Hey guys I've been in need of a new desktop pc so I decided to take a stab at putting one together myself. My tech experience isn't very high but it seems like putting together a pc isn't toodifficult nowadays with all the info available on the net.
The main thing this rig will be used for is gaming, playing games like SWTOR, League of Legends, Diablo 3 in the highest settings I can get.
Alright so for the parts I've been looking at:
CPU- Intel Core i5 2500K Quad Core Unlocked Processor LGA1155 3.3GHZ Sandy Bridge 6MB -240$
Case-Coolermaster Haf X EATX Tower Case Black -200$
I know the case is huge but I like the look of it and the way I see it is it'll have tons of room for future components
GPU- EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores Classified-325$
MOBO- Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 ATX LGA1155 Z68-175$ (165$ after MIR)
PSU-
RAM- Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1600 CL9-9-9-24 Dual Channel-50$
SSD-OCZ Agility 3 120GB 2.5IN SATA3 Sandforce-190$ (170$ after MIR)
HDD-Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB SATA3 6GB/S 7200RPM 32MB Cache 3.5IN HDD Hard Drive OEM -160$
Is everything compatable?
Are there any places in my build where I could dish out a bit more money for alot more performance, or places where I could save a few bucks on un-needed premiums?
Hopefully I've given enough information, any and all opinions will be greatly appreciated

Corsair Enthusiast Series TX850M 850W ATX Modular Power Supply-140$ Would a 750w power supply be good enough if I would want another 560ti and possible overclocking or should i stick with an 850w? |
