next year I am hopefully going to build a gaming pc which will be my first proper desktop PC (Intel) after being on console for a number of years. I know how to do it (with a lot of help from you guys!) but I'm not sure whether I can get better components for a similar price and would like a bit of help.
These are the specs:
CASE: Antec 1100 Black Super Mid Tower Performance Case w 2x 120mm Antec Tri-cool manual fans
I could be wrong about this, but an i7 might be overkill for gaming. You would be better off with an i5 and spend the leftover money on some extra memory or maybe go the extra mile for an SSD
+1, For gaming an i7 i overkill and the system woud be a little out of balance. Unless you have the money to spend, get an i5, 8GB of 1600 or 1866 MHz RAM. After you have done that to balance your system better, if you have some extra cash I would do with getting a SSD with 64GB or more of space on it for your OS, or a 770.
If its mainly going to be gaming and you aren't in the nVidia camp I would suggest going with a 7950 as they cost about the same as a 760, but perform just about the same as a 770 or better yet, a 7970, that will crush a 770.
