1100$ Computer Budget - First build too

[Hash]

Okay hai! I'm looking to purchase a computer for 1100$ I'm willing to build it (I've seen guides and pictures on how to do it and it doesn't look hard).

I'll be using this Computer just for WoW on Ultra 25 mans.

I do not need a monitor, mouse, headset or speakers. But I do need a NON wireless keyboard.

I'll only order from Newegg aswell. Thank you!

1. Seagate makes absolutely awful drives with DOA rates and failure rates through the roof.
2. Corsair CX series PSUs are also well below average with tons of DOAs and poor reliability.
3. The 560 ti is old and outclassed by the 7850 for the same price.
4. That CPU cooler isn't compatible with the processor you linked. It's designed for SB-E.

Not saying any of this to put you down or anything, just friendly FYI info.

While im not sure about the Corsair PSU i have never had any misfortune with seagate products i have always had bad luck with western digital. as for the H612 i have the H612 with 3570k on my Z77sabertooth. the H612 fits a lot of socket types.

I want a solid computer that will last me years (I'm looking for help, but could you please at least take your time? I don't want to waste money)

That's about the best I can come up with in the budget.

Power Supply: XFX 550W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($64.99 @ Newegg) is not enough this current seting required 570W without any OC a 750W will be perfect if he dont plan to add a second GPU in the futur

1. The i5 3570k consumes at most 77w under full load.
2. The 7950 under full load consumes 150w, 180~ with factory OC'd cards.
3. Motherboard, HDD, and RAM will consume around 50w.

550w is actually massive overkill, the system could easily run on a 350w PSU.

Hey there, thanks for listing the parts. Do I need a SSD? I need a windows 7 too so I was just wondering if I could swap out the ssd for the os

The SSD was more of a luxury for faster boots and load times. You're not going to lose any actual FPS in games if you swap it out.

Does he really need a 7950? Even though SSDs are luxury, but its just something that is pretty awesome to have. Can't he get by with something like 7850 or 7870?

Okay I'm ready to buy by tonight! Are all those parts compatible and somewhat user friendly to install?

[glo]

Everything is pretty standard, nothing special about installing those selected parts compared to others. If you follow any up to date guide on building you'll be fine.

Well, if he ever chooses to actually play any other game, his system will be able to do so at high settings. The 7850 and 7870 are good cards, don't get me wrong, but the 7950 (even if he only plays WoW) will last significantly longer in terms of being viable for WoW or any other MMO OP switches to.

He can easily add an SSD later when he has the money. Although if he plans to only use the computer only to play wow, a 7950 might be an overkill. Personally I just think it's less of a hassle to add an SSD to a build later than upgrade the GPU later, but that may just be me.

Anyway glo's build has both SSD and a 7950 and stays pretty much within the budget (is a very good build too imo) so I don't really see an issue here.
