PC build.

Post » Tue Dec 06, 2011 5:18 pm

I'm building a new PC and I need some opinions on it.

CPU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072
video card - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121446
mobo - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130569
RAM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231190
hard drive - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148699
disk drive - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827118031
PSU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371049
case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042
wireless adapter - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320048

I'm pretty sure that I've sorted out any compatibility issues but if I've missed anything please let me know.

EDIT: Sorry I didn't put it in http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1217232-the-community-tech-thread-no-103/page__st__120 thread. It just barely got bumped.

I think you'll max most games. I also think you can go cheaper on your power supply. you can even save 100 buck if you go Phantom II 955 black edition opposed to the i-5. Although the i-5 is better.

A couple modifications I personally would make.

1) Its an micro ATX motherboard which will limit your expansion (in case you ever want to expand to SLI/Crossfire or just use another PCI-E x8 or higher) I would recommend a standard ATX motherboard.
2) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204 with burning capability.
3) For just a little bit more you can have a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185

Must it be wireless? Hardwired connection is always better.

edit- For PSU I http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005, plenty of room if you choose to upgrade.

That would work. May need to upgrade later, but not until you start cross firing stuff etc. A good power supply will only run you 50-60 bucks Agree with Starforce on the MB. Always want to go 16x and 8x. I would also go hard wire.

That's not much more. Sounds good.

I probably don't need 1 TB. How is it faster?

Yes, unfortunately.

Having extra space on a HDD is always nice, even if you dont plan on using it for a while. It has more cache buffer which will improve its speed a bit. The hard drive is always the slowest part in a PC these days.

For PSUs its never a good idea to skimp out on them. I am not too familiar with the Rosewill Green series, but the older models had a reputation to catch fire. Corsair is one of the best brands out there for PSUs. And if you do plan on expanding your PC (adding more HDDs or optical drives or anything) you will have the connections to do so.

Yes. Most reliable companies PSUs that are 600+ and 80+ will work fine for cross firing. unless stated otherwise, in reviews etc. Read lots of reviews.
