Hi! I was just looking for some advice/comments on a new computer I'm building. This is my first time, and just want to make sure I'm not doing anything stupid. Here are the parts I have picked out: Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68M-D2H LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s Mirco ATX Intel Motherboard Graphics Card: EVGA 02G-P3-1559-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) 2GB 192-bit GDDr5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Case: Antex Three Hundered Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Processor: Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core RAM: Corsair XMS3 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Green WD7500AARS 750GB Monitor: SAMSUNG S22A350H ToC Rose Black I have a mouse, speakers and a keyboard. Any suggestions? I really appreciate any help I can get on this.
kk couple of questions... what will you be doing with this rig? Gaming, video, picture, media editing? 3-D rendering? Also do you plan on overclocking your CPU and/or GPU? This way I can help you out better and get a feel for what you need, because right now those parts seem kind of random.
dont forget to get a powersupply... around 600W~700W is looking good for you http://www.eio.com/c-291-power-supplies.aspx?pagesize=12§ionids=681&ViewType=2
Here take a look at this http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=19119566 I threw Windows 7 64-bit in there just cause I wasn't sure if you had a copy or not. Also in your initial post you had left some components out such as PSU and the optical drive. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to ask.
