Hello tomshardware community, I’m putting together a gaming PC for the first time & am looking for some of your comments on what I’ve chosen. Budget is around $1500.
CPU: Intel CORE i5 2500K
Motherboard: MSI P67A-GD55B3
Memory: Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Unbuffered DIMM
Graphics Card: MSI N560GTX-Ti Hawk
PSU: Antec TruePower New TP-750 Blue 750W
CPU Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper 212+
Storage: Western Digital WD1002FAEX 1TB 3.5" CAVIAR BLACK 7200RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s
Case: Antec Dark Fleet DF-85
DVD Drive
Are all the components (especially the RAM & motherboard) compatible with each other?
For the case, I’m still deciding between the Antec Dark Fleet DF85 & the Silverstone Raven RV02. RV02 is definitely sleeker & sexier but the DF85 has better airflow.
Any comments would be greatly welcomed & appreciated!
