Need a quick check before I order these parts
About to place an order with newegg so I can take advantage of the free shipping and the discounts from black friday, and I need a quick check of the parts to make sure I'm not screwing anything up. I want to build this PC to play games such as Diablo 3, Skyrim, Final Fantasy XIV, and others at max graphical settings.
Parts I already have PSU Thermaltake W0106RU 700W Complies with ATX 12V 2.2 & EPS 12V version SLI Certified 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply Heatsink/Fan ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 92mm Fluid Dynamic CPU Cooler Also have Antec 900 case, a cd/dvd drive, and a 500gb hard drive. So I need the following parts yet. Motherboard ASUS P8Z68-V LE LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS CPU Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623I52500K Video Card EVGA SuperClocked 015-P3-1582-AR GeForce GTX 580 (Fermi) 1536MB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card Would I be better off buying this or the regular 580? Does the superclocked even offer that much more performance? RAM CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B Will I need this kind or the low profile kind? SSD Corsair Force Series GT CSSD-F120GBGT-BK 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Is this SSD okay, or would you guys recommend a better one? I know prices are sky high but I can't pass up the performance gains these things offer! So what do you guys think? Am I missing anything? Am I completely off on something? Thanks a lot - hoping to hear back quick!

I would switch out the PSU for a higher quality unit. The PSU you listed is also deactivated.
Newegg.com - CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply Or for another $15... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...9021&Tpk=750tx You might want this one anyway since you are getting an overclocked 580. You would have a little headroom. You will want low profile RAM for that aftermarket heat sink. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820233186 That is going to be a really fast gamer with that graphics card.

My current psu is not high quality enough? Is there a reason or is just that it's older and not as efficient? I posted a thread a couple weeks ago asking if I could re-use my psu with an i52500k and gtx 570 or 580 and I believe it was glc that said it would be fine. Now fine doesn't mean good, it just means it'll work I suppose. If you recommend switching it out though I will do so
 Alright I'll go with the low profile RAM as well. Any other suggestions? |

Sorry, I didn't notice you already have the PSU. It should be good enough.
Wait for glc's or jdeb's advice on a SSD. They both build computers professionally. I don't know SSD's well enough. Last edited by David M; 11-23-2011 at 07:44 PM. |

The best performing SSD's are the Kingston HyperX. The most reliable are the Intels.
