First PC build

jebbett · 26 Mar 2013 at 21:02

Hi
I've just built my first gaming computer for about £650, was wondering what everyone thinks. Here are the specs:

CPU: Intel i5 3570 3.4GHz
GPU: EVGA GTX 660 FTW Signature 2 3GB
Mobo: MSI Z77 G41
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz 8GB (2x4GB)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
PSU: Corsair CX600M
Case: Enermax Ostrog WB

And a 140mm case fan

I know that's a bit expensive for what it is, I could have saved and got a case and PSU for £25 and a B75 mATX mobo for £40 (instead of paying about £170 for all these components) but I wanted it to look good and I didn't want to cheap out on a PSU.

Hello and welcome to the forum

Spec is not bad, I would have gone for the Gigabyte D3H which gets excellent reviews.

It was a good idea not to skimp on the PSU

Do you have any pics of the build as you posted in Project Logs

What CPU fan do u have? I'm sure you could get that processor up to a higher clock speed with some help from people on here!
