Greetings tomhardwarians,
I will change my old rig very soon (hopefully) and I need your advice on some things in order to make sure I get the most from my investment and I will explain what I mean.
From my old rig I will keep (for the time being) the PSU which is an Antec EartWatts 80% 500w, the HDD which suits my needs for the time being and the optical unit (which I hardly ever use thanks to Steam
).
I will use it for:
-gaming in 1920x1080 (I'm aiming at games like DeusEx: Human Revolutions/ Witcher 2/ Crysis 2/ Starcraft 2/ Diablo 3/ WoW/ SW:ToR and others but I think you got the jist) in high if not ultra settings.
-watching movies
-posting long rants on forums, getting flamed and flaming back with a large possibility for trolling as well.
-possibly a little OC once I get comfortable with it but not to start with.
-maybe adding a second GPU later on (but I consider this optional)
Only thing I have atm is the GPU (which will arrive in a few days) - a GTX 560 Ti. I'm looking for advice regarding the rest: mobo/ proc/ memory and a case.
I would like an i5 with a mobo to match that will allow me later on to oc, add a second GPU or more memory; speaking of memory I was thinking of 8gb which is more than enough at the present time imo.
Budget wise I can spend around 700$/ 2100lei but prices where I'm from differ greatly fromt he ones in the States or UK as in they are larger so take that under account.
I would like to ask you kindly if possible to add your suggestions from either emag.ro or pcgarage.ro - the exchange rate is 1$ = 3lei. If not, you can use newegg etcetera but I would then have to look for them here and sometimes they're not in stock or just not in the offer so take that under consideration.
This is what I was thinking of but anything you can add to it would be great - I'm not so good with mobos and what each of them has as bonus for the a larger price..anyway:

case - http://www.emag.ro/carcase/carcasa-nox-coolbay-devil-edition-fara-sursa-neagra--pCoolbayDevilEdition
CPU - http://www.emag.ro/procesoare/procesor-intel-174-coretm-i5-2500k-sandybridge-3300mhz-6mb-socket-1155-box--pBX80623I52500K_S_R008
I want a case with good cooling and some room to do WM with ease (so I was thinking fan on top/ fan on the door/ fan to the back/ fan to the front and the PSU to be located in the lower part of the case). Would also like a recomandation for a 3rd party CPU cooler and if I should use Arctic Silver straight off the bat instead of the stock thermal paste it comes with.
That's all I guess!
