Hey guys!
I am going to be building a PC here in the very near future. Mostly new parts but a few will be re-used (HDD, SSD, Internal Blu-Ray Drive, GPU).
This will be my setup:
NEW:
MSI Z77A-G45 Motherboard
Intel i5-3570K CPU
Antec Kuhler 920 Liquid CPU Cooler
16 GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz Corsair Vengeance CL10 RAM
Corsair CX750 750 watt PSU
Corsair C70 Vengeance Case (Military Green
)
Recycled:
1 TB Western Digital Black HDD
120 GB Corsair Force Series SSD
ASUS Internal Blu-Ray Optical Drive
AMD Radeon HD 6950 2GB Video Card (To be replaced in ~4 months by new card)
What I am wondering is if there are any weaknesses in the above build? Things that don't work well together, etc?
As far as I can tell my next upgrade after this would be to get a faster/larger SSD.
Also, one last side question: I have Windows 7 64-bit. Is it worth the upgrade to Windows 8 for a gaming PC? I have heard mixed reviews.
Comments/suggestions are welcome!
Edit: Removed Radeon 7970.
