Almost done with my build...

Just ordered another portion of my new PC... Decided on these for my mobo and processor


Mobo - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293
Processor - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072



Almost went with the i5 3570k, but I've read you won't see a huge difference in gaming and the 2500k has better OC ability. Also snagged one of those H60 coolers, can't wait to try it out.

Next up on the list is the video card and an SSD, then the build is done. I'm not sure if I should try and get a 660 or spend a bit more and get the 670... and for an SSD, I was looking at this - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148448

I'll actually have the new rig up and running once these parts get here, only I'll be using my old video card until I finally decide what route I'm going there. So yeah, the final setup is thus...

Case - HAF X
Processor - i5 2500k @ 3.3GHz
RAM - 8 gigs of who gives a shit
Video Card - GTX 660/670
Hard drive - Standard 1TB HDD and a 128 gig SSD
Power Supply - Corsair TX850

Thoughts?

ante we have the same case <3

Case is a little expensive for my liking, everything else is great though. I would suggest a 670 (considering the 660's bad AA performance) and the 3570K because even though the 2500k can overclock higher, the 3570k is the better cpu for only $10 more. SSD is good, though I would suggest waiting for a sale to buy one.

Looks good man.

Im thinking of upgrading to the 660 ti over my 580.

The case is great! I could probably fit my old one inside it, literally. I'm not too worried about the CPU and besides, already ordered it . And I'm pretty set on an SSD and that one I linked is already $30 off. I've done some research on it too and it's really one of the best for its price.

I like the HAF line

I have a HAF case

Plague, you and me are all HAF brothers.

I got a Large tier case.

I need the extra room. Plus my current 580 has heat issues, so I need great airflow.

I have this one- http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Advanced-SuperSpeed-RC-932-KKN5-GP/dp/B001EPUQAE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345079120&sr=8-1&keywords=haf+932

Yeah the M4 line is good, though the 128GB version was only $80 3 days ago, that is why I mentioned price. Also if you already ordered it everything, why ask us .

I ask what you guys think because it makes discussion Tom! MOAR POSTS. I have not, however, ordered the SSD yet and didn't realize it would get that cheap. Maybe I'll hold out for another sale.
