Hi everyone,
So, I'm now buying the parts for my new PC as my current PC is getting long in the tooth and is having issues.
I've already bought my GPU (good thing I bought it straight away as it sold out the day after they had stock) and CPU. My remaining budget at this point is $1300
The GPU is the eVGA 780ti HydroCopper (W/C build).
The CPU is an Intel 4670K.
I need a Motherboard and RAM. For the Motherboard, I'm thinking an MSI 297 Gaming 7 but I'm open to suggestions.
RAM wise, I'm thinking of a Corsair Vengeance 8 gig kit but I've been reading that if you're using an SSD build, a 16 gig kit is better.
For hard drives, I've got 3 platter drives and 1 Samsung 840 Pro 128gb (my OS drive).
With the new build, I'm retaining them but adding a Samsung 840 Evo 1tb drive for the games.
