Hi I am trying to build a gaming PC for the first time and I have a VERY HARD time choosing some of the conponent...I would thanks in advance for any input!
So MSI GTX 660 Ti N660 definitely has a very good reputation.
And the newEVGA 02G-P4-3664-KR GeForce GTX 660 Ti has a little more in terms of Core Clock and boost clock.
But there are any reviews or articles about EVGA 3664-KR and MSI GTX 660 Ti N660 seems to have more features and better built (from product description, such as Dust Removal technology, quieter, MILITARY CLASS III etc.)
Here is what I ordered already so far:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
RAM:Patriot Viper 3 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) (This is free)
POWER: Rosewill CAPSTONE Series CAPSTONE-450-M 450W ATX12V v2.31 & EPS12V v2.92 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
SSD: SAMSUNG 830 Series 2.5-Inch 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7PC128B/WW
DVD: Samsung SH-222BB/BEBE 22X SATA DVDRW Internal Drive (Black), Bulk without Software
So far: $524.21
Not order yet:
Hard drive: Not sure if I should get "Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache Internal Desktop Hard Drive" at $90 because my friend said this price I can get a 2 TB.
Case: Any suggestion? So far I have these in mind but no idea which one should I choose Antec One Computer Case $44.99, Antec Three Hundred Two Gaming Case $54.98, and NZXT Technologies TEMPEST 210 $54.99. All any other better than these? I just need USB 3.0. And I wonder why there is no integrated SD card slot for cases...my old lenovo desktop case has one...
Monitor: I am waiting for a deal for a good 27'' screen (should be less than $300). ASUS has one for $306 while Viewsonic has one for $250, but I am not sure I should go with that brand.
Keyboard and mouse: I haven't start looking yet. I just need a cheap but good quality set. Any suggestion is welcome.
Sorry I posted more question then intended....The graphic card is the main question and I will appreciate your help with other question as well!
Thanks!
