This is my first time building, so I am a little bit nervous about placing all my orders. I am building a gaming system to run at 1920x1080 and graphics settings set to highest (I mainly play rts games). I already have a good monitor, cpu, and psu (if it is compatible). Overclocking, although only slightly, is a distinct possibility. My budget is around $800-900.
After lots of research, here is what I have. Any advice is appreciated.
-CPU: i7 960 (already owned; got it for really cheap, otherwise I would have gone for i7 950)
-CPU Cooler: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1 ($28)
