Gaming Build

Ok so I took some advice from you guys and switched a few things around and added in an SSD, and lowered the price! I think this is the build I'm gonna go with:

The only things I'm weary about are the PSU and heatsink.. I'm not sure how to judge if what I have are good or not. Other than that I think I'm set! What are your opinions on my changes?

 

Save $100 and go with the 3570K, you will get MAYBE 1 FPS difference with the 3770K. Also, 8 GB of ram is more than enough for gaming. You could get a $50 case that is exactly as good, and with the savings, put a total of $270 more into a better GPU, which will give you better FPS's.

Or not. You decide.

 

You could save over $100 with this cpu cooler, depending on price in your country

i was thinking that about the processor too....always find it hard to not go with highest cpu myself tho... the graphics is better with the 3770k i know, and the 3570k may not be 3d enabled?? i dunno, just a thought. if u want to expand later (add more gpu's via crossfire or w/e) you will need the more expensive mother board....

instead of a heat sink u could try case fans with something to control the speeds?? what exactly is a "heatsink" vs. a case fan??

and another thing, i try to steer away from gskill, they are the only ram that says "may not be compatible with other kits, even same model". therefore i myself am trying out Geil, they have heatsink and heat spreader....latency is decent, and lifetime warranty.

that case seems like a waste of money?? good case it seems but spendy.... lowest price with good ventilation, usb 3.0 and full size im guessing?

 

Meh, get another cheaper case(Stick with yours if you want the best) and get the Galaxy SOC GTX 680..
