Guidance for assembling new PC
Hello! I am assembling a new PC and needed some expert opinion on it. Basically i want to use this as a gaming pc and hence want it to be a good performance machine. i have been researching on the internet for quite some time now but given my knowledge about hardware, it is really difficult for me to put the right parts in it. From my research, i have narrowed it down to the following hardware:
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 Motherboard
Processor: AMD 3.3 GHz AM3+ FX6100 Processor
RAM: 2 G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 4 GB PC RAM
GPU: Zotac NVIDIA Geforce GTX 550 Ti 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card (Or) Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6790 1 GB GDDR5 Graphic card
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDD Internal Hard Drive (ST31000524AS)
Cabinet: Cooler Master Elite 311 Plus Mid Tower Cabinet
PSU: Seasonic S12II-520 520 Watts PSU
Please suggest if this is a good package or not in your opinion. Also please suggest any modifications to optimize the entire package. Thank You.
