New Build

[Compequip]

So I wanted to do a new build last year and with all the talk about new GPU's coming out and new CPU's I waited. Well seeing that the new GPU's came out and AMD's failed attempt to whooo the public with there new cpu, intel released there new cpu for shipping this week and over the next couple of weeks should become readily available. But the new IB doesn't show much improvement over SB so I think I'm safe with i5 2500K. With that said here is what I'm looking to build, please suggest anything I might have over looked. I plan on buying all my componets in 30 days.

Use: Web browsing, word/excel doc. and gaming mostly World of Tanks.

Budget up to 1200.00 us max, cheaper is always a +

Places I buy: Micro Center, Newegg, Tiger Direct and local stores. I'm located in So Cal and open to buy from any legitament stores.


Case: Corsair 400R (100.00)

CPU: i5 2500K (180.00)

Cooler: I don't plan on OC so I don't think I need but if so go ahead and suggest one.

Mobo: open to suggestions

GPU: I don't care if it's AMD or Nvidia, but would like to try Nvidia after having AMD the past 5 years. Want to keep it under $350.00 I found this

SSD: Do you think I should put in one for a boot drive or gaming drive?

Ram: 8 or 16 gb

PSU: 600 - 750 watt modular would probably do. I know ppl love suggestion corsair, seasonic, antec, etc. but have no issues with ocz. I was thinking of either

Pretty nice build. I wouldn't get either of those psus on a high budget. They are fine psus, but for $80, you can get a lot better. Get the 480, it's about %10 better than the 570. I would get a 32 gb ssd mainly just for windows and updates, and steam, and your favorite web browser, but that's it.

The 480 is faster than a 570, but consumes more power and runs hotter.

Out of those PSUs, get the Seasonic. Could also look at a corsair TX650.
