RAM: kingston 4gb 1333 ddr3
HDD/SSD: intel ssd 60gb and hitachi 500gb common HD/well i am plannig to put the OS in the SSD, is there a special way to do it or is it just like putting the OS in a common HD
VGA: powercolor HD7870 2gb ddr5/inno3d gtx660 2gb ddr5
PSU: aerocool 600 watts or 800 watts???
 
- Drop the CPU for an Intel Core i5-3350P or Intel Core i5-3470.
- Up your RAM to 8GB (2x 4GB).
- Get a PSU from Corsair, PC Power & Cooling, Seasonic, or XFX. Aerocool PSU are not very good.

sir i will up my RAM to 8 GB as you say coz i have some extra money
what about cooler master or thermaltake for my PSU?
sir why should i drop my CPU?
 

No. Stick to the ones that I listed. ;)


No reason to have an unlocked CPU and not be able to overclock it.

Sir the i5-3570, i5-3570k, i7-3770, i7-3770k versions of intel are the ones available on the computer parts shop near in my vicinity.

my intentions are not to contradict sir but i
tried this site and it chooses HD7870 better that GTX660
well im a beginner in making a gaming rig, so i mostly base my choices on benchmarks and reviews on different sites, and as a result the hd7870 won the competition, but i want to hear your comment :D
btw thank you for responding sir :)
