First Build Need a Lot of Help

[tyroneroyer]

First time build. Tried to learn as much as i could about building however i feel overwhelmed by everything. Please advise me what I should change and why. Most important is the why for me because i want to learn the general criteria for the parts and incompatibility etc. This is a learning experience foremost.

What I am looking at:

Get the 7870 instead. More powerful, lower price.

I personally would go for a cheaper case.
I would go for an i5 if I were you. Also because of that you might be able to afford a 7950.

Thanks for the info. My understanding is the i7 3770's hyperthreading are rarely needed in any situation but the pricing isnt all that different i thought? Looking at i5 benchmarks they seem quite abit lower which lead me to i7. Had trouble with the graphics card so that is very helpful to get the best value. I have no idea how to pick a case. Some things i would lok for in a case are a couple front 3.0 usb and the back usbs are higher rather then on the bottom. And lots of fans. Other then that they seem to be all the same so a cheaper one would be better. Thanks again

I don't know what you are talking about, they look the same across the board

B75 is garbage for gaming, try looking for the other ones like Z, P or H 77

The comparison on benchmark.net shows a difference? Is Benchmark.net skewed in any way or is it a good way compare. I do not know but thats what i based my comments on and how i came to pick the i7.

Would this be something to get? Or should i stick with asus. $30 here and there is alright but the lower the price the better. Are there any specific value mobos you suggest or are z, p and h77 generally the way to go?

hmmm theyre not the top brand but theyre ok. id recommend Asus Gigabyte and the other big names but dont overpay. Go midrange and be sure that it has the slots you need

Redid the setup. Tried to take your guys' info into consideration. Thanks alot for all the help and i learned alot. Im pretty satisfied with these parts. Let me know any issues or reccomendations. i7 is debatable for me but the pricing doesnt seem too bad.

I have never heard of benchmark.net. But All you are looking for in a cpu is making sure it won't bottleneck your gpu.

The i5 3570k should be more than enough and shouldnt bottleneck anytime soon? I am thinking either way saving the 80 bucks is a good idea.

The i5 2500k is fine let alone the 3570k. Theres OC room if you need in the future years too
