Hello. I've been lurking this place for awhile now since it has such a wealthy collection of information and so I figured I'd post here and get some recommendations or comments.
I've never build a machine before so I've been trying to do as much research as possible but I still don't know enough or have any experience with these types of things to know if what I am getting is going to be sufficient or not.
I have a budget of about 1,500 to 1,800 USD. My goal would be to play pretty graphic intense games like Elder Scrolls with full HD packs or FarCry 3 on high+ settings.
Item List:
Processor: Intel i5 3570k 3.4GHz
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LK ATX
Video Card: Gigabyte GTX 670
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
PSU: Rosewill CAPSTONE Series CAPSTONE-750-M 750W
Case: NZXT Tempest 410 Elite
Monitor: ASUS VS Series VS247H-P Black 23.6"
Sound Card: ASUS XONAR DG
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" SATA
Fans: 4x Cooler Master 120mm & 2x Xigmatek 140mm
PSU Cooler: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO
Fan Controller: NZXT Sentry Mesh 5 Channel 30W
Input Device: ASUS 24x DVD/CD Burner SATA
Keyboard: Gigabyte Mechanical
Mouse: Razer DeathAdder
OS: Windows 7 Home SP1 64-bit
The total comes up to about 1,650 USD.
As you can see, I am building completely from scratch. I have no peripherals so I had to include them as well. Does anyone see any immediate problems with this build or inefficiencies? It would really mean a lot to me if I could get some advice. Thank you for much for reading!
