i already have a case and a HDD so dont mention that but how would this perform and which one should i go with

 

[iNSANE WaffLeZz]

was that the only game you noticed or is there other games?

That's the only one I can think of off the top of my head, but there were a few other programs that warranted the switch for me. Otherwise Window 8 is actually brilliant, it runs most apps faster and the boot time is incredible.

 

[iNSANE WaffLeZz]

so do you think it will run starwars battlefront 2 and yes i still like to play it, counter strike, garrys mod, half life 2, and FTL?

 

[tiny voices]

Yes all those sound run fine. I play garys mod, TF2, half life 2 all the time.

those don't really count as old. I'm talking pre-XP even run fine.

 

[iNSANE WaffLeZz]

ok i will get win 8 this really helped thanks

 

[iNSANE WaffLeZz]

will this all fit in a midtower http://pcpartpicker.com/user/hujo98/saved/2ILf

 

[tiny voices]

Yes any high quality mid-tower ATX case will fit these parts just fine.

how would this one work NZXT 220 and yes i know it doesnt have a SSD or 2.5 inch spot for it but ill just custom mount it

It will be fine. I have my SSD and laptop HDD mounted in a bracket that works well, you might want to take a look.

This is a very good quality case.

 

[iNSANE WaffLeZz]

so just take out the 3.5 inch bracket and put in a 2.5?

 

[Blaise170]

The one I linked is a 3.5" bracket. You simply screw in the HDDs, and then you can slide it into the tower like you would a normal 3.5" HDD.

 

[iNSANE WaffLeZz]

if its 3.5 i already have some in the case but the ssd is 2.5 inches so i dont know if you meant to say 2.5 or maybe i just dont understand

 

[Blaise170]

My SSD which is 2.5" will not normally fit in my tower. Towers use the 3.5" standard. The bracket I linked converts the 2.5" SSD into a 3.5" SSD so that you can put it in the tower without it falling out.

 

[iNSANE WaffLeZz]

oh so its pretty much 2 in 1

 

[Blaise170]

oh so its pretty much 2 in 1

Yeah you can place two 2.5" drives into the bracket and it works just like a regular 3.5" HDD (size-wise).

 

[iNSANE WaffLeZz]

is there a video you can send me on how to install it?

 

[tiny voices]

You just slide your 2.5 drive in and screw it in. Then you slide the bracket into the 3.5 bay on the computer and screw it in like a normal HDD.

 

[Blaise170]

Here's a picture of mine, just to give you an idea.

 

[iNSANE WaffLeZz]

would you recommend buying all of the parts at the same time or buy them when they go on sale? oh and i found this SSD that looks pretty nice http://pcpartpicker.com/part/kingston-internal-hard-drive-sh103s3120g.

 

[Blaise170]

I bought my parts separately. I had to wait a bit longer, but I saved almost $50 on RAM and about $60 on my GPU.

 

[iNSANE WaffLeZz]

so im taking that as a yes and did you ever get any parts that didnt work out of the box and if you want to it would be alot easier to talk over skype:hujo98

I just received a gtx660ti that was dead on arrival today actually. Just mailed it off for RMA. Should have a new one by late next week.

Other than that, no I have not.

I chose the FX 8320 because of the price and with some overclocking it should do very well or even without that it should be good.

If you would choose the next cooler you could shave another $20 of,

Or if you wanted some really fast ram for just a little bit more,

Wouldn't the 7970 save $50 plus still perform the same as a 280X?

is the a certain time you have to mail it in for RMA
