How Is PC Build With Questions

[Shadeslayer110]

Hi,
I want to build a new PC over the summer and wanted to know how it is. I want to use it for modern games, such as Titanfall, Skyrim, and ESO with decent graphics and a good fps rate, and also I want to use it for school work. I know that my GPU is weak for my build, so I am going to upgrade it to a gtx 760/770 when I can.

also have one question: The only Windows 7 I found was the OEM version, which from I heard is different from installing the retail version. How do you install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1 OEM Edition?

It looks like a solid build. I'm not too sure about the Evga PSU, tho. Its quality is questionable and the 480W, 40A +12V rail will be a bit light for fast cards like the GTX 770. It will work, but you won't be left with much overhead.

You just install the Win7 OEM version like the retail version, but they are different check the link http://cdn-static.zdnet.com/i/story/60/34/001514/license-and-media-matrix.png more detail from here http://www.zdnet.com/blog/bott/what-microsoft-wont-tell-you-about-windows-7-licensing_p2/1514

The EVGA psu, you want to make sure get this 100-B1-0500-KR model, which is the 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified. Other version is 100-W1-500-KR that is only 80 PLUS Certified.

Which PSU is better?

Or is there any other good PSU for the same price?

The EVGA is better.

You really should be looking at a PSU in the 600W or better category if you plan on upgrading to the GTX 770 or even the 760. And if you think you may want to take advantage of dual cards, a 750W minimum. If you go with Corsair, the CX is known for having poor quality capacitors.

You can get a much MUCH better video card if you're not wasting money on overclocking.
