Hey guys, Im thinking about building a new gaming pc and I'm a little overwhelmed by all the parts and combinations available. I want to build a powerful but gaming rig so I can play bf3 at max settings if possible. I'm also trying to keep cost low but keep quality.
Here's what I came up with so far:
Corsair Special Edition White Graphite Series 600T Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-3662-KR GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
LEPA B650-SA 650W SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
Mushkin Enhanced Redline 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model 997008
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
CORSAIR CWCH60 Hydro Series H60 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Im confused about the i5 and the i7 processors paired with these components. What would be more cost effective to get without losing performance? Is there a cheaper/better mobo? Is the graphics card good enough? Am I missing anything? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks guys!
