I'm not an extreme gamer, or avid gamer for that matter, but I have some extra money and would love to have a nice mid-range gaming pc. I play WoW, Skyrim & GW2 mostly. I don't know much about building, so i've been going off of NewEgg reviews & TomsHardware recommendations. I've already ordered a few components because I got great deals on them, but outside of that I am wide open to any suggestions. And believe me, any help/suggestions would be very much appreciated. Here's what I have thus far;
MSI Twin Frozr GeForce GTX 660
2x WD 600 Gb Velociraptor HDD's, 10k RPM
Intel i5-3570k
Outside of that, I'm wide open to suggestions. Here's what I had picked out to complete my system. Please critique...
Case - NZXT Phantom 410 Mid Size
RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
MoBo - 1 of these; (MSI Z77A-GD55, GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD3H, ASRock Z77 Extreme4-M) Something that might be of note, if I go with the MSI I get G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 free with it.
PSU - I literally have no clue what size I would need with this build. Every PSU calculator i look at gives me a different number. I would love someone to be able to give me some advice on this one...
Opt. Drive - LG Black 14X Blu-Ray burner
Cooling - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, G.SKILL FTB-3500C5-D Fans
Again, any critique/recommendations would be much appreciated. I would love some input, especially on what size PSU I need before I complete this build. Thanks in advance.
