I decided to build my first gaming pc , I already did my research and came up with this set up:
case:
Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced Blue Edition - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior ( definitely want to get this I like the design and it has a lot of space for future upgrades and fans for better cooling)
GPU:
ASUS GTXTITAN-6GD5 GeForce GTX TITAN 6GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
OR
EVGA 03G-P4-2883-KR GeForce GTX 780 Ti Superclocked 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card ( I read online that this new version of the GTX 780 performs better on games than the titan)
power supply :
PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk III Series 750W Modular Power Supply features 100% Nippon Chemi-Con Capacitors compatible with Intel Haswell Core i3/i5/i7 and AMD Phenom ( I picked this based on its high rating and reviews from newegg.com , Do I need more power? )
RAM:
G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... )
OR
Kingston HyperX Beast 16 GB Kit (2x8 GB) 2400MHz DDR3 PC3-19200 Non-ECC CL11 DIMM XMP ( will it benefit me to have more MHz than GB?)
CPU:
Intel Core i7-4930K Ivy Bridge-E 3.4GHz LGA 2011 130W Six-Core Desktop Processor (definitely want to get this , it's the most powerful processor that I can afford )
CPU cooler:
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm PWM Fan ( I picked this based on its high rating and reviews from newegg.com , do you recommend a different one? I really don't want to get into liquid cooling since I don't want to run any risks of leaks
motherboard:
ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition LGA 2011 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard ( definitely want to get this , it just got released today so here is the link if you want to read the specs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... )
storage # 1 :
Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD5000HHTZ 500GB 10000 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive - OEM ( definitely want to get this , it has a high rating and good reviews from newegg.com and also runs at 10000 RPM which based on reviews makes it a really fast hard drive, which storage should I install my games and OS on? in order for them to load faster?
storage # 2:
SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD256BW 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (
OR
SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW 2.5" 250GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) ( the PRO version it's a little more expensive than the EVO version , is it worth the extra bucks ? here is the link if you want to read the specs : EVO http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2W0... , PRO http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... )
optical drive:
ASUS Black 18X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA DVD-ROM Drive Model DVD-E818AAT (DVD-E818AAT/BLK/B/GE) - OEM ( I picked the cheapest one because I just want a basic optical drive that can read DVDs so I can install games and software)
OS:
windows 8 or 7 ( which one is the best for gaming? )
I want to know if all the parts are compatible and can work together , I want a computer that can handle the newest AAA games on ultra high settings as well as code compiling , video editing and graphic design , please don't tell me to change the parts that I said I "definitely" want to get unless there is a compatibility issue with some other component, I know you're all trying to help me save money but I have a $3250 budget for this pc and want to get the best of the best that $3250 can buy , I really don't want to overclock my cpu or gpu too much so this is the order of my priorities that I'll be using this pc for: code compiling , gaming , video and image editing, one last thing I've been watching a lot of videos on youtube about how to build computers and I feel that I can do it now but I don't know if I should since I've never done it before and I don't want to break anything , do you think I should do it myself or bring it to a computer technician? did your pc work the first time you built yours?. thanks in advance for taking the time to read such a long post and for all your answers
