Hey guys,
I'll be starting my first built hopefully soon, and I have been scouting the kind of set-up I wanna have. It will be for gaming, I will not OC it for now, but I wanna have the potential to do it if I desire to. I am also trying to make it somewhat future-proof. Don't wanna have to add on too much stuff just so that it can play future games too soon !
Anyway, here is what I have so far:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz $250
MOB: BIOSTAR TZ77XE3 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 $120 (Kind of new, looked promising)
Link: BIOSTAR TZ77XE3 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s...
GPU: Radeon HD 6850 $140
PSU: SILVERSTONE Strider Essential series ST60F-ES 600W... $70
(I REALLY don't know anything about psus, but that one seemed good)
RAM: Ripjaws X Series DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666 - 8 GB) $42
Total: $622
Anyway, I still need a HDD (Waiting until I find one for cheap) and, obviously, a Case (lol)
So let me know what you guys think, what you would change, and what Case/HDD I should get.
Thanks !
