Advice for a new GAMING PC needed here.

So I'm going to buy a new pc which i'll be using mostly for games. These are the parts:


Case:

Motherboard:

PSU:

+ALREADY BOUGHT+

CPU:

GFX CARD:

So, to sum it up I'm open to any advice about switchìng a part with one that you think is better for around the same price- maybe the GFX CARD or the Motherboard? I know that i need a SSD to go along with the CPU and GFX CARD so they will not be bottlenecked - so recommend me one(samsung maybe?).

PS: wrote this with a N73 which is FUCKING HARD and takes forever.

Why are you buying your entire PC off of ebay?

I had that cooler before and its monster cooler.
as to ssd id suggest any kingstone hyperx series it will set you down about 100-120 eur for 100GB+ but will improve performance insanely(especially operating system load time)

Because I live in a shitty country where pc parts are overpriced at least 1.5 times from what I'm getting off ebay.

That's a pretty ballin' build you have there.
3770k-awesome
7950-awesome
motherboard-My only problem with it is that its asrock. If you're spending that much on the mobo why not consider an asus sabertooth or a maximus V formula?
ssd-samsung 840 perhaps?

Also if its exclusively for gaming you might want to consider a 3570k and a cheaper motherboard. I can't help but think that you're overspending on the mobo and the cpu. This build, as awesome and top of the line it may be, doesn't have to be this expensive.

Assuming you're living in US or a place that might have this.
You should go to micro center.
I got my CPU and MOBO dirt cheap and both are working and considering they have a combo deal which make them cheaper. $229.99 for i7 3770k there and cheaper with mobo combo.
I got from there:
I5-3570k: $189.99
Asrock Z77 Pro4: $69.99


They also -price when I added SamSung 120gb ssd

As far as I can tell he doesn't live in the land of the free.

I know that the prices are dirt cheap in the US but unfortunately like I stated in my previous comment I live in a place where prices are inflated ridiculously (Albania - a place near Greece).




I'm thinking of changing the mobo with something else since my first concern is to prolong the lifespan of the build as long as possible so I won't really be overclocking hence the fatal1ty seems a waste.

The cheapest Maximus V formula that I found costs ~60EURO more so that's a bit too pricey for me. Will do a little more searching around for another mobo.

Actually since you're not running crazy overclocks or running a crossfire setup or running a raid config you don't need that board at all. A standard z77 board around $100-150 will do what you need just fine. If you're getting an unlocked cpu you should really be overclocking otherwise you're better off with a non "K" version cpu and save some money.

Or Alternatively buy an AlienWare.

NO! DO NOT BUY ALIENWARE!
expensive and way overprice... the only thing you're buying from them is the design and not so much of performance.

dude, just saying..

Nope, from what I've read on the web they are overpriced and also if you do just some simple math the components are cheaper if bought separately.




Slight change of mind - I might overclock since it doesn't hurt to have the chance if games become more CPU/GPU demanding(probably will) in the future.


I'm now looking for another motherboard and I've set my eye on this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281077524040?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

I'm using that same motherboard and I'm using GSkill Sniper RAM at 2133. I've had no problems overclocking my cpu from 3.4 to 4.2 and it can easily go higher. I'm just using an old Hyper 212 cooler and it is more than adequate. The cooler you have listed is expensive as fuck. Also the RAM I have has an XMP profile that you can set in the BIOS which makes it extremely easy to utilize it to the full potential.

^ stick with 1600 speed ram... or whatever's cheaper.

And here's a list of your build so far.. to make it look nicer than just links. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Oq4e

Thanks man, so I guess that the RAM is chosen too :) What about the gfx card? Do you thìnk that the gigabyte is worth the extra 50euro/60+ usd over the generic 7950? The main reason why i'm considering ìt is because it runs cooler under load and it might have a longer lifespan - does that hold aný ground or i'm completely wrong?

If all you are going to do is game, I would recommend an I5 instead of an I7. The I5 is just as strong as an I7 in gaming, If you plan on streaming or doing lots of video editing then it may be worth the extra price to go with an I7. As for the GPU get which ever you want, I have no problems with either nvidia or amd cards.

Stop double posting, OP.

GPU I usually go look at this website http://www.gpureview.com/
it give pretty nice comparason of any 2 graphic card you want.
Just remember that for GPU the stats is not as important as what you using it for. considering GPU perform differently across the chart on different games.

Sorry, was posting from my N73 so quoting 2 people and than cut->paste the text of one to the others was too much work.

OT: Following Nachbars advice on the ram I found this one for 80euro~103$ and the 1600mhz counterpart around 25$ cheaper and that's why I'm going to go for 8gb 2133.

Now... no one has answered my question about the gfx card...
Is this Radeon 7950 worth the 40$+ difference from the entry level 7950?
