Also, would this be a good graphics card to have for $10 more or?

Oh okk, so I should get a good ventilated case, and fine I guess I will get more HDD... I've never done anything with overclocking so I had no idea how that even works really, haha. But would that GPU be able to run ultra on BF3 without overclocking?

Also what is the difference besides the price on these 2 HDD's?

And is the optical drive I have good?

And check the mainpage for the new build I have, it is only lacking an HDD, I'm looking to get a 500gb hdd. Also do I need a sound card?

---

Caviar blue is bit slower than caviar black. No need for sound card, onboard audio is good enough.


I would still go with GTX670. Nvidia cards is better than AMD cards when it comes to Battlefield 3. You will get 60-70 FPS with Ultra AA on and 100 FPS on Ultra with no AA.

Although what about, skyrim, cod gta? Will still be good correct? and my optical drive will be fine too?

 

[Inxy]

You can easily play COD and GTA. You'll get around 90 FPS on Skyrim on Ultra. CD drive is fine, also change your motherboard to Extreme4 not Extreme4-M. Extreme4-M comes with less features.

I changed the monitor from the one you suggested, is that all good too? And the motherboard you listed is extreme6.

Oh, this one then; http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293

[Mazool]

Fuck, that's expensive now haha. So this would run everything you said without overclocking? Cause I have no knowledge of overclocking at all.. :/ And I updated the main post, please do a quick check again.

Also, I'll be able to hookup my own speakers to this right?

 

[Inxy]

Yes and Yes, where's your CPU?

 

[Mazool]

Ah, I had the prices just forgot to put the cpu in, fixed it thanks Alright, i'll prolly start ordering parts this week

 

[Inxy]

Alright, checked your build again everything looks good. Make sure you post some pictures and good luck with building. I would also watch some video on PC building so you don't fuck things up. I would also buy some thermal paste, MX-4 is the best.

 

[Mazool]

Thank you and what would the thermal paste be for? I was going to watch some videos after I got all the parts.

 

[Inxy]

Because stock thermal paste is shit. MX-4 will reduce your temperature and make your parts last longer.

 

[Mazool]

Okk, and for the case, it comes with 3 120mm fans and I'm buying another 120mm fan which will work in the 140mm fan port right?

 

[Inxy]

Yea, talking about front? It fits 120mm and 140mm.

 

[Mazool]

Okk, was just making sure, and ahh, kinda sucks how it only has 2 usb ports I'll just buy an adapter thing for extra ones. and where would I buy the thermal paste?

 

[Inxy]

Case comes with 1 USB 2.0 and 1 USB 3.0. Motherboard comes with two USB 2.0 and 4 USB 3.0 Just search it up on newegg MX-4.

 

[Mazool]

Should I get the 4g of mx-4? http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186038

 

[Inxy]

Yea that's plenty and enough to last you for a while.
