new desktop pc build

[H4xPl0x]

Intel® Core™ i7-2600K ---quad core processor, 4x 3.4 ghz---
SAPPHIRE HD6570 (11191-00-20G) ---graphics card, 1024 mb---
Chieftec APS-500S ---power 500 watt---
Aerocool Vx-e Pro ---case---
ASUS DRW-24B3ST ---dvd writer---
ASRock H61DE/S3 ---motherboard---
Hitachi HDS721050CLA362 ---harddisk 500 gb---
Corsair 16 GB DDR3-1333 Quad-Kit --- 16 gb ram---

I got mouse, keyboard and monitor myself, just as a operating system.

Would this be a good pc to bot on and play some games like cod 4, and do some video editing? Thanks in advance

By the way, 16 gb ram should be enough for like 7-8 bots right?

Eww man, that GPU is horrible. Here's some advice.


1. Downgrade to i5 2500k. You won't notice much differences in gaming.
2. With $100 saved over. Get a better GPU like 6850 or 6950
3. i5's and i7's only support dual channel RAM. Plus you won't even utilize 8GB RAM.
4. Don't get a hitachi HDD. Get a samsung spinpoint F3.
5. Don't get that PSU. Look for a reptuable brand like Antec, Corsair or Seasonic.
6. Also H61 chipsets are horrible for overclocking. Get a P67 chipset.

Thanks for your reply, but I'm a complete noob at this and I honestly don't know what you mean w/
-dual channel RAM
-PSU
-P67 chipset

i5 2500k and i7 2600k only supports two RAM sticks.
That PSU is unreliable brand. High risk of your computer getting damaged.
P67 is a motherboard that is great for overclocking. H61 got on-board graphics. Which will be useless.

Thanks again :3. But is there anyway to reduce the price a bit? Because it's getting a bit too expensive now, as it is now it costs €735 ($1,028), and I think I can spend like $850. (Parents ...)

I'm off right now, I'll be back tonight in like 9 hours.

Get a cheaper case like HAF 912 or CM storm.

These are not available on the site I'm ordering from, so I got another cheap one (Chieftec CM-01B), but the difference was only like 10 bucks anyway...

You could get an AMD processor. Put some money money towards a better GPU.

Change your CPU to a x4 955. Get 6950 instead.

For PSU, Change it to a trusted brand like Antec, corsair or Seasonic.

Okay, so I got the following PSU:
Seasonic S12II-620Bronze (SS-620GB)

The CPU you mentioned, but I'll probably stick with the hd6850, since it's alot cheaper than the hd6950. In the product reviews on the site I'll be purchasing from (alternate.nl) everyone mentions how they can run every game on max settings like mw2/blackops etc.

 

[Inxy]

Anyone can run black ops/Mw2 on max setting. it still use's old graphic engine. If you dowgrade to x4 955. your saving yourslef $100. By the way, what's your budget?

My budget is about $900-950

Right now I got the x4 955 and HD6850, which costs $931 together with seasonic PSU etc.

Are you just going to be playing CODMW2/MW3/Black ops?

Probably just CoD4, MW3, BF3 and Fifa 12.

Mmm, I can make you a build. What website will you be using?

Thanks, that would be amazing . I'll be using Alternate. Hopefully you can understand the Dutch site, most things are not too hard to understand I guess.
On this pic I added the translations of the most important stuff. I don't need any software/service/optional things, just what's on this "tab":

 

[Inxy]

Google chrome ftw, I'll help you after school.

Website isn't working for me.

Here:

Go for something like this

Case: Get a Antec, Coolermaster or NZXT case
PSU: 650w Corsair, Antec or Seasonic PSU will do fine
RAM: 2x4GB RAM I prefer G.Skill ripjaws.
GPU: 6870, if you have money for a 6950 or 560 Ti. Than I suggest getting it
CPU: x4 955
HD Samsung Spinpoint F3 or Caviar black
Motherboard: ASRock 970 Exteme 3
