The high end gaming PC is going to be something that can run everything at 1080P at high to ultra settings. This machine will burn through any game on the market, and will have plenty of room for expansion as well.Now to give you a run down of my choices for the build for you and explain the details. Core i5 3570K. For those who know me and have me do their builds, you’ll know that it’s just about the best processor you can get for the money today. With plenty of performance, top notch overclocking capability and enough horsepower to run any game you throw at it, the choice is a no brainer.
Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
30 cooler that will work magic. Seriously though, at this price, there’s no cooler out there can that beat this thing price wise and performance wise it's best bang per buck.
Motherboard - Gigabyte Z77X-D3H
Ever since Intel’s introduction of the Z77 chipset, motherboard giant Gigabyte has made huge leaps in in improvements on their motherboards all the way from the budget end to the extreme high end and the Z77X-D3H is a perfect example of what kind of top quality products can be achieved.
With support for PCIe 3.0, SATA 3 6Gb/s, 8 channel integrated audio, Gigabyte’s fully digital power delivery system, and ultra durable 4 features, it’s got a lot going for it.
Memory – 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz DDR3 Low Profile 1.5v
With excellent reliability, great performance, a low profile and an amazing price, there really isn’t a better option on the market.
GPU - MSI GTX 670 Power Edition
We’re building a gaming PC today, so that means we’re going to splurge a little on graphics lol!
Based off Nvidia’s new Kepler design, the GTX 670 provides top notch performance with extremely high efficiency, so you’re guaranteed to be getting a ton of performance without a lot of energy or creating a lot of heat either. ,
With MSI’s Power Edition GTX 670, you’re also getting MSI’s legendary Twin Frozr IV cooler, which will provide excellent cooling along with MSI’s triple overvoltage design that allows you to do a little overclocking to improve performance if you’re feeling adventurous.
Storage - Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM
For your build today, we’ll be going with a Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM hard drive, which if you asked me one or two years ago would’ve probably been my ideal choice when building a new gaming computer.
PSU - Corsair TX650 V2
Once again, i will be falling back on our trusty Corsair TX650 V2. High quality Seasonic made power supply for a great price to boot. NOTE- This is using newegg only you might be able to save some money with buying it from a few different places just check pc part picker and pick which ever store works best for you. I did not add a monitor so feel free to add that yourself.
