So I'm building a PC, but it's the first time I'm doing something like this, so right now I know fuck all. I'm gonna make a list here of things I need and what I have in mind buying for that certain part. Opinions and suggestions would be appreciated. Smile

Extra case fans (optional?) : up to 3 x Zalman ZM-F3RL - €10,99 per fan or Cooler Coolermaster PWM 120mm Ball Bearing - €9,95 per fan

HDD : I have a 2TB external HDD that I can screw open and use as an internal HDD, so that's covered.

CPU Cooler : Antec KÜHLER H2O 620 - €59,90

SDD (optional) : Mushkin MKNSSDCR120GB - €89,90

Processor : Intel®️ Core™️ i5-3570K (FC-LGA4, "Ivy Bridge") - €227,90

Looks good man, but is that 8GB of RAM you're going for? If so then cool, if not, then go to 8gb.

Also get Windows 7 64 bit, 64 bit is included in the 32 bit license, but you may need another disc as I did.

Looks good, but not as aware on the 7850 but I think it's a beast. How much is it combined?

you would want the motherboard with intel Z77 chipset for compatability since that 67 very old chipset might need bios updates for the cpu to work.

you might want some better brand psu like rosewill which is a bit rare or antec high current pro, or xfx XXX series, something with single rail power distribution anyway.

for case fans and for the cpu cooling radiator fan, some 120mm fluid bearing fans, better reliability and lasts longer.
