Hi! Im planning to build a gaming computer. This is the first time i am building one so i would like some advice on my specs. I am a bit nervous that i dont get the compartments right and such so i really wish someone could help me. Are my specs below good enough for games such as cod, bioshock, assasin creed, skyrim and such ? Are all the compartments compatible with my motherboard cause im not sure about this motherboard as i planned to change to this one over the asus z77 sabertooth that i decided before. Oh! Im not planning to overclock anytime in the future. Thanks for all for your help !!

My specs
Hdd- Seagate Barracuda 1TB

Ssd- Intel 520 Series 120GB SSD

Cpu- Intel Core i5 3570K

Memory- Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3

Mb- ASUS P8Z77-V-LE-PLUS Motherboard

Power supply- CoolerMaster GX 750W PSU

Video card- ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II

Case - CoolerMaster CM Storm Stryker

The difference in 3570k and 3470 in games is unnoticeable. Say a 3570k gets 60fps a 3470 might get 57fps. You wouldn't notice. Game performance is mostly based on GPU.

The best PSU for one GPU is the Seasonic G 550 80+ Gold. The price, performance, and quality are awesome. ( it's new otherwise I would have bought it last year when I needed a good PSU. It can handle a 7970.


If you are not overclockin then get a 3470. Almost same performance.

750W is overkill. Grab a Seasonic 550W gold.

Everything else is great. The Sabertooth is for high overclockers or people that want 3 gpus. I don't advise it. The mobo you choose is very good.
 


thanks for your advice. 3470 has the same performance as 3570k in gaming?
 




thanks for you advice. hmm. never did much research on psu. if i were to change my video card to amd hd 7970 which psu is best to support it?
