Hey peeps, this is my first time building a PC. Appreciate all suggestions, guides and stuff. I am looking to overclock my processor and stuff. Please feel free to let me know if the power supply wattage is enough, or if I can maximise the potential of the GPU or is the cooling enough for my CPU.
So here it goes!
Motherboard + CPU: MSI Z77-G45 + 3570k ($472 TradePac)
GPU: EVGA GTX760SC 2GB DDR5 ($400 TradePac)
RAM: 4GB x 4 (From a friend)
PSU: Corsair TX650M 650W Bronze ($129 Fuwell)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H60 High-Performance Hydro Cooler ($109 Fuwell)
HDD: Seagate 1TB 7200rpm ($78 TradePac)
Driver: ASUS 24X DVDRW SATA ($24 TradePac)
Network Adapter: ASUS PCE-N53 Dual-Band WirelessN600 PCI-E Adapter($75)
Case: Thermaltake Chaser A31 Tower Case ($119 Fuwell)
Total: $1406
I'm trying not to go beyond $1400. Im quite budget tight, cause the rest of the money I'm saving to get a 23' IPS Monitor
Thanks in advance for all the advises and suggestions!
Cheers
first time build a\wanna overclock?
you know why people OC?
Performance increase? I will be working with some softwares like Photoshop, After effects, Premiere Pro, VMware, Netbeans and stuff haha
now processor so cheap when bundled with mainboard. dont overclock lah.
your aim is to do graphics work so just get the processor and graphics card suited for your applciations. also get a spare external hdd to back up your work.
get the highest best processor numnbering lah.
overclock comes with a price for beginners.
costs more electricity, have to get very god cooling system.
and also your ram and mobo and processor will wear and die earlier than expected.
if you do ever sell your sustem later, if people knwo you oc before you may not get a better resale price.
