I'm wanting to build a computer that is only really going to be used for gaming and i'm just wanting to get some opinions of if its right or if I should get another part instead of what I have picked out.
Cpu cooler- Corsair Vengence H100 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU cooler 79.99
Power supply- Corsair Enthusiast TX750m 129.99
SSD- Corsair Force Series 3 120GB 99.99
Case- NZXT Switch 810 189.99
I chose the motherboard I did because I have a GTX 480 that I bought a long time ago and I was going to use that as a Physx card and than I'd also have room to get a second GTX 670 down the road if need be.
Any help would be great first time building a computer rig. I am in Canada and all the products I choose are from either MemoryExpress or Newegg. After taxes and shipping the grand total is $1649.08
will the switch even fit an h100? and if your gonna do SLI, you want the HAFx, it has a gpu cooling duct, and is certified by nvidia for SLI. not to mention, it's strong enough that some people use them like step stools....
I dunno, that 670 is a pretty good deal. two games currently valued around 100 dollars, so if you were going to buy those games anyway its like buying a 7870 or 7950 which a 670 will do just as well. Plus as he said he planned on using it for SLI and physix.
For the price I would get a corsair 650D instead of the switch.
I am in no way saying the OP shouldnt buy a HAF X. But I personally do not like the styling of it and the plastic look and feel. So I just gave him my thoughts. I find the construction of corsair cases to be fantastic, high class feel for a good price.
Thanks for the info wasnt to sure on the case just looked nice and I like the window on it to show off the inside. The extra cooling on the gpu from the HafX is a nice idea I know my 480 can get pretty hot so anyway to keep that cool would be nice. And the 650d is a pretty nice looking case also sleek and minimal on the outside. I'll have to look at more cases and see which one works best for the set-up.
Yeah for sure. Figure out what style you like, then specs you want (Front USB 3 etc). Then most people here would be able to give an idea of what would look similar but perform better etc.
