I will be building my first computer, and would like a little help. I've chosen the majority of the components, but suggestions would be welcome. Basically, I just want to make sure everything is compatible with one another. If any of the components could be substituted for a cheaper alternative with similar performance and reliability, I would be happy to hear what you have to say. I would like mild overclocking to be possible while staying cool and stable. Anyway, here's my setup thus far:
CPU Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115215 Motherboard ASUS P7P55D EVO LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131407 RAM G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231277 HDD 3.5" 500GB drive will be taken from my external hdd Optical Drive External drive which I already own CPU Heatsink ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 92mm Fluid Dynamic CPU Cooler - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835186134 Video Card ASUS EN9600GSO/DI/512MD3/V2 GeForce 9600 GSO 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121320 Power Supply OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ500MXSP 500W ATX12V V2.2 / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply compatible with core i7 - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341016 Case RAIDMAX Hurricane ATX-248WB Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811156237 Monitor Acer X193W+BD Black 19" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 2000:1 (ACM) - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824009127 Thermal Compound Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound - OEM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-007-_-Product Two things I'm unsure about are the power supply and the motherboard/case. I'm not sure how to properly pick a power supply, and it seems from the picures that the motherboard plugs do not properly match up with the back of the case (or any case I've seen for that matter). Also, let me know if I'm missing any equipment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
