So I've decided to build my own gaming desktop from scratch. My goal is to be able to smoothly play a game like Skyrim on good graphics. My question is:
A. should I spend less/more on a specific part?
B. Will all the parts fit together in the case? (I've checked their compatibility already on pcpartpicker.com)
So here goes:
Processor: Intel Core i5-3570 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor - $209
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler - $30
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Professional-M Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard - $132
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory - $155
Storage: Seagate Constellation ES.3 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive - $97
Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 4GB Video Card - $500
Case: Zalman MS800 Plus ATX Mid Tower Case - $100
Power Supply: Silverstone Strider 600W 80+ Silver Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply - $100
