New Build? Are these parts good

[Gamepsyched]

Ok Ok, You guys are speaking jibberish but i think im getting the point.

Here is what i will be ordering

I5 3570:http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115233

AND

MOBO:http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131837

Good to go?


And if im correct my I7 is a quad core (4 physical cored) but due to hyperthreading it has 8 virtual cores? Am i kind of getting it? lol

Yeah your i7 is like that. It has 8 threads but 4 cores. Regardless, the 3570K will be faster than your current i7.

Try to get a 3570K if you can, adds the option for overclocking. Board is good.

Ok almost ordered just the 3570, Got the 3570K for 20 dollars more, Im clueless on how to overclock CPU's only familiar with GPU overclocking.

But im sure you will help me with that when the time comes

 

[spirit]

So you've got the 3570K now? Basically it's very easy, but it does take some time getting a configuration which works well. You need to start low, aim high.

You'll also need an aftermarket cooler for overclocking but I wouldn't a cooler until you want to start overclocking it.

 

[Gamepsyched]

Yeah i ordered the 3570K for 225$ , Total bill is 1220$ :/ But this build should last me awhile!

 

[spirit]

Will be great.

Is this GTX 680 Overkill?? Im thinking maybe i could order a tiny bit cheaper card

 

[wolfeking]

GTX 670 will do just fine. As would a HD7950. They are both stupidly powerful cards.

 

[spirit]

Yeah go for the 670.

 

[Gamepsyched]

Ok yeah, Seems like people are saying you can OC the 670 to perform just as well, Should i get 2Gb or 4 GB version

 

[wolfeking]

either is fine, but the 4GB will hold higher resolutions and last longer.

 

[Gamepsyched]

And should i look at core clock and boost clock

This one is 941 and 1019 boost clock. Or will they all overclock the same

 

[wolfeking]

get whichever has the best cooler if you are going to overclock it. It is fast enough stock that you should not need to overclock it at all.

Ended up just going WIth the Evga GTX 680 SC w/backplate i posted.

I will post my build and pics once im done, Thanks for your help guys!!
