Building a pc - NEED HELP

[DrQuestion]

Hey I have one question(or more, I dont know). Will this components be compatible if not recommend me something else, it cant be costing more than the price I type! This is what I was thinking to build! One more question- can you recommend me a not to expensive cooling fan (for processor) which I can OverClock a little bit with!? Please the fan must be from AMAZON!

Here are the specs:
Chassis: Cooler Master HAF ATX Mid Tower Case 922 - 89$

Motherboard: Asus P9X79 DELUXE Intel X79 So.2011 Quad Channel DDR3 ATX Retail - 380

Processor: Intel Core i7 3820 4x 3.60GHz So.2011 WOF – 310$

GPU: 3072MB PowerColor Radeon HD 7950 – 430$

RAM: Corsair 16GB XMS3 (2x 8GB) DDR3 1600Mhz - 110$

PSU: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 -105$

Optical Drive: Asus 24xDVD-RW Serial ATA Internal OEM Drive – 22$

Total: 1448$

If you don't need a case quite that big, I can't recommend the HAF912 enough....plus it's cheaper.

Cooler Master also makes a Hyper 212 Evo, I think, that should allow you plenty of OC'ing headroom. I have two of the Hyper 212+ models, and they are quiet and perform very well....and are very cheap.

Samsung optical drives work very well and are just as cheap. I'm not a big Asus guy, so maybe that's just an opinion.

I don't see any hard drives listed. Did you forget or do you already have hard drives?

Looks like you have a relatively high budget. I'd certainly get an SSD for the operating system and programs and a standard HDD for data. SSD: Intel or Samsung; HDD: Western Digital or Samsung.

You likely won't need 16 GB of RAM, but you may have an unusual circumstance requiring that much?

Is there a particular reason you chose that motherboard?? Do you need 8 RAM slots?

HDD

Sorry I have HDD but not in the list - forgot to copy

 

[DrQuestion]

Components!

Can you please give me a suggestion for CPU, GPU, HDD, PSU, RAM, Optical Drive?
(from amazon(I live in norway and amazon ships there))

 

[DrQuestion]

Its gonna be REALLY GAMING PC! - max 1425$(20$ more is no big deal)

What you have chosen looks pretty good, excluding hard drives.

Post a link to the Amazon site from which you will purchase.

The Coolermaster Hyper 212 that Deacon mentioned is a good choice.

I'd definitely get an SSD.

 

[DrQuestion]

Can you please link me all new specs of what u recommend? like CPU,PSU,RAM etc..?

 

[ignatzatsonic]

Post a link to the site from which you will buy.

How many hard drives will you need?

If the site is not in English, I can't help much.

 

[DrQuestion]

In the start one! - I wanna buy from amazon.com

 

[ignatzatsonic]

Amazon US??

Amazon UK

Amazon Mars?

I wouldn't recommend more than 8GB of RAM, like others have said unless you have a specific reason to run that much RAM, it likely won't provide any performance improvement.

The motherboard seems pretty extreme as well. You might be able to cut that back quite a bit and make budget room for an SSD which would certainly provide noticeable performance differences.

If your goal is a gaming PC, I'm not sure that you want a Socket 2011 system. The main advantage that it offers over the Socket 1155 boards is the extra PCI-E capacity. That's mainly useful if you want to use multiple graphics cards in SLI or Crossfire. I'm not sure how helpful it would be with only 2 cards, especially if they are PCI-E 3 cards, like the 7950. (PCI-E 3.0 X8 is supposed to have roughly the same bandwidth as PCI-E 2.1 X16.)

If you want to go bleeding edge, wait for the Ivy Bridge CPUs, and a Z77 motherboard. The gain over Sandy Bridge/Z68 may not be large, but I expect that the price premium won't be large either. I don't know what the numbers will be like on the Ivy Bridge CPUs, but in Sandy Bridge the recommended CPU is an I5-2500k. It lacks hyperthreading, but that may not hurt most games. It costs $100US less than the I7-2600k.

For everyday use, having a 120GB SSD for the operating system is one of the best investments. It won't do much for gaming, but it'll make general operation of the PC more responsive.

You don't list an OS. If you are using 16GB of RAM or less, Windows 7 Home premium is adequate. (More than 16 GB, you'd need Professional or Ultimate.)

sry I was slow responding it is amazon.com (us)

How many hard drives do you need?

Like Bob said, the Ivy Bridge processors will start to show up at the end of this month. Your budget may be large enough to afford Ivy Bridge, but you probably wouldn't notice the difference on a gaming PC.

I'd probably decide on the case, hard drives, video card, and RAM now, and then wait for maybe 3 weeks and look at Ivy Bridge and choose a processor and motherboard at that time.

Here are 2 good SSDs:

Amazon.com: Intel 320 Series 80 GB SATA 2.5-Inch Solid-State Drive Brown Box: Computers & Accessories

Amazon.com: Samsung 830 - Series MZ-7PC128D/AM 128 GB 2.5 Inch SATA III MLC Internal SSD Desktop Kit with Norton Ghost 15: Computers & Accessories



Cases are pretty much personal preference. You may like flashing lights and a window in the side panel, or not. You may not care about the noise level--or that may mean a lot to you. For gaming performance, it won't matter much. Pick out one you like. Antec and Coolermaster are good brands. I'd get a standard mid-tower ATX case.

I don't know much about video cards.

If you don't want to wait and want to buy tomorrow, I'd look at an Intel 2500K/2600K/2700K processor and a mid level Asus or Gigabyte Socket 1155 motherboard, with 8 GB of 1.5 volt DDR 3 RAM from a company like Corsair, G Skill or Crucial.

Ok ty ever so much
