Solve : First Computer Build.?

1.	Solve : First Computer Build.?
Answer» Hey guys, I just wanted to ask, im thinking of build a nice gaming computer ( my first ever) and i was wanting to know if my specs are going to be good enough... so here they are 1. Rosewill Black hawk mid-tower computer cases with 5 120 mm fans 2. Asus Sabertooth Motherboard. 3. AMD fx 8350 processor 4.G.skill 2x4 GB 1600 mhz ddr3 ram 5. Gigabyte 7870 HD 3 FAN gpu card 2 GB 6. OCZ ZT 750 W fully modular PSU 7. 500 GB WD blue 7200 rpm HDD 8. Asus CD/dvd Burner. 9.Cooler Master 212 + aftermarket cooler. 10.Arctic MX-4 Thermal Paste. 11. I also want to get a 2nd 120 mm fan for the cpu cooler making it a dual fan push-pull combo and I want to get another 140 mm fan for the case making it 2 top 2 front and 2 rear fans on the case... Total cost is roughly $1350 in usDThat cooler master 212 is a really good CPU fan - unlikely you'll need anything else. Those specs look pretty good. Personally I'd go with intel CPU and Nvidia GPU - looks like you are going with AMD and ATI... but thats more of a brand preference. I would change the WB Blue to a Black for gaming. The blacks are HIGHER performance - and run hotter, but you have lots of fans so so probs there. Looks like it's going to be a good build. Nice rig for the price - I'm green with envy lol. RazorI would also recommend you for an Intel CPU, like the i7 or i5 along with a 2x8GB or 4x4GB of RAM. In terms of grapichs, that ATI should do just fine if you don't fancy an nVidia one.
