Hello Overclockers!
I'm looking into building a Gaming PC (first self built PC(hopefully around mid-level gaming spec)).
I have a list of most of the components however some advice (Especially money saving advice) would be greatly appreciated!
This is what I have so far:
Case - Zalman Z9 Plus Tower Case with Fan Controller - This comes with 4x case fans.
Motherboard - Gigabyte Z77-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard [GA-Z77-D3H]
CPU - Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W)
Memory - Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
PSU - OCZ ZS Series 550W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply
GPU - MSI TWIN FROZR II GEFORCE GTX 470 - This was bought for me when I decided I'd be making my own Gaming Rig, I will most probably upgrade it to the MSI HD 7850 Twin Frozr III OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card when I can afford to.
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache
SSD -OCZ Vertex 4 128GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive
CPU Fan - No idea. Overclocking is a possibility and from what I have read stock CPU fans aren't all that great for overclocking capabilities. With this being my first build I have no idea what sort of space I have to work with so finding a CPU fan that fits without this knowledge isn't the easiest of tasks.
Optical Drive -OcUK 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black)
That is everything I have down so far, any suggestions on improvements would be greatly appreciated (unless you're talking about the GPU since I have already stated what I'll do).
Thanks Overclockers!
