Building first PC how are the specs and the compatibility.

What PSU would you recomend and GPU that would stay on pair for 4 years

660Ti is better than the 7870 but I was just suggesting it in case you needed to cut money out of the budget somewhere. The MOBO and PSU are not places to cut corners and the 660Ti seems to be priced around the same as a 7950

AMD GPU better for price

This PSU should be fine for your needs, more than enough actually

RAIDMAX Typhoon ATX-312WS Black / Silver SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case good case for 7870

Something like this fits in your budget

When you purchase all of the parts from one retailer, do they all usually come together in the same box.

 

[Crazye2000]

thanks

I guess it would depend on the retailer/warehouse location. If the parts ship from different locations then no. I have had newegg boxes come in with several components in each box and then I have had orders where every component came in its own box.

 

[Crazye2000]

Also you added the CPU cooler that for overclocking? The one that comes with the CPU isn't that efficient?

 

[Crazye2000]

would you prefer NCIX or Newegg

 

[LoganG]

What resolutions are you planning on gaming at? 1920x1080?

 

[LoganG]

I prefer whichever store is cheaper, I have had good experiences with both. I included the CPU cooler because the stock one isn't very good at all. Also here is a review of a 7870 which may give you an idea of the performance you would get with the GPU http://www.hardocp.com/article/2012...0_oc_edition_video_card_review/1#.UUVxRle1_To

 

[Crazye2000]

Alright thanks

 

[Crazye2000]

1920x1080 monitor I have only supports that resolution.

Being able to run CF 7970s would be great, but unfortunately many budgets do not allow it, mine included
