First Time Build
|
This is the first time I want to make a pc myself, have experience helping friends tho.
__________________I'd like to know if this build will function properly when gaming (lots of games with high graphics). And I also need to know if these parts support each other. Please rate / advise thnx XxScaevolAxX Case: €129 -CM HAF-932 link Mobo: €159 -MSI 790FX GD70 am3 socket link psu: €85 -CM Realpower M620 link cpu: €219 -phenom ii x4 @ 3.2 stock 3.7 OC am3 socket link gpu: €189 -XFX HD4890 Black Edit. 1Gb gddr5 / 256 bit / 1Ghz clock / 4Ghz memory OCed gpu cooler: -active, stock link ram: €85 -OCZ ReaperX 4Gb dual channel ddr3-1333 ram cooler: -passive, stock, HPC (copper) link hdd: €75 -2x raid0 mirrored samsung spinpoint f1 160Gb / 16mb cache / 7200rpm link cd/dvd: €22 -pioneer 22 / 8 / 12 speed. 2Mb cache link card reader: €12 -scythe kama reader 2 link sound: -stock in mobo UPDATE: Circumstances changed, my dad will add the rest of the money needed up to €150 if I get some good marks at school this week. XD Max price: €1050 so I can go with a €75 cooling setup lolz. Cpu cooling prices: V8: €55 1x 120mm 69,69 cfm fan TRUE: €69 1x 120mm fan TRUE full-copper: €??? IFX-14 €59 excl fans Mugen 2 €35 1x 120mm 74 cfm fan options: 1- go for the V8 and let it be? 2- go for TRUE and push pull 2 120mm fans? 3- go for IFX-14 and push pull 2 140mm fans + 80mm on backside? 4- go for Mugen 2 and push push pull pull 4 120mm fans? 5- get my mobo ready for nuclear war and wait for the TRUE-copper? XD about the fans: which ones do you advise? Sound is not an issue ![]() saving money: After buying cpu cooler and fans + holders etc I will have some spare, what are your opinions about PCIe socket coolers? I mean not cooling the sockets but coolers that fit in PCIe slots.

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind, going to check out some psu's now. (+rep btw)
__________________For the case: I'll go with this big one because the first future investment will be watercooling and this case is perfect for that purpose so I heard. I also consider changing the CMv8 for a megahalems or TRUE (waiting for the all-copper-version :P) for now this case will do perfect, especially when having in mind that a TRUE or a megahalems has to be placed with a 90 degrees rotation, having it very close to the gpu heatzone wont it? small investments in near future will be an all-in-one card reader and maybe velociraptor harddisks but those arent the issue here. so question remaining: wait for TRUE full-copper or go with the normal TRUE? and will I need after-market backplate? because I cant find em and I heard that 900g on a plastic backplate might cause trouble.
