Hey,
I decided to experiment a little and sell my Macbook Pro to buy my first Windows machine. All in the name of science. I already have a display, mouse and keyboard. What I want is a good, reliable, future-proof gaming PC for about 1100€, that is 1400$, but I guess in my country things are a bit more expensive, so lets say 1300$.
I already have build something:
Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z68MA-D2H-B3
CPU: INTEL Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz 6MB BOX LGA1155
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance LP CML8GX3M2A1600C9B 8GB (2x4GB) PC12800 DDR3
GPU: eVGA Geforce GTX670 2GB PCIe
HDD: SEAGATE ST1000DM003 1TB 7.2/64M/S600
SSD: OCZ Agility 3 120GB 25/S600
Case: COOLER MASTER Elite 370
Optical disc drive: NEC AD-7283S DVD-+RW 24x
PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-600G Gaming 600W
I think everything is fine, but I am a bit unsure about motherboard, case and PSU. And what about CPU cooling? Is stock Intel CPU fan good enough?
What do you guys think?
PS: sorry if my english is bad, I am not from english speaking country.
Thanks a lot!
