Hi guys, I'm planning on building my first PC in the next month or two and I was planning on using Chaud's Dolphin build from march as my starting point.
Case: NZXT Source 210 - $43
Power Supply: EVGA 600B - $63
CPU: AMD FX-8320 - $140
Heatsink: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - $33
Motherboard: ASUS M5A99FX PRO - $115
Memory: 8GB G.Skill DDR3 1600 - $84
GPU: Gigabyte R9 270 or GTX 660 - $230 / $190
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB - $99
DVD: Asus 24X SATA DVD+/-RW - $22
Price total = $705-$745
Sorry I can't link to any parts, I used to have an account but haven't posted in years and don't remember any of the information for it.
My Questions:
Do I need the heat sink? Will the stock fan not work for this build? I don't feel comfortable trying to overclock at this point.
What would be compatible memory that could boost me to 16 gigs or RAM?
What sort of FPS could I expect in WoW? I realize unless someone has the exact same PC they can't give me a precise answer but just a general idea would be amazing.
Is this going to be easy to build? :P Seeing as this is my first build maybe a case that's easy to work in would be better or maybe some of these components are particularly tricky to deal with. Any information here would be wonderful.
I'm going to need a WiFi adapter so what's a good one?
