Gaming PC looking for advice
Posted: Sun Sep 23, 2012 2:51 pm
Hello , Im a first time poster .
Looking to build a ''semi quiet '' Gaming/general use computer .
so far ive selected :
1. Fractal Desing R4
2. Intel i5 3570k (will overclock)
3. Gigabyte zzzx-ud3h (not sure about this, maybe asus v-pro , better fan control ? )
4. Noctua u12p-se2 or D14 (Im under the impresssion that the u12p is quietter , I could be wrong) open to other sugestions.
5. ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II ( might be overkill using a 1680*1050 screen ) I play FPS games, so more fps is always good. Is directcu II the quietest of stock coolers for this card ? MSI PE ? Might also upgrade the screen ...
6. Crucial m4 or samsung 830 SSD (seems like a toss up ) 256gb
7. Seasonic x760 or x660 (overclock and probably SLI when the GPU price goes down) still to much power maybe ?
8. Weastern Digital caviar blue or green ( to store Flac and Mp3 . videos and other files....) how slow is the green vs blue ?
9. G.skill ripjaw 2x4 8gb ( height problem with CPU cooler ? )
10 Asus DRW DVD ...
Alot of questioning stil on my selections . but this is about the level of performance im looking for.
I will be doing some research and reading reviews ect... Any Comments and Recommendations would be verry welcomed
Thanks.
