Making a PCMaking a me a desktop for when I go off to college. Here's what I got so far. Processor: Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I53570K - Newegg.com Motherboard: ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - Newegg.com Graphics: ASUS HD7770-2GD5 Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 2GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - Newegg.com Monitor: ASUS VE247H Black 23.6" Full HD HDMI LCD Monitor w/Speakers - Newegg.com I know I'm missing pieces, this is just what I'm looking at now. Thoughts? Good? Bad?
Looks good, but i think if you have a good air cooling system with some fans in the case it should be enough too I currently use the i7 3770k and a geforce gtx 670 only with some fans and i always have it below 50° also when im playing bf3 on ultra etc
It's awesome so far. Don't go out buying 32 gigs of ram. if you have 8 gigs of ram you'll do just fine

Yeah the build looks great and future proof for the next year or so depending on what comes out. ---------- Post added at 08:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 AM ---------- Originally Posted by Swiftdude I was feeling 6 or 8. 6 is what the peak will be at, if you want extra space just in case go for 8. but if you're going more than 1 monitor I'd look for 12.
