1. My Pc computer will be used for gaming. Playing games like League of legends, runescape, day-z, Rome total war series. Games like that. Will be on at all times, will be shut off when im sleeping and at school. Meaning i wont leave it running for no reason. Will let it run if im afk or something for a couple hours.
2. My MAX budget is $1000, NO MORE!!
3. I live in the United States, so obviously want to order parts from the US.
4. N/A
5. Ok, so im am building my Pc around the graphics card, ik thats weird, but I have always just wanted a computer that can run everything graphically. Because I have yet to have that. SO, on that Note. I am getting the Gtx 970 graphics card. Unless you can find better, for same price, I dont wan't it. The graphics card is so under priced atm. Quite obviously I want Intel. Not AMD. I prefer Intel over AMD. Prefer not to have Corsair products because of so many issues i hear of them having.
Build so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wGVzHx

Most of these were helped picked by a friend, other friends have chipped in on things like Ram mainly.
Build: Motherbooard(Can be changed, must be Intel supportive): Asus H87M-E Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...D=3938566&SID=
Cpu: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor(Can be changed, Intel)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...D=3938566&SID=
Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory(Goodluck with finding better Ram) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...D=3938566&SID=
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive( Would prefer to stay with this. If i can get price down on overall total would like to get 250 Gb SSD) http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electr...3328903&sr=1-1
HDD: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive or HGST/Hitachi (HUA723020ALA641) Ultrastar 7K3000 2TB 64MB 7200RPM 3.5"
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...D=3938566&SID=
http://www.amazon.com/Hitachi-HUA723...HGST%2Fhitachi
Would prefer between these two, but if know one with better quality and low price.
VIDEO CARDPride and joy of this computer): VGA 04G-2974-KR GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 ACX 2.0 PCI Express 3.0 (honestly, if you can find better for this price, I would be Speechless) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...D=3938566&SID=
Power supply: This is a part that I need help on too, I have a power supply that is older, that my dad still has from his old computer build and I am using his case too, which ill talk about later. Ultra ult-500P, it is older. http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/foru...-ultra-v-series-500w-power-supply-review.html
Do I stick with this, my build says its running around 323W- not including cpu coolers and case fans, i see no need for anything more then 500, but my friends say I should get a 650 for the future if i want another graphics card or what not. But with this graphics card, I think ill be set for a while, and by then ill have the money to just buy another power supply or even a completely new build if need be.(Technology advances fast)
My other choice for a Powersupply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650 G 80 PLUS GOLD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...D=3938566&SID= Oh my god! 10 year warranty, ill be set for life. Subject to change, do i stick with my powersupply or just shell out the $70 ish, remember im on my budget.
Operating system: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 (OEM) (64-bit): Already have, friend is giving to me for free, can install via flash drive.
Optical drive: UHHH, no idea. Just pick me on honestly, i dont plan on using disks, most websites have the software to download. But if you say I need, one then ill get one.
Case: My dads old case, my friends say it should still work with new motherboards, think the 4-5 80mm fans will be enough, if not ill get liquid cooling. Is 4-5 80mm fans good enough? Do I need liquid cooling for my build? And people say 80mms are loud, i want a quiet computer, so Liquid im assuming. Expensive though. If i need a new case, new cost reductions somewhere else. The case: http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1258
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO(friends recommended me, if you can find better for a low price, im fine with it.) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-099-_-Product
6. ^
7. I would like to overclock-superclock, whatever. A good bit of motherboards come with a button. So if you think i should, just say it.
8. Ehh, resolution size- anything from 1920 x 1080 and up. My graphics card can support 4k, so... I think ill be fine.
9. I plan on buying all the parts- Black friday, Cyber Monday.
SO guys, put in all opinions
