Hi everyone,

Needed your advice regarding my first ever gaming pc build. My finalized configuration is as follows:

1. Processor i5 3570K
2.Motherboard Gigabyte GaZ77x UD3h
3.Ram Corsair Vegeance 4gb 1600
4. Hard Drive: Western Digital 500 GB
5.GPU Nvidia GTX 660Ti
6.PSU Corsair VS 650
7.Chasis Thermaltake Nvidia Edition Element V Basic (already got it) - a gift :)

I will be highly thankful to all of you to help me. Awaiting your reply
 


You're going to want 8GB of RAM. 4 would work, but 8 is optimal for the present generation of games. Beyond that, I don't know what specific HDD you have there, but I've found that often 500GB hard drives are almost equal in cost to 1TB hard drives. That being the case, if you think that you might need the space, you may want to go up to 1TB. Lastly, if you intend to overclock, a CPU cooler is needed. I recommend the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
