A few Questions on my first build

post #1 of 4

Thread Starter 
How do these parts seem? Any changes? Any suggestions? This is a Gaming PC and only that.
  • CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz,
  • GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 670,
  • MoBo: ASUS P8P67 Pro,
  • RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB),
  • Case: Corsair Obsidian 550D,
  • Power: Antec 750W,
  • SSD: Corsair Force 90 GB,
  • HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1.5 TB,
  • OpD: Samsung SH-222BB ,
  • Heat Sink: Coolermaster TPC-812 Vapor,
  • Monitor: Achieva Shimian qh270

As a person that grew up on a Mac, what are some things I need to download for windows? (i.e. spyware, and other software)

Finally, for my other hardware, how do these parts seem?
  • Mouse: Razer Naga
  • Keyboard: SteelSeries 6Gv2
  • Headset: SteelSeries Siberia V2 Red

That you for any and all help you can give.

I would get at least a 120GB SSD, a Crucial M4 or Samsung 830, something along those lines. They are sitting at about $100 right now, well worth the money .

What kinds of things have you done on a Mac that you would like to do on Windows?
