Hey all,
Off the bat, i'm easily confused when it comes to knowing exactly what to look for. But, having glossed over a good few forum threads, and some suggestions, and 1 or 2 "aahhhh just wing it" ideas, i've put this together, and could do with any feedback, even critical stuff, and improvement ideas.
Not able to post links, so just gonna copy the products straight from Aria, where i've currently got them wish listed. Sorry bout that
Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced Black Full Tower Windowed Chassis w/ USB3.0
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail
750W Corsair TX750 V2 ATX2.3 SLI/Crossfire Compliant Power Supply

Main questions are:
Is this all compatible? I'm looking to make sure I can chuck WoW, TOR, D3, and GW2 to pretty high settings and still keep a good frame rate. Am I just overcompensating for everything or does it seem ideal for the next year or so?
DVD drive. Is my current tsstcorp CDDVDW SH-S202N ATA Device alright to use with this rig, or would I need to buy a new one?
CPU cooler. Is that needed, and would I be better off looking into a water cooling device? Head is a bit fuzzled from a friends preference, so I need some clarification.
Current price seems to be around £721, and i'd prefer not to go too much over that. £750 max, not including the OS, or keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers. They're sorted already.
Any help and information would be awesome, and greatly appreciated. Thanks
