Overall, great build. Replace the Cooler Master CPU with a Corsair or Seasonic PSU, at probably 50w (in case you ever want to SLI). Also, your motherboard is a full-ATX board, and the case you've chosen appears to be a Mini-Tower; I would look at that compatability. Fo the HDD, get one with 64 MB cache, not 32 MB. Also, try to get an SSD; even if it's just 60 GB, you can hold the OS on it and get extremely fast boot times. I would get the Samsung 840 Pro Series.

I don't think the Z77 is a microATX MoBo, is it? If so, change the MoBo, or the case.

For gaming, I would drop the RAM (to 8GB), and Win8 to Win7,

The Hyper 212 may not fit the i5- (just check chip size) - might need to get the Hyper 212 EVO instead.
I tend to get generic keyboard andmouse to save $$, but it is just preference.

 

[realchaos]

Overclocking? Budget? Can you shop anywhere else?

-16gb of ram is overkill. Stick with 2x4gb.
-Your HDD is only 32mb cache. Grab the 64mb one.
-Never even heard of Raygo cases.
-Grab the XFX 550w psu. Its more reliable.

 

[TheBigTroll]

id say its bad for the most part. the level 10 mouse and the coolermaster psus are definite no-nos

give me a budget to work with and ill put together something

 

[p_Bassman]

my budget? 1600 at the very highest, i want to keep some money in my savings just in case. and i dont want to spend 149.99 usd on that, its not in my budget.

 

[odiervr]

My two cents:
1. PSU: Corsair, seasonic, or PC power and cooling are good brands
2. Not familiar with your case. I'd rec a mid tower Cooler master. I have a CM HAF 912 (huge, but no problem fitting ANYTHING !)
3. You do not need a tool kit of any kind. (1 phillips screwdriver will do)
4. Keyboard with a fan ??
5. I love my Razor Death Adder ... I MEAN LOVE !!
6. 8 GB Ram will do
7. Plug in all your components into PCPartshopper.com and it will give you some compatability checks. Saved me once with and CM 212 issue.

GL. For the build:
1. Give yourself 1/2 a day minimum for your first build (do not want to be rushed in any way)
2. Watch youtube"newegg computer build" and you'll be fine. I'm of average intelligence and did it twice !!

[p_Bassman]

dont worry, i just graduated from hs, i have plenty of time.

 

[odiervr]

+1 to the Troll's build. Last thoughts from me:
1. If you have some time you can save some money (approx $100 in this build) by e shopping over the course of 1-2 weeks and buying the build when you get a rebate / price drop. Newegg, tigerdirect, amazon to name a few ...
2. That's a great GPU, but you can get a very capable one for under $300 ...
Bottom line: it's your money and this build will last you for years. Enjoy.

so, would this be capable of arma?

 

[TheBigTroll]

yes. it should run pretty well

 

[p_Bassman]

wait, do i get both the ssd and the internal hd? just being sure so i dont buy too much.

 

[TheBigTroll]

if you think you can live off of around 240gb of space, you dont need to get the hard drive. i would however

thats out of my price range for now, my budget is redlining.

 

[TheBigTroll]

changing the board a little can save you enough money for a good keyboard
