Building a Gaming PC

[ziddia]

Hi,

I'm going to be buying parts for a gaming PC in the next couple of days. I have a budget of around $950-$1000, and I'm looking to maximize what I can get with that amount of money.

I've already put together this list, is there anything I need to add/change?

CPU Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core $248.00
Motherboard ASRock Z87 Pro3 ATX LGA1150 $100.00
Memory Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 $74.99
Storage Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM $63.61
Video Card MSI Radeon R9 270X 2GB $214.99
Case Thermaltake Urban S21 ATX Mid Tower $55.50
Power Supply Corsair 500W ATX12V $48.98
Optical Drive Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer $17.82

I was also told to look into a 212 Evo for cooling.

Thanks!

if you plan to overclock, then yes, the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is a good bang for the buck aftermarket CPU cooler. Don't forget that you will need an OS.
