Good to go?

Advice on this rig, first time trying out.

MSI b85m-G43 + i7 4770k - $531
WD Blue 1Tb - $78
ADATA 1600mhz 2x4gb - $86
Samsung 24x DVDRW SATA - $21
MSI R7850 Twin Frozr 2gb ddr5 - $249
Win 7 - $115
PSU - Seasonic M12ii 520W - $99
Total = $1179

Can anyone recommend a casing that will fit these components? and if possible i would like to add a SSD drive that is not too expensive. My budget is $1.4k.

Do u intend to over clock?

U dun need 4770k. An i5 4670k is more than enough for games and multi tasking.

Ssd I recommend plextor m5p 128gb @ $159.

Casing u can look at corsair 200, 300, 540 & fractal design r4.

Then get a non-k processor. Those casing max at around $155.

mobo+processor mismatch.
non-oc mobo + unlocked processor = waste money. get a non-k processor. if for gaming only, get i5 enough, no need i7

I also prefer msi. The main thing is gigabytes cooler has the best cooler but ugly and it's also the cheapest among all 280x

go for the one who's distro is nearest your house lor..

...when i first got my gigabyte 280x and plugged it into my pc, everything powered up but there was no display...after hours of troubleshooting i assumed the card was doa...made a trip down to the distro (i stay at the east side lol)...turns out the card was fine, a bios update to my mobo and all is well...

 

[royfrosty]
