Hi as stated budget would be around $1500 and I intend to play mainly bf3 on 1600 x 900 and other directx 11 games on high settings. Also, it has to be upgradable in the near future so I chose a rather beefy psu and case...
So is this a good build for the budget?
CPU: i5 3570K - $518 with mobo
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77 - M PRO -$518 with cpu
Graphics: Powercolor Radeon HD 7850 PCS+ -$369
RAM: 2 x 4gb Corsair PC3 - 12800 Vengeance C9 -$75
Power Supply: Corsair TX-750M 80 Plus Bronze -$159
Hard Drive: WD Caviar Blue 1TB -$124
Optical Drive: Samsung 22x SATA -$23
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 Advanced -$133
With Windows 7 OEM total would be around $1526; I already got a monitor, keyboard etc.
So is this a good build for $1500. Help! Advice needed especially for motherboard, case, power supply, i'm not very sure what to get. Also, the prices are mostly taken from http://www.videopro.com.sg/products/, I'm guessing that individual components would be around the same for the various shops there so any advice on where I should get the parts from?
