    Need help for my first PC build (Gaming/streaming)

    Hey guys this is the first time i build a pc from scratch (only changed a couple of pieces in my old one),
    i'll be using this PC for streaming while playing WoW on High/Ultra settings in 25 man raid with stable 60 FPS.

    I don't need any peripherals or OS.

    Resolution: Right now i have an old monitor that can handle only 1280x1024, i'll upgrade it in a couple of months.

    Country: Italy

    Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon.it

    Overclocking: I don't plan to overclock.

    Budget: 1150-1200 euros.

    I already found some pieces that i think will suits my needs, feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

    CPU: amazon.it/Intel-BX80637I73770-Core-i7-3770/dp/B007RMH1WY/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1350140286&sr=1-3

    Hard Disk: amazon.it/Western-Digital-WD1002FAEX-Hard-Disk-interno/dp/B0036Q7MV0/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1350773060&sr=1-1 (Not sure)

    SSD: amazon.it/Samsung-SSD-SATA-Versione-Desktop/dp/B005OK6VTA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1350765576&sr=8-3 (Not sure)

    GPU: amazon.it/Gigabyte-GV-N660OC-2GD-Scheda-video/dp/B0099AOAUI/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1350771431&sr=1-7
    or
    amazon.it/ASUS-GTX660-DC2-2GD5/dp/B0098VKIRM/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1350771431&sr=1-8
    (not sure witch one is better)

    For the other pieces i have no clue what to take.

    I don't stream, but a i5-3570 would be plenty for wow. Your HDD and SSD are fine, the GTX660 cant comment on. You could do a GTX 560 TI 2GB and still get over 60FPS in wow at 1080p. Can't say if you will for 25 man raids, I haven't played in over a year now so not sure...

    Besides what you have listed you would need a case, stock cooler for the CPU would be fine since you don't plan on overclocking. Otherwise take a look at Cooler Master 212 Evo. Did you pick out a motherboard yet? Take a look at http://www.amazon.it/Asrock-Z77-EXTR...ef=pd_sim_ce_3

    You will also need ram - 8GB is plenty http://www.amazon.it/Corsair-Vengean...0832457&sr=1-8 and a powersupply, something around 650W would be more then enough, Corsair or Seasonic 80Gold http://www.amazon.it/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_...lus+gold&ajr=0

    CPU: http://www.amazon.it/Intel%C2%AE-Cor...0835195&sr=8-1 E208
    GPU: http://www.amazon.it/ASUS-GTX660-TI-...0835295&sr=1-3 E287
    Motherboard: http://www.amazon.it/MSI-Z77A-G45-Sc...0835411&sr=1-1 E110
    SSD: http://www.amazon.it/Samsung-SSD-SAT...0765576&sr=8-3 E102
    HDD: http://www.amazon.it/Western-Digital...0835506&sr=1-1 E70. Honestly for storage all you need is a blue rated drive
    RAM: http://www.amazon.it/Corsair-240-pin...0835547&sr=1-1 E48
    PSU: http://www.amazon.it/Corsair-CMPSU-6...0835576&sr=1-1 E89
    Case: http://www.amazon.it/Cooler-Master-C...835701&sr=1-14 E136. Pricy but if you get it you'll never need a new case again tbh.

    That's a total of E1050. I'd recommend just getting a H100 as well in case you wish to OC later on, OCing on boards these days is easy tbh.

    @ UncleSilas's build, great build overall with the exception of the RAM - grab the Low Profile (LP) edition of Corsair Vengeance, those tall heatsinks are very flimsy and pointless.

    Also he doesn't need an H100 for OC'ing, way overkill and as he said he's not even planning to OC. It's good to still recommend a K series (because 1 year down the road he WILL want to OC) and a Xigmatek Gaia / Hyper 212 or any Noctua cooler will do the job.

    He still has like E200 in the build and Ivy bridge is quite toasty for OCing in comparison to Sandy. Plus the case is huge, plenty of room for push/pull with high static pressure fans on low RPM, making a nice silent build overall :P

    But the H100 is expensive. A Xigmatek Gaia/Hyper 212 is more than sufficient for light overclocking, especially since the OP wasn't planning on it anyways.

    Are you sure about silent? Frostytech says the H100 is exceptionally noisy even at low speeds 43.6 dB. http://frostytech.com/articleview.cf...id=2665&page=5

    It's loud as fuck with stock fans, no doubt. If you don't have a fan controller the stock Corsair fans make old wind-turbine GPU's sound quiet in comparison.

    Which is one of the reasons why the H100 is even more expensive than it looks, because you need to spend another ~$20 on a pair of fans (or $30-40 for top-tier fans) on keeping that thing quiet. I would know since that's exactly what I did with my H100

    Can you recommend some static pressure 140 mm fans? Preferably high performance yet inexpensive.

    Rarely do good high static fans come cheaply if you want ones that aren't noisy as hell. Corsair have some nice news ones that are apparently decent value and have good reviews.

    Thing is, a pc is one, but do you have the internet connection to stream in high quality?

    Thanks for all your replies, i will order the pieces in a couple of days.

    That's what i'll buy:
    CPU: amazon.it/gp/product/B007RMH1WY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_8?ie=UTF8&smid=A11IL2PNWYJU7H
    Motherboard: amazon.it/gp/product/B007KTY4A6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&smid=A11IL2PNWYJU7H
    GPU: amazon.it/gp/product/B008X36NHA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?ie=UTF8&smid=A11IL2PNWYJU7H
    HDD: amazon.it/gp/product/B0036Q7MV0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_9?ie=UTF8&smid=A2D7NX4BNCP0J6
    SSD: amazon.it/gp/product/B005OK6VTA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&smid=A11IL2PNWYJU7H
    RAM: amazon.it/gp/product/B004CRSM4I/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A11IL2PNWYJU7H
    PSU: amazon.it/gp/product/B004NRVXK2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?ie=UTF8&smid=A11IL2PNWYJU7H
    Case: amazon.it/gp/product/B0056AFBB2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&smid=A11IL2PNWYJU7H

    Will everything fit in that case ? and is good that motherboard for the i7 3770 ?
    Thanks again for all the help you all gave me

    Edit: If in the future i will get a video capture card, will it fit in that motherboard/case ?

    Oh and I need a dvd drive too can someone suggest me a cheap one ?
