(Someone Help) HD 7970 & i5 3570k

I have a Gigabyte radeon HD 7970 and an intel core i5 3570k. The problem is I do not have anything else. PLEASE help me figure out what other parts to get. Motherboard, RAM, PSU etc..

Welcome to the forum!

 

What is your budget? :) What are you going to be doing with your system? Are you going to be Crossfiring in the future? What form factor motherboard do you want? M-ITX, M-ATX, ATX, XL-ATX?

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

Pcpartpicker.com is a great site you can use to custom pick parts that are compatible with each other. The compatibility check isn't 100% accurate, but it gets the job done. Try it out, and give us some more info about what type of computer you want. :D

Asus P8Z77-V LK, 8gb 1600mhz CL9 ram if you are using it for gaming, XFX Core 650W for single gpu and 750W if you plan to expand to two gpus.
