Hello there!
I was planning on getting myself a PC, as I bought a new 26" monitor lately and my laptop can't really handle such big resolutions in games. As I was lurking on the internet looking for parts or general info, I almost always got links to threads on this site, so I thought I'd ask here for some opinions. I haven't been following technological advancements for the past few years, and I am completely experienceless when it comes to choosing a motherboard, a case, or cooling.
I mostly want to play Skyrim with mods and Guild Wars 2, and be able to play newer games on more than the lowest settings.
Here is what I got so far:
http://tinyurl.com/l5vbtv2
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670k
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard: ASRock Z87 Extreme4 ATX LGA1150
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 2 x 4GB DDR3-1600
Video card: MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB TWIN FROZR
Storage: Western Digital 1TB 7200RPM + Kingston 120 GB SSD
Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower
Power supply: SeaSonic G 550W
+A cd/dvd writer (Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS)
+A fan (Noctua NF-A14 FLX)
Other than just general compatibility and whether this would work at all, I'm mostly looking for a purse-friendly solution so if there are parts you know of that do the same (or perhaps even more) for a cheaper price, I'd appriciate that information too.
Also, is SSD worth it? I thought I might throw one in to install Windows 7 plus some games I'd play more often on it, but should I just save money on it instead?
I'd appreciate any comments.
Thank you!
