My PC build, just looking for opinions
« on: March 03, 2014, 01:48:49 pm »
So I ordered my computer parts last week, everything should be coming by wednesday just wanted to ask your guys' opinion on the build.

Intel i-5 3570 Ivy bridge 3.4GHz
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 660 2Gb 192-bit
G.SKILL Ares Series 8Gb(2x4gb) RAM
WD Blue 1tb HDD
Rosewill Green series 630W PSU
ASUS P8z77-V LGA 1155
Acer 21.5" Monitor

edit/ Forgot to add that I got this wireless adapter for the pc because we changed providers and the modem is no longer in my room :-\
Wireless card

and  maybe a year or two ago I bought the case and was able to buy the guts this year.

Rosewill Challenger Mid-Tower Case

So what do you guys think? More just wanted to tell someone that cares about computers about this. Get glazed eyes when I start talkin about this stuff with other people.

Asking for opinions around here can be dangerous...

You already ordered the parts? Just enjoy your new PC.

...but since you asked...

I would have gotten the i5 4670K, Tinybit faster and unlocked.

I also would have gotten a 24" monitor, they are cheap now and their are many options.

But what you have coming is going to be a fine rig.
