Solve : Gaming computer hardware advice?

Answer» HEY guys, I'm building a gaming computer, and I need some advice on hardware, I have a few things picked but I already have the case. I need to know if the parts I want are compatible and would they play and record minecraft/league of legends and some other games at 60fps +?

Here is what I was thinking. (Budget is 1500$)

I need advice! Tell me what you think!
 



That looks very good!  What are you thinking about in terms of storage?

The only thing that I can think of is that a 750w PSU is a bit overkill for that system, 600w would be more than enough (even with a higher END video card) so you could potentially save money by getting a slightly cheaper power supply which could be used towards bumping the video card up to a GeForce 770.I'm really not sure how all the memory works, I heard it is best to get an solid state drive of about 125 GB, then. 2 terabyte western digital black hard drive I would go down that route too, get a reasonable size of SSD but get a large hard drive for storing files such as music and video then keep the SSD for your OS and programs.  As far as SSDs go, look at SAMSUNG, Crucial and Plextor.You are very helpful, thank you for the assistance, I'll be sure to check out those brands, 2 QUICK questions before I head off, is my hardware compatible? And can I access the ssd the same way I would with the hard drive, in the "my computer" ? Quote from: JTBOT65 on August 08, 2014, 09:00:43 AM

Yep, all that is compatible

The SSD would just show up as your C: drive and work just like a hard drive.  If you then added in a hard drive as well the hard drive would get a new letter.Awesome, thank you very much for your assistance, your a big help.
