OK case wise I'm going to recommend a Carbide 300R from Corsair or a Define R3 or R4 from Fractal.

Graphics card wise, the 7770 is kinda weak - sorry. I'd go 7850.

Let me know what site you are buying this from and I'll have a look and see if there are any better 7850s on there for you.

Will the VGA adoptor still work though? They dont have the hyper 212 plus here but I am thinking of getting the Arctic Cooling Freezer 13, seems pretty good and is 35 dollars, seems good to me...

Which card you are buying, if you have a mini-display port on it then use a mini-display port to VGA converter. Still I would recommend a good 1080p monitor.

Ok so ill get the Corsair Carbide 300R (unwindowed) I like the simplicity and not too expensive :p. The only thing is that it only has one fan at the rear, should I get 2 140 mm fans for the front? One of them is like 13 dollars. What are the usb 3.0 front panel connectors called on the Mobo. In this case should I mount my psu with the fan up or with the fan going down into the case, is that even possible with this case?

What do you guys think of the Arctic Freezer 13?

The site which I am buying from is:

https://www.digitec.ch/ (Keep in mind the costs are in francs and not in US Dollars)

Just choose english at the top and then go to PC Components and then video cards. Thanks for the help

It is a decent little card.

On video cards, basically get the highest performing on you can in your budget.

A 3rd gen i5 will give you plenty of power. You don't really need to get an i7, I would focus more on the GPU and spend the money you would spend on the i7 and get an SSD.

i'm not much of a gaming wizz but i would start off by finding out which game has the highest requirements on the market and see what you need to get in order to play it without problems...then just build it up from there.

Yah, I am not sure if I am going to get the Asus after all, maybe I will depends on the money as I am not a hardcore gamer and I should be able to play league of legends on very high with a 7770, but if I have the money ill go with the asus card

Ok I need one final question, I was recomended aGigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H and I was womderiong what is the difference between that board and a Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H, thanks for the help, and also the Arctic Freezer as a CPU cooler.

The GA-Z77X-D3H has two PCI 2.0 slots, one at 8x, one at 4x and more SATA ports and nice black finish, for 10$ more this is good enough, where as the GA-Z77-D3H has only one PCI 2.0 x4 slot. Rest all features are same.

Also get the 7850 rather than 7770, would be future proof even though you don't play hardcore.

I would imagine it's something like the Z77X has more USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports as well as an extra pair of SATA 6GB/s controllers probably and it the Z77X may be the better board for overclocking with.

Ok it's only for me it's 22 dollars more but I guess its worth it! I'll go for the 7850, anyone know a good cooler which isn't the Hyper 212 plus? The online shop near
Me doesn't have it.

Ok then ill get that, thanks :p, and also, why is the SSD you recomended better than the one which I first asked about, I dont disagree and you are probably right, its just I was curious.

The GA-Z77X-D3H has three PCIe slots. If you run one card its at X16. If you run two cards the top and second will run at X8. The lower PCIe slot is a X4 slot.
