Ready to build?

[jeremie4159]

Hi, this is the first time I'm building a gaming pc and I thing I'm ready to build it. But I just want some last opinions/advice before I start ordering the pieces in a few days.

Will I be able to play games such as BF3 on max setting(or close to max) with no lag? Is this a good rig overall? Any suggestion to make it better with out paying hundreds more?

looks fine. should be a good system. Pretty good size budget you got there.

Nice solid build, I'd just go with a different PSU. Something from Corsair, XFX or SeaSonic and no need for a 750w, 650w will be more than enough even if you get a 2nd 670.

PSU recommendations:
1- Seasonic SS-660XP 660W - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151121
2- Seasonic X650 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151088
3- Corsair HX650 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139012

I would go with a different PSU, but do you plan to SLI in the future?

 

[jeremie4159]

Thanks for the responses, I might change the PSU as you said zander.

@deemo13: Yes I might SLI in the future, would you change something in the build if I plan on doing so?

 

[Deemo13]

Well, you are probably going to want at or above 750W or so for SLI in the future.

 

[jeremie4159]

Thanks. I'm ready to buy all the part now, solved!

Happy building and Merry Christmas!
