For two years I've been waiting to build a PC, essentially a future proof one (for gaming).
I have noticed from the last time I researched (2 years ago) a lot of newer and nicer pc components have come out.
So since yesterday I no-lifed it and found my self, in my opinion, some decent parts in order to build a PC.
I just wanted to check with you guys if the parts selected are all compatible with each other and e.t.c. Furthermore any advice on a better or additional component to my list below would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
Here are the components as follows:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition 3.20GHz - £228
Motherboard: Asus Crosshair IV Formula AMD 890FX (Socket AM3) DDR3 Motherboard - £154
Video card: XFX HD 5870 Graphics Card - £287
Ram : Corsair dominator 6gb (3x2gb) - £124
PSU: Corsair 850W HX Modular PSU - 80plus Silver Certified Efficiency - £132
Case: Antec 1200 - £119 or Coolermaster HAF 932 £103 or Coolermaster HAF X - £140?
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 64mb cache 500gb 7200rpm - £43
CPU Cooler: Thermaltake frio - £35
Fan Controller (LCD): NZXT Sentry LX - £45 or Syth Kaze Master Pro - £23 or NZXT Sentry 2 - £25?
Optical Drive DVD RW: LiteOn IHAS524-32 24x labeltag - £20.99
Antec Veris IR Reciever?: £45
Sorry for the list being so long.
Any advice for a newb would be well appreciated.
Thanks again!
