Just finish my first rig, rate me, advice me.

[AngusYoung]

Hi everyone, i just finished building my very first new gaming rig. pretty basic, but i think it can do the job .

Description:
- Haf 922
- Asrock Z77 extreme4-m
- I5 3570K
- Cooler master 212 evo
- Corsair Vengeance 8gb 1600mhz pro series
- Geforce GTX 650

I'm using it mostly to play Starcraft 2, League of legends and messing around with HTML 5
I was thinking in overclocking, that's why i bought the 3570k but,
do you think i can play SC2 in extreme settings without oc?
any software you recomend i must have in order to keep everything nice and safe here?
No need to say i'm a noob in this, so i will appreciate all advice i can get from you.

To do
- re-consider overclocking
- If OC wanted, get FX-6300
- get a cheaper case maybe the Coolermaster N300
- get the cheapest 2x4GB RAM you can find. G.skill's RAM are pretty cheap and quite reliable
- Get better GPU with whatever cash you have left. Aim for R9 270!

I've never played SC2 before so i don't know graphically demanding it is. Try maxing out all the settings and see how may FPS you get, if it's not satisfying, try overclocking it. Drivers, keep them up-to-date to get the most out of your GPU.

SC2 is CPU demanding not GPU.

As for the OP, with a 3570k... Im not sure your 3570k and my 8320 are on par pretty much and I cant run SC2 on Exterme presets without OC'ing my cpu to 5.4ghz.. soo

just finished updating all drivers, installing starcraft. I spent almost all the budget in this parts, so i think i gonna have to keep them, i will try to see if i can play sc2 maxed out and see what happens.

Your parts are well balanced, there's no replacement needed, unless you're upgrading. Just play around with the settings.
