Looks great to me. Just make sure the 570 can fit along with a CPU heatsink if you decide to drop money on that.CoolS said:Hey guys. Finally want to go back into PC gaming after haven't really done anything the last 3 years since I got my notebook which is starting to show its age now sadly. Since I'm going to have some extra money by next month I decided I'm going to build my own desktop.
Looked around this thread and some other sites and started to put together a preliminary system. But first for the questions.
Your Current Specs: Not worth mentioning because I only have a laptop
Budget: 700-800 for the machine alone, will look for the monitor seperately, Germany
Main Use: basically all my work for my studies, as well as gaming and Wii emulation. If possible, I want to be able to play all modern games right now with high setting and a good framerate
List SPECIFIC games that you MUST be able to play: I definitely want to play games like Battlefield 3
When will you build?: Sometime in November
Will you be overclocking?: Never thought about it, but yes if it's not dangerous.
So, what I came up with so far is this:
Intel Core i5-2500K, 4x 3.30GHz, boxed
PNY GeForce GTX 570, 1.25GB GDDR5
ASRock P67 Pro3, P67 (B3) (dual PC3-10667U DDR3)
Sharkoon Rebel9 Economy
2xScythe Slip Stream 120x120x25mm, 800rpm
Antec High Current Gamer HCG-520, 520W ATX 2.3
Mushkin Enhanced Silverline Stiletto DIMM Kit 8GB PC3-10667U CL9-9-9-24 (DDR3-1333)
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1000GB, SATA II (HD103SJ)
LG Electronics GH22NS50 schwarz, SATA, bulk
With that I am at 741 at the moment. I really want a SSD as well though and probably a different CPU fan down the road.
What do you guys think about that? Any suggestions to make it cheaper/better etc.?
