Hello,
I am currently building a new gaming computer and would like some checks to see if all the parts fit or if there are any better suggestions.
Approximate Purchase Date: In the next 2 weeks
Budget Range: ~1600 after rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, internet browsing, music (just listening, not editing)
Parts Not Required: OS, Monitor, Mouse, Keyboard, Speakers
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, Amazon, Microcenter (I have 1 near me)
Country of Origin: USA
Parts Preferences: None
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire:No (I plan on using 1 card and upgrade with another 1 in 3-4 years)
Monitor Resolution: Currently I have 1680x1050, but I will get a bigger monitor for 1920x1080
Additional Comments: I looked around on other post made and I believe these are best bang for the buck and should hold me for about 3-4 years, if there are any other ways I can shave some money, I'm all ears
Is there any concern about airflow that I might need to get additional fans or replace the stock fans in the case?
Is the PSU too much and I should get a 650 or 700? In addition to upgrading to a new GPU in 3-4 years, I will also get an Ivy bridge processor around the same time to take advantage of PCI-e 3.0. I just don't want to get a 650W and have to buy a new PSU due to my upgrades.
Parts Chosen so far:
Case: COOLER MASTER HAF 932 Advanced RC-932-KKN5-GP Black Steel ATX Full Tower Compucase
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K
CPU Cooler: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus
Mobo: ASRock P67 EXTREME4 GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
GPU: MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC
PSU: CORSAIR Professional Series HX750 (CMPSU-750HX) 750W
HDD: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB
SSD: Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2 2.5" 128GB
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Model F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM
Thanks everyone for your help in advance.
