1.	Solve : Gaming Computer - Confirmation?
Answer» I plan to build a NEW Gaming PC. I came up with some components and I thought they were decent. I need your help to confirm that all of my components will correctly function (Fit with the motherboard, etc.) and that this new Gaming PC will run Computer-Intensive games (Such as ARMA 3, BioShock Infinite, etc.) Please look at this list of components that their amazon links provided in this pastebin: http://pastebin.com/Ys0qP471 Please look in detail at every component and make SURE that they will all fit with the motherboard, be compatible with the motherboard, etc. If you have any suggestions for anything and if you notice any slight problem, please feel free to comment. Thank you SOOO much for your time. You seem about all set. You didn't list a POWER supply though, that's pretty important. Your case is big enough for the graphics card, your RAM's clock speed is correct for the motherboard and the cpu. The disk drive is SATA, right for the motherboard. Hard drive is SATA 6 gb/s, make sure you put it on the 6gb/s slot and not one of the 3gb/s slots. CPU is correct socket for the motherboard as well. Only consideration other than the PSU is I would get Windows 7 instead of 8, but that's entirely up to you. Edit: Just re-checked, your motherboard select is a B75 Express chipset meant for BUSINESS use mostly. I would look to find a Z77 motherboard instead.Pardon me. When I tried to read the Link given and all I saw was a list of links. It would have been easier just to list the items by name and type. Like name of mother board, name pf CPU. Quote from: InfamousMyzt on September 21, 2014, 09:24:01 PM Only consideration other than the PSU is I would get Windows 7 instead of 8, but that's entirely up to you. Why would you prefer Windows 7? Is it a better fit for this set up or something about Windows 8 that I should avoid? I really want to know 'coz I also have a somewhat similar set-up and I'm thinking of getting Windows 8. It's just not an incredibly popular OS. If you've used it and like it, then no problems. Most people hate the UI and a bunch of other small issues. Personally preference really, just popular opinion is that Win7 is better.All of that stuff will work together but you are buying a 2 year old CPU and motherboard, I would advise you to look at newer Haswell/Devil's Canyon chips and suitable motherboards. What power supply are you looking at? This is a very important component. The OS is totally personal opinion, there is no "best" OS.I have looked at all of your comments, and I want to thank you for your time. I have now chosen to keep all of my components in my Build besides a new MOBO, CPU, and of course a new PSU. Here is the pastebin link for these components: http://pastebin.com/itRSvRNJ Please make sure these new components are compatible with the rest (Found in the previous pastebin). And as always, again, thank you for your help.You're all set, just keep in mind that the new motherboard supports AMD's Crossfire, but not nVidia's SLI; However both of these technologies are not very cost efficient and I don't recommend using them unless you're going REALLY high END, so it shouldn't matter. Also, check newegg for the same parts just to see if any of them are cheaper. Good luck on the build!

Thank you SOOO much for your time. You seem about all set. You didn't list a POWER supply though, that's pretty important.

Your case is big enough for the graphics card, your RAM's clock speed is correct for the motherboard and the cpu.

The disk drive is SATA, right for the motherboard. Hard drive is SATA 6 gb/s, make sure you put it on the 6gb/s slot and not one of the 3gb/s slots.

CPU is correct socket for the motherboard as well.

Only consideration other than the PSU is I would get Windows 7 instead of 8, but that's entirely up to you.

Edit: Just re-checked, your motherboard select is a B75 Express chipset meant for BUSINESS use mostly. I would look to find a Z77 motherboard instead.Pardon me.
