Hi guys! I'm trying to build my very first pc on my own and I need some suggestions/comments regarding the parts that I'm considering!
I'm thinking of getting:
-Intel i5 2500k
-Asus P8P67 Pro
-HP 8X BD ROM/ DVD Writer
-WD 1TB 64M BLACK DUAL PROCESSOR
-2X4GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR3-1600
-SAPPHIRE HD6950 DDR5
-SEASONIC X-SERIES 760W GOLD
-CM HYPER 212 CPU FAN
-CM HAF 912 ADVANCE
Please help me as this is my very first time! THANKS LOADS! :)
Get an FSP Aurum 500 instead.
Cheaper, same 80PLUS GOLD rating, smaller in size.
Not to mention that it will save you more power because you're closer to the PSU's ideal load range.
Even at idle, your computer will be loading it up more as compared to an extremely low load on a 750W PSU, hence making it more efficient.
Shouldn't be a problem. But why are you getting only a external 8x optical drive?
