Hello everyone, I will be graduating high school soon and I get to build a new PC as a present! Here are the parts I plan to use, any tips are appreciated. I can't go much higher than $1,100, this build costs 1,137. I am upgrading from a Phenom II 810 quad(2.6Ghz), Radeon 5750 PC.
CPU: i5 3570k
MoBo: MSI Z77
RAM: 2 x 4GB DDR3 1600
GPU: Radeon 6850
SSD: Samsung 830 64BG (for OS)
HDD: Seagate 1TB
PSU: Corsair 700W
Optical Drive: Sony Drive
WiFi: Rosewell Adapter (I need wireless)
OS: Win 7 64-bit
Case: NZXT Phantom ATX Full
That's what I came up with, any tips for something I missed/saving money/getting better parts are welcome. Also I know the Sandy Bridges didn't work 1600 RAM without changing some settings, I'm not sure how it is with the new CPUs/MoBos, so can I get some info on that? Thanks!
