What I plan on reusing in the new build:
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231422
Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151095
Hard Drive: Newegg.com - Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST3750528AS 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
What I plan on buying:
Case: Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER HAF 922 RC-922M-KKN3-GP Black Steel + Plastic and Mesh Bezel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and Black Interior
Mobo: Newegg.com - ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Processor: Newegg.com - Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I53570K
Graphics card: Newegg.com - EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-3662-KR GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
I will be using this as a gaming computer for a 1920*1080 monitor at 60hz playing new games like bf3, bf:bc2, among other new games I might want to play. I don't enjoy lag or stutters so 55-60 fps is what I'm looking for at max settings.
Budget isn't an issue but I don't want to go overkill and waste money of course. I'm not sure if that graphics card is powerful enough, also does the smaller pcb on that graphics card have a negative impact? Would I be better off going with ASUS because of the DirectCU II cooler enstead of EVGA for better cooling? Or would it be worth it to pay 80 Dollars more and just go with a 670? AMD isn't out of the question but I would like a quality computer that will last me awhile. Feel free to give advice on other parts of my build if you think that I am making a bad choice on something.
Thanks for you time!
