Well, it has been a while since I've been on the forums and I'm back to build a gaming rig.
I had intended on building one a couple of years back, but toned it down and just did a mild PC build.
Below is the wish-list of what I want to create, but just wanted to make sure I had all my ducks in a row before I order and make sure I didn't miss something. My current PC runs like a top, but definitely won't cut it for a gaming rig. This forum has been great to me, lots of help from the members, and plenty of knowledge learned just browsing the forum.
The list...
CPU/MOBO
CPU - Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623I72600K
MB - ASUS P8P67 EVO (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA
GPU
EVGA 012-P3-1570-AR GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP
PSU
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX850 V2 850W ATX12V v2.31/ EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE
RAM
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
HD
Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s
Randomess...
I already have a case, but it only has 3 fans, so I am not 100% sure if I am going to use it or not. I don't have a need for a Blu-Ray drive, so I will just use a spare DVD-rom drive I have still new in the box. All of this will be running on 64-Bit version of Windows 7.
All advice and suggestions are more than welcome. You guys really helped me out last time I did this, and I feel better asking the pros before I take the plunge.
Thank you.
