Building a gaming pc

[Yashar456]

Hey guys, I needed some advise and ideas on making my first gaming computer. I want to have decent parts in my system while maintaining a "budget" (max $1300ish) . I have gone through each of the parts roughly and found out some specific kinds. I need help making sure all of these products will all work with each other. Also if you could give me suggestions on better products/brands I would greatly appreciate it.
Here's my rough draft:
GRAPHICS CARD
Asus HD 7770-2GD5 from newegg- $149.99

TOWER/CASE
Cooler Master HAF 932 from newegg- $154.99
Thermaltake Overseer RX-1 from newegg- $129.99

MOTHERBOARD
Asus sabertooth 990fx from newegg- $184.99
BIOSTAR LGA ATX intel from newegg -$104.99

CPU
Intel core i5-3570k Ivy bridge 3.4ghz (3.8 ghz turbo) - $199.99

HARD DRIVE
Western Digital WD black, 1 TB, 7200 RPM , 3.5 ‘’ internal hard drive - $77.99

RAM
Corsair vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) 240 pin DDR3- $79.99

POWER SUPPLY
Corsair CX series CX430 430W from newegg- $59.99

SOUND CARD
ASUS XONOR essence ST 24 bit- 199.99

HEAT SINK
Cooler master hyper 212 - $34.99

FANS
Cooler master Mega flow 200mm red LED - $16.99

Note* i put two kinds in some of them just as possibilities

Thanks,
Yashar

Lol ok thanks so much, I went through the parts again, and the power supply does not seem to be in stock. Also the cpu cooler is not in stock as well i just changed those around and came to this final outline, I'm concerned about the power supply. As well as the plextor, i went with a asus optical drive. All in all I just need to will this all work and if there are flaws. Like I need this optical drive to mainly read Cd's and be able to write on them.

Do NOT get the Raidmax PSU!!! Only get one from a top tier company such as Seasonic, XFX, Corsair (except their CX series) or Antec.

ok, so then will do the job http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371044

and any thing else need checking?
like the optical drive?

 

[animal]

I'd get this one:

Most optical drives are about the same, unless you are planning on watching Blu-ray dvds, any $15-$25 unit will do the job

ok so this optical drive will do it. And for memory, I'm not sure if its compatible, like the pins have to match but like I was reading about the one I had chosen and I'm not sure if its gonna work. Could you take a look? http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145345

And once again, I'm not really sure if I should get a retail cpu cooler. I mean I'm not looking to go hardcore gamer, and plus
it shortens the life. Would I be able to change cpu coolers in the future?

 

[animal]

It looks to be compatible

Alright, I'm ready to buy. Any final words, thoughts .. anything else that doesn't look right?

 

[animal]

not that I can think of

Anyways all together thanks you so much for the help, I really appreciate it. I'm finally getting all my parts soon, any percautions when building the actual computer. Just for the safe side I got a anti-static wrist band, so I've read I should be putting in the power supply into the computer and then using my wrist strap.. blah .. blah.. What are your're suggestions on this?

Plus, just curious I got my graphics card, and I just opened the box to see it. I didn't touch any circuits at all and there was like a plastic covering over it. I just touched the plastic covering which was on the top side (where the fans are), would I have done damage to the part already? I'm just really curious lol

If your house outlet is a grounded one (will accept 3-prong PSU cable), then yes, if you mount your PSU into the case and plug the PSU into the outlet (make sure the PSU switch is off), then if you connect the wrist-strap to your case, you will be grounded. Just try to avoid working on carpeted floor. If you don't have a grounded outlet, then just strap yourself to the case before beginning and you can install the PSU when it's most convenient for you. There are many "How to" videos on YouTube and the like, Newegg has a few, along with a multitude of others.

As far as looking at your GPU, I doubt you did any damage to it. But when handling your parts, try to avoid touching the circuitry and connectors (such as the gold-plated ones that go into PCIe or memory slots). You will be fine, just read and watch as much as you can while waiting for the remainder of your parts to arrive. Also, you may want to read-up on "bread-boarding" your build outside the case to check for component(s) functionality prior to putting everything together.

Hey sorry for the late reply, I built the system last Friday ( piece of cake) and it runs perfectly... Just wanted to say thanks for all help in finding the right parts

I am very happy that everything went well. I hope you are satisfied with your build and that it meets (or exceeds) your expectations! Best wishes
