hey guys I just watched your 550 gaming pc 2012 build

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btYNJrkPrbk&feature=fvwrel

and before i purchased these hardwares i had a couple questions

 

1) will the BIOSTAR B75MU3+ LGA 1155 Intel B75 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel  motherboard let me use the intel i7's and ivy bridges to their full power, since im thinking of upgrading in the future

2) that mother board has a pcie 3.0 i think, and i was wondering if it will also let me use the graphics card to its full potential? and whats the strongest graphics card i can get with a pcie 3.0 plug and how long would that strong grraphics card take to be obsolete since like i said im thinking of upgrades in the future

3) will the PSU for this build let me do all the future upgrades without me having to change the PSU because of using more watts do to the future upgrades?

4) I just thought I'd add that when im playing my games I dont need a high 1920x1080 i just need high or very high texture graphics, models, and effects with a simple resolution like 1600*whatever that other number is and i dont want my game performance to go under 40 fps that's all i would need so please also inform me of the performance that this build would give

also what fps would i get with a 1600* type of resolution and high textures and such with this list of games,

battlefield

witcher

skyrim

crysis 2

and yea thanks guys

DON'T KILL YOUR CONSOLE MAN. What if it has a family? What if it has children. What are they going to say when daddy never comes back home?

I'd buy an i3 before any AMD for gaming. You don't want to regret getting an AM3+ socket MOBO in a few years.

Pair that with some decently priced 1600 Ram, and a GTX 660ti maybe a 7870 or if you have the money to burn a non-reference gtx 670. You'll be flying for the next 1-3 years.

If you can't afford it all it once, skimp on a less powerful intel processor (the i3 3225 is great I have it it flies in all the games I can throw at it), and a less powerful gpu, and keep everything else super quality. Then in a year or so you'll have upgraded those parts and sold the old ones on craigslist/ebay/kijiji etc. for a profit.

It's too early/late for me right now. Basically, start with a 1155 socket MOBO and go from there. Seasonic PSU for sure though. Corshair, or Mushkin RAM. I like an Asus MOBO but hey we can't all afford that. Just read reviews on www.newegg.com and anything with over 60% positive should be fine. Remember a lot of people that post on newegg are some of the 1% that had defective parts. Over half of the people that RMA seems to have shady stories about bent pins or things just frying. Many of them probably messed up their builds and are getting a free pass by NewEgg. Keep that in mind.
