Re: Building a computer...in need of help! Ive changed a few things up...i went all out on a case. I figure that the only thing that im not going to upgrade is my case, so heres the case that i ordered:
»www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···11139009
It gets great air circulation, has a place for cords, and has USB 3.
As for my video card, ive heard a lot of good things about MSI (i originally was going to get an MSI gaming laptop but got a Macbook Pro instead) so i decided to get this video card:
»www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···14127696
I kept almost everything else the same except for my hard drive. I really dont need 2 TB, so i downgraded to 1 TB:

| I cant wait to order everything and put it together. Ive shown all of my buddies my latest build list; they all love it, and so do I. This is going to be awesome. |

why not pick the case + psu combo i picked. it has USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 |
|
| Ive already ordered my case. So far, ive ordered my case, SSD, and HD. |
|
| You order the Intel 520 120GB SSD? |
|
| 330. I didnt need to spend the extra $100; i imagine the 520 is faster, i dont think an amateur like me will notice the speed difference. Ive never had an SSD, so any SSD will be an upgrade for me. I can also upgrade in the future. |

If he did order all that stuff yesterday night. I wouldn't have took the time to look for the combo discount.
PS: looks like your friend change his mind again. |

It's hard to argue with a case that comes with five fans and a PLATINUM + MODULAR PSU.
But if he's trying to cut corners a tad, he could go with
Rosewill Challenger U3 - $60 - »www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···11147060
+
Rosewill Capstone 650w GOLD PSU - $90 - »www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···17182071
~$140 total, and even throw in a couple 120mm fans for $20 more.

When you're done, could you post your final build here, as well as what prices you got on each component.

kudos:7 | i7 is unnecessary for gaming, would have seen the extra money towards a 7970, but I assume you have your reasons.
Hope the build goes well!

Would be my only critique as well. Maybe an aftermarket cooler (though you could get a decent one for $30 anyway) since your system would kind of be asking to be OCed. |
|
| I actually was thinking about getting aftermarket cooling. Does it make a decent difference vs the fan that already comes worth it? |

kudos:2 | Anyone spending the money on an unlocked "K" version i7, would more then likely be overclocking it and would install aftermarket cooling.
If you're not OC'ing though, then the stock cooler will work okay. |

| Sorry, im not trying to sound completely stupid, but overclocking im guessing increases the computers performance, right? As in speed only? My case allows for plenty of air flow, and if i do overclock my computer i will probably guy an aftermarket fan and a couple more fans for my case. |

| Basically it will. I don't think extra fans are necessary. Getting something like a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, which comes with a fan, will be more than enough cooling capability to overclock your i7 to 4.4-4.6 with no difficulty. Just my suggestion! |

| Not a bad idea! Thanks! I imagine i will be doing all kinds of things to my computer once i actually get it up and running. Im building it this weekend (hopefully) so i will probably post a LOT of questions. Ive already been researching this, watching videos, etc. |

| reply to eve
And is there anything else you would suggest that i buy? Just making sure before i purchase this fan |
