I guess if you need 1000W it's okay. My position is that if you have money to burn on Tri-Fire HD 6970s or whatever, you can afford a higher-end $200 PSU. edit: late | ||

But okay I guess that one isn't as good then, I thought it looked identical to a single rail amazon. | ||

I do still need a case, but I am still looking for a good deal. I also got a 1TB from a friend for $50. Thanks! | ||

Either get the least expensive 2x4gb kit available which are these for $32: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820576006 or get these GSkills for $35: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314 The rest is fine. | ||

Im looking into building a new computer, and with the little computer knowledge I have, I have picked out the components. I would like a second opinion on these components, and I would be thankful for any assistance you can provide :D So first I'll answer the questions posed in the OP of this thread to give you guys some background information. What is your budget? The build I have created is about $1000, and including monitor will be about $1200. What is your resolution? I plan to play on a 1920x1080 monitor. What are you using it for? Ideally, I would like to be able to stream 720 on Ultra graphic settings. I know the computer can handle Ultra settings, but wether or not it can stream at the same time or not I am unsure. I would be happy to hear your thoughts. What is your upgrade cycle? I'm coming from using Macs, which you can't upgrade at all so I'm not completely sure, but I believe that the upgrade cycle will be around 1-2 years. Do you plan on overclocking? Yes, and I believe that the components I have picked out support overclocking, feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Do you need an operating system? Yes, and I included it in my budget. Do you plan to add a second GPU for SLI or Crossfire? Yes, not right away but I would like to have the option. Again, I believe the components that I selected supports SLI and Crossfire, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Where do you plan on getting your parts from? Most likely newegg.com, but I am open to other suggestions (I live in US) Alright, after taking care of that, here is the rig that I have assembled: CPU: Intel i5 2500k @3.3ghz This was the best CPU that fit my budget, and I got the 2500k over the 2500 to have the option to overclock. Motherboard: MSI P67A-G65 (B3) LGA 1155 This felt like the best motherboard fit for me, as it supports SLI, Crossfire, and overclocking. Also, It seemed to have an adequate number/type of ports. RAM: Patriot Viper Xtreme 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 I think 8gb should suffice, and this is the fasted RAM my motherboard supports without overclocking. GPU: EVGA 01G-P3-1561-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti FPB (Fermi) Alright, I need a little help here. I know that I want a GeForce 560 Ti, but after that I am unsure what to get. This was the highest rated card on newegg, so I am open to suggestions on which card to get beyond GeForce 560 Ti. PSU: SILVERSTONE Strider Essential series ST60F-ES 600W ATX12V / EPS12V I need a little help here too as well. I believe this powersupply is powerful enough, and the company is reputable i hear. Any suggestions for a PSU would be nice  .Case: Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Picked this for three reasons. I like the looks, has an adequate number of fans (I think) and it seems to have enough room for what I'm putting in it. Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST3500413AS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" 500gb is the capacity I feel I need, and I hear this is a reputable company. HSF: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1 "Heatpipe Direct Contact" Long Life Sleeve 120mm CPU Cooler Since I plan on overclocking, I feel I need this. Links to all the components: Case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129066 Hard Drive - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148701 Graphics Card - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130604 PSU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817256071 RAM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220562 Motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130582 Processor - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072 HSF - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065 So summary of what I would like from you guys: -Review my components and let me know of any improvements I can make -Will this computer fill my idea needs? (Stream Ultra Graphpics, 720p) Thanks a bunch, and any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated <3 ~AtRi | ||
