I am looking to build a new gaming PC. I have a basic spec outlined which comes in nicely into my budget. I don't need any peripherals at this point so that's all good. I am looking at:
Intel i5 - 4690K 3.5 GHz processor
Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 CPU Cooler
Asus Z97-K Motherboard
8 GB DDR3 RAM at 2400 MHz
Kingston 240 GB SSD
Western Digital 3TB 7200 RPM HDD
ASUS GeForce GTX 750 Ti OC 2GB GDDR5
Corsair Builder Series Modular CX750M - 750 Watt 80 PLUS® Bronze Power Supply
I have my eye on a Novatech case which is the right form factor so that should be fine.
Hopefully this will work out pretty well, and run pretty much anything for now, and let me upgrade the RAM/Graphics card in a year or two when I have more cash if it becomes necessary. I will probably try overclocking the processor to around 4.2 GHZ, from what I have read it can go a bit higher but I don't want to push it.
So, am I being relatively sensible, or have I missed something?
