gaming pc build.

[Daksith]

please tell me whether it is good or not.if it isnt please tell me what i can improve.

Intel Core i5 3570k

Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H

Corsair 8gb Vengeance 1600Mhz CL10 ddr3 module

Asus Geforce Gtx 670 2GB DDR5 DirectCUII

Toshiba 1TB 7200 RPM

Asus 24X DVD-RW

Raidman RX-850AE 850W 80+ Gold Modular

Zalman Z11 Plus

Looks like a solid build: the 3570K is a great gaming CPU and should hold you over for much of Haswell (the next release of Intel's CPU generation if you want to know). 670 is a great card and you picked a decent manufacturer in Asus so that's all good. The only thing i would suggest is possibly getting a smaller PSU. Yes - 850w is fine; however, you're paying for wattage you won't need with that system. A 500W would be more than suffice and you can find multiple fully modular 500W psus in a very good price range. For example This Silverstone Strider would fit the bill. This may allow you to purchase a 128GB SSD for your OS and a couple games to help boost boot times.

Get an HD 7970, it's faster than a 680 and a lot faster than a 670.

The rest of the build is great, I'd personally keep the 850W PSU in case you want to use multiple GPUs in the future.

I'd swap out that 670 with an HD 7970, it's more powerful & the extra 1GB of ram will come in very handy when using anti aliasing or higher resolutions.

You also get overvolting & adjustable Dynamic V-Sync on AMD cards + Crysis 3 & Bioshock Infinite .

Fair enough - just so you know, dual gpu set up can still easily be powered by a good 650W PSU; but if you want to stick with 850 that's fine.

[Daksith]

Thankx.All your help is deeply appreciated.

[Nit3Rid3R]

Everything is fine, and I'm pretty sure someone will have a 7970, I mean...they do have a GTX670, just try looking around a bit.

[Daksith]

hmm...I did but all are sold out.ill have to wait a few months to get a 7970 if I chose to wait.

[Daksith]

Hmm i might be able to get the non ghz edition though. Do you think thats ok

[Daksith]

might be able to get the non ghz edition is that ok

[mgsstar]

Its an excellent build. Keep the PSU if you are planning to SLI. If you have the money, I would get a Samsung 840 120GB SSD in order to speed up the boot times.

[Daksith]

yeah i am thinking about getting an ssd later after i get enough money.

[TechFan@ic]

might be able to get the non ghz edition is that ok

Which model ? (gigabyte, msi, sapphire?)

[Rhotis]

Pretty good build. If I was building that the only change I would make is I would not use that case. Just do not like it, seems gimmicky and those 2 80mm fans might end up being a little loud.

[Daksith]

sapphire

[TechFan@ic]

Yes go for it, that's one of the best non GHz 7970s out there .

Great cooling, great overclocking potential and unlocked voltage control.

[Daksith]

Right.

[AwesomeTimeTraveler]

The Asus 670 is going to be really overpriced; I would get a 7950 or 7970 for that money instead; they will both be more powerful than the 670, and possibly a bit cheaper (for the 7950).

[Daksith]

But according to these benchmarks the gtx 670 is ahead of the normal 7970.

You need an SSD man.
