Building a computer help.

Opera was fucking me round.

I'm looking at building a computer, these are the parts i'm looking at.

 Asus P8H67-M Intel H67 mATX, 1155, RAID, CrossFireX, Onboard VGA/HDMI (Revised B3 Chipset) Motheboard

Intel Core i7 2600K 3.40 GHz 8M LGA1155 Processor

Corsair 4GB (1x4GB) DDR3 1333MHz Unbuffered CL 9 DIMM Memory x 2

 Asus HD 6770 1GB DDR5 PCI-E HDTV VGA/DVI/HDMI Video Card

Western Digital Internal 2TB 3.5Inch 32MB SATA II AV-GP Edition Hard Drive

 Aywun GAME Series G04 Black/Silver mid tower ATX case with side window

 Antec 750W EarthWatts ATX Power Supply, cable management 135mm low noise cooling

 Asus DRW-24B3LT Lightscribe SATA 24xDVDRW Black

 Will all of these parts fit?
 Any parts I'm buying shit? Anything I should upgrade?
 Am I missing anything?

 I'm building this when I am in New Zealand so I am buying from www.elive.co.nz Any help/ideas/suggestions would be very helpful, thanks.

sounds like a really good build man! I wish I could have gotten the i7 2600k when i built my pc. Only thing I'd suggest is a samsung spinpoint f3 1tb hd x2 instead of one 2tb drive. that way you can use one as a backup and one as a regular drive instead of storing 2tb's of info on one drive and having it crash. everything else looks solid!

good luck finding help with that on a skiing site....


but your best bet is to check out M&A

Fucking good build dude! That thing will be a beast!

Oh and yes from what I can see it will all fit together

if you want to game, buy a better graphics card.
I would recommend the gtx 560 ti.
And here's a tutorial how to build one (if you need it). Build it parallel to it and everythig will work fine.

Okay, I've changed the motherboard and graphics card.

Thanks for the help guys, this what I'm looking at now.

Same questions as last time. I'm not sure about the RAM, think someone said it is shit.

Your graphics card isn't compatible with your motherboard. Your motherboard is a Crossfire board, and you have an SLI card. I would just go with the Radeon HD 6970 card.

Is the Radeon 6970 still a decent card though?

While I can afford it I might as well get the best I can ha

Yeah, it's a great card. Another thought it to just change your motherboard. I haven't looked at hardware prices in a while, but if you can find a similar board that has an SLI chipset, then you can keep the nVidia card. I personally prefer SLI over Crossfire, but it seems that you don't really mind either way.

If you want the best, then go with the Radeon HD 6990, but it's quite pricey at $700...

AV-GP Edition Hard Drive? Why?

'GP' = 'Green Power'. They are slower 5XXX RPM drives, the faster drivers are 7200RPM (or even higher for WD raptors). 'AV' drives are made to be used 24/7, so they cost extra. Just get a caviar black, or a hitachi 7K100, or caviar blue.

And, you can run an SLI card on a crossfire i'm pretty sure,

I recommend the samsung spinpoints for a HDD

Indeed, Also if your planning on OC'ing you might want to think about changing your motherboard, its not very overclocking friendly.

You have to hack the drivers.
