My gaming Build. Thoughts?
Options
-
12-04-2012 6:50pmI'm going to be buying all of my components in the morning, so I just want to see what you guys think before I end up forking out my hard-earned cash.
I've stretched my budget a bit far with the SSD and 680. But I figured, 'what the hell!' Originally i was going to go for a 7950 and a 60gb SSD.
Anyways, Let me know what you think. Thanks! (BTW, this is my first build ever)

- PSU is 800W, not sure why you need that much, you'd be fine with a 650, or even a 550W psu.
- Case is just one I like around the same price as the Antec, I don't like the Antec but I believe its available on that site if you really want it. The 500R is very nice if you want to take a look at that.
- Got a 2TB hard drive instead of a 1TB one.
- Same CPU cooler, although I suggest you get a better one.
- Awesome push and pull case fan. 120mm too.
- ASRock Z68 board, if you ever want to crossfire/sli you will need a better motherboard. Best of getting it now rather than later. Or you could get a new Z77 board, not a huge amount of new features but its probably worth it.
- Same size monitor, same make. Although this one is LED instead of LCD.
With the money your saving ordering off HWVS, perhaps you could get a Catleap instead.
Amazing resolution on it, although its 280euro roughly and you may or may not get hit with customs.
- Same SSD.
- Gigabyte 680. Just because I like the Gigabyte models, unfortunately not a single 680 is available on HWVS for at least 7 days, so if you order tomorrow. You could be waiting 2-3 weeks to get your stuff, or you could order the 680 seperately off a different site.
Nothing else to add, you can still get all the peripherals off dabs, don't get a keyboard off that site as it will come in German layout.
edit: Get the G400 instead, and get it off Amazon. Its a lot cheaper.
And perhaps a mechanical keyboard.0 -
