Just looking before I leap...new PC final thoughts.
I've ordered the monitor (NEC EA232WMi) which is scheduled to arrive today & think I have selected a good case, MB, RAM, power supply & CPU. I thought I'd ask those with more experience for their commits as I've never built a PC before.
· Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz
· Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3-B3
· Corsair 8Gb (2x4Gb) 240-Pin DDR3 1600 Cas Latency:8
· Antec Sonata Elite Black Case
· Antec TruePower Supply TP-650 650W
The HDDs & Graphic card are carried over from the old PC. I don't know if I need overclock hardware but at least I could if I wanted to. As for RAM, I'm not sure what Cas Latency:8 means. I did want only 2 for now so I could expand to 16GB later if needed. Antec Sonata Elite case is said to be quieter than most cases.
Please post your thoughts; especially dos & don'ts.
