Here's my upcoming first gaming build:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3470 3.2GHz Quad-Core
Motherboard: Asus P8H77-I Mini ITX LGA1155
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM
GPU: MSI Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB
Case: BitFenix Prodigy (Red) Mini ITX Tower
PSU: Corsair 430W ATX12V
My two major concerns:
-Don't know about my ssd or optical drive yet. Since I have a copy of windows 7 on a disk, should I buy an optical drive and install it on that?
-Will this build run Battlefield 3 on ultra (at least keeping above 40fps)
Thanks guys.
