So I'm new to this forum and all that, I joined to get other peoples thoughts on whether or not I should change parts in my computers build that I'm planning to buy
----------
My NEW base build: (Just the essentials, not the extras)
Case: CM Storm Trooper w/Window
Motherboard: ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z
CPU: AMD FX-8350 8 Core Processor
Graphics Card: Crossfired MSI Radeon HD7970 3GB OC (x2)
RAM: Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) Vengeance Performance DDR3 1866Mhz
Optical Drives: LG CH12LS28 12X BD-R Blu-ray DVD Combo Drive (x2)
Hardrive 1: Seagate Barracuda 3TB (For general storage, movies, music, etc.)
Hardrive 2: Corsair Neutron 256GB 2.5' SSD (For my OS and Games)
Psu: Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 850W
After Market CPU Fan: Zalman 9900 Max-B 135mm
----------
So yeah, thats my NEW base build. It currently costs $2518. Any adjustments, additions or improvements you could recommend for me would be greatly appreciated, if possible try to keep the cost not too high.
Also you may have noticed I'm trying to build a fairly decent gaming computer so hopefully you guys will know if something i've chosen is incompatible with something else, etc.
Thanks!
