or GTX670.. Also ram is very cheap at the moment try looking 16gb of ram that doesn't add much to the price.. As I think it will get more expensive once ddr4 is here... the rest looks pretty balin'

Edit: I'm not a fan of any ocz ssd pre-dating the new one "vector" I believe.. I've seen many that just stopped working

Yarrrr, ye be warned lily-livered scallywags

I would go for a bigger SSD if you have some more money, because you can use 128 GB really quick once you get and OS and a few programs on it.

Don't get an agility drive, if you want to go OCZ get a vector, if you want to save money get a crucial m4, they're rock solid.

Get a 7870 tahiti LE like the guy above me said. Make sure it's the tahiti LE card though.

No sense getting older stuff imo, spend the few extra $$ and just go with the h100i. Sometimes they're even the same price.

Otherwise looks good. But please, lower case is perfectly readable, no need for caps :P

also do you have a microcenter near you?they have great processor pricing and motherboard combos which would save you around $80,$40 on the mobo and $40 off the processor (sometimes they have the processor pricing at 169.99 which would save you even more).

I'd spend a bit less on the tower,around $50-70 for a good midtower.

spend less on the heatsink and go for a hyper 212+,it can handle heat well allowing you to overclock,although with only a single graphics card you won't benefit much in real life from cpu overclocking.

and get some different memory,53.99 for average ram,1600mhz CAS 9,isn't worth it.

something like this instead.
