Hey, I'm new to Tom's and building computers. Today I went to a nearby electronics mall and picked up some sheets showing what they have. I'm helping a friend build a computer, he wants Skyrim and Battlefield 3 to run at high/ultra at a fluent 60FPS or higher at 1900 x 1080p.
I am confused about parts compatibility, especially cases. Will these parts function together? Is the i7-2600k worth it over the i5-2500k?
By the way, we live in Singapore, so prices are in SGD.
