PC Build Help

hey guys, i was planning on building a computer, and this is what i have so far:

i realise i still need a disk drive, a hard drive, a graphics card, and a case. i wanted someone to check if what i picked is compatible (im pretty sure it is though) and any suggestions for what to use for a graphics card would be nice
(i dont know much about which graphics cards are good and which arent)

Im pretty new at building computers, so if i forgot something, let me know please

If you are going with a z77 chipset get a ivy bridge processor, so either a 3570k or a 3770k.
What is your budget for the rest of the build?

 

[ninja_mango_cat]

well, i figure i may have about a $1800 budget total

Give me about an hour to get home from work and on my desktop and ill build you an amazing computer for that much. Does that include a monitor?

 

[ninja_mango_cat]

no, i dont need a monitor, i have one already as well as keyboard,mouse,speakers,microphone,etcetera.
btw thanks

CPU- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504

Motherboard is an option between 2, depending on what you want to do in the future.
If you will never get more than one video card, get this-

If you plan to sli the video cards, get this-

WOW thanks, that really helped me! that covers everything i wanted! also, i see why you picked that case, so many fans and it looks awesome too! Thanks a bunch for the help.
also, i could get this:

with the non sli compatible board and still be under my budget. its an i7 rather than the i5 you suggested and it clocks faster (not much faster,but i want to get the most i can without exceeding the budget)
and with the ssd (i dont know much about ssd either) i presume i am going to be installing the OS on the ssd correct?

I was going to choose that cpu, but I decided if you were going to go sli one day, you could get the 3570K and still be under your budget. Both cpus will work fantastically. Also, yes, the SSD is for installing you OS, or even a game or two, seeing as it is a larger SSD.

 

[ninja_mango_cat]

well, maybe if i can pick up some extra work, i can get both the sli compatible mobo and the i7 cpu, which would be even better!

 

[justinkiller]

That would be the best option lol, because both would suck and be expensive to upgrade at a later date, might as well buy every piece once then buy less then keep buying up.
