building a PC

[mixit5]

ok so i see on mmo-champion there are things like unicorn and dolphin which are basically parts to a PC...

is that like all i need to build a pc?

so like at the moment the table is on http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/?page=8

if i get the parts that are on the table for like unicorn i can just build it instal drivers and thats it? or do i need to like bother around with other things aswel?

Except for the OS (e.g. Windows 7) and a screw driver it seems to be complete. Although not necessary you could get some extra fans to replace the included fans. Those are usually quite crappy.

post up what your gonna use the puter for, programs you run and that kinda stuff. That build could be tweaked to save you some money... for example: if you only plan to game and do no editing type stuff then you will not use the I7, Save a hundo by going with the I5 3570k. Also, i personally feel that the case is overpriced... there are a lot of decent cases for a hundred bucks or less so there is another 70 bucks right off the top. that 170 in savings can go in your pocket or be used to upgrade other parts like a bigger SSD, better grx card ect....

for what i plan on using my PC for would be basically gaming, mainly cod and wow, editing videos for my youtube channel, working for school and also live streaming...

about the cases... how am i ment to know if the shiz i buy fits in the case i buy?

Any Mid Size tower should fit all of these components... for example the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811146087 for 99 bucks holds everything in your list with no problem at all. any of the towers in that size range will work.

Since your gonna mostly game then u DEF wanna go with the I5 3570k it will run those games for you and can be overclocked for a little extra boost if you decide to do that. I am sure others will make suggestions as well but this would be a damn solid build.

Very solid build, though if you wanted to save a little you could change the CPU Cooler to a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo+ for under $30. The one listed is one of the best air coolers on the market though and will keep you a few degrees cooler. However, depending on how heavy you plan to OC, the 212 is a good option for lower clocks in the 4.2-4.5 range, though 4.5 is pushing it.

Also, that PSU is complete overkill you could save some money there as well, though I do not have any specific recommendations, someone else will I am sure.

With the money you save on those parts you could opt for a larger SSD.
