[WhiteKnight]

Here is my Computer Specs, tell me whats good and not good about them.

Don't say anything about the 850w and the case, I got them both 50 dollars off.

Already have an ok harddrive.

NZXT Phantom 820: 199.99

NZXT Hale90 850w: $129.99

ASrock z77 extreme3: $119.99

I7 3770k: $229.99

GTX 660ti: $299.99

Corsair LP: 49.99

CoolerMaster 212 EVO: 29.99

Windows 8: $99.99

Maybe change out the CoolerMaster with a Noctua?

Personally I prefer collers that blow down onto the motherboard, this cools the heatsinks and components around them.

get windows 7 windows 8 sucks

That setup will run fine. Windows 8 is okey but windows 7 is better more so if you are using keyboard and mouse. As win 8 is very touch oriented. U less you mod it and re add the start menu

[t0wer]

where are you getting a a 3770k for $230?

and yea, windows 8 sucks, go 7.

[AndersT2]

Get Windows 8. Add the startbutton as NCIX tech tips video says. And as far as I know the Metro front can be removed from normal operation.

Than it's close to Windows 7, but with some better parts.

Windows 8 is so much better than Windows 7, people really need to stop living in the past.

Anyway where did you get that 3770k?

True multi monitor support, slightly better performance, much snappier, ISO mounting, calculated transfer speeds, better transfer speed, faster boot times, faster return from sleep times, an actual useful task manager, better multi-core utilization (though this should come to Windows 7 with a new service pack), an upgraded Windows Explorer (which is actually decent this time around),. Basically its just snappier and more responsive than Windows 7. I mean the desktop UI experience hasn't changed at all. It is nearly identical. If you like Windows 7 UI, you like Windows 8 UI, there is no major UI difference besides clear upgrade (Windows Explorer, Transfer Speeds, Task Manager).

Its a good build but if the i7 is at that price I would get it. If not, then get a 3570k if you are only using this pc for gaming.
