    Hello HF Community!

    I'm gonna ask a local shop to custom build a new PC and while i have made some parts decision i would like you to have a look at them and give me an advice if i should improve or the opposite on parts.

    -- So Around 1000Euro budget
    -- Would like to get most parts from the shop cause im not pretty confident with installing them myself (At least for CPU, Mother Board)
    -- Would prefer it to be quiet without sacrficing performance
    -- Goal is a PC that can play Star Wars: The Old Republic smoothly and can handle upcoming Games.

    So after some research i think the CPU will be i5 2500k @ 200 Euro

    For GPU while the money allows i decided MSI Ge Force GTX 560-TI 1GB Twin FrozR II/OC @ 234 euro would be a good choice but i would like to hear your opinion too.

    For Motherboard with my low knowledge i came into ASUS P8Z68-V LE @ 140 Euro Definitely could use some advice on that since there are many choice and im low informed. 6 audio jacks is a must for my choice.

    For RAM the choices i have is ddr3 at 1333mhz coz thats the max 2500k CPU supports so i think G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) @ 47 Euro is good

    For PSU i dont know exact power i need for this setup but i think CORSAIR TX650 V2 650W @ 94 Euro is good. (Damn you guys after all the reading i done about fail PSUs im moving to the high end ones!)

    For CPU Cooler Either i ll keep the stock one or i ll get the Scythe Mugen 3 @ 45 Euro. i want something with low level of noice would like suggestion on this.

    For PC Case I'm pretty lost but somehow i chose this one Antec Three Hundred Black @ 69 Euro

    Finally for the Storage Options i would like some advice. Want around 1-2 TB for data music etc and a 60GB SDD for the games i think? So with my own research i came to these Western Digital Caviar Green WD15EARX 1.5TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive@ 157 Euro and Corsair Force Series 3 CSSD-F60GB3-BK 2.5" 60GB SATA III SSD @ 109 Euro.

    So looking forward to your opinions and thanks for reading my post!

    CPU Cooler- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835146011&Tpk=NZXT havik or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118020 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118074

    RAM- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314

    For your HDD STAY AWAY FROM HITACHI!!!!!!!! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185

    Also for your CPU, do you plan on overclocking? If not you do not need the 2500k, that is for overclockers. You will be fine with a 2400 or 2500, save yourself some money!

    GPU & Motherboard- Looks good!

    PSU- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341018

    Hope this helps.
