Hello to all, I'm currently in need of advice on a custom built PC.
After doing hours of research I've seemed to have only boxed myself into a corner and in a loss of where to go next. Looking for a computer that can do gaming (Skyrim) and some light video editing on the side. Maybe even recording game play. Does the i5 have a risk of bottle necking with a Video Card around < $300? Also clueless on what motherboard is applicable with a price range of $1200.
The rig I've put together goes like this:
CPU -Newegg.com - Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623I52500K
MoBo - Newegg.com - BIOSTAR TZ68A+RCH LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Video Card -Newegg.com - EVGA 012-P3-1570-AR GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
In need of suggestions with the video card. I'm looking for quality is this a good choice and is it compatible with the CPU?
PSU - Newegg.com - Rosewill Xtreme Series RX850-S-B 850W Continuous @40°C ,80 PLUS Certified, ATX12V v2.2 & EPS12V v2.91, SLI Ready CrossFire Ready, Active PFC "Compatible with Core i7, i5" Power Supply
Can I go lower in price?
RAM -Newegg.com - G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
HDD -Newegg.com - HITACHI HDS721050CLA362 (0F10381) 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Without monitor or case so far I'm looking at $924.94.
Thanks
