Right now, I'm looking at the following in terms of components for a gaming PC. Gaming and web surfing will probably be the only things I do with it. I might edit something here or there in Photoshop on rare occasions. I wanted to know if there were any significant compatibility errors or significant bottlenecks that might occur.
Now, I have a pretty bad situation here because I have no old parts whatsoever to speak of, since this is the first time I'm building a PC.
I want to be able to get the total cost of it down to $2000 or less, right now it's a few hundred over.
I do plan on gaming on the monitor below's native resolution, 1920x1200. Also, I have no problems with overclocking.
Also, I'd like to know if there are any ways that I can decrease the cost of components without sacrificing too much in terms of performance.
Note: All will be purchased on Newegg.
CPU: Intel i7 2500K (might overclock, not sure)
Mobo: ASUS Maximus IV Extreme P67
RAM: G-Skill Ripjaws X 8GB DDR3 2133
GPU: MSI GTX 560 TI Twin Frozr II
Boot Drive: OCZ Vertex 3 120 GB
