I think this is the second thread I am creating in a matter of 2 weeks, but i am ready to buy the system now.
And I have settled for Intel i7 and not AMD.
My config is,
Intel® Core™ i7-4770 Processor (8M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz) - 21950
Intel DB85FL 4th Generation Motherboard - 6990
Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7770 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card - 8500
G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC RAM (F3-12800CL10S-8GBXL) - 6928
WD Blue WD10EZEX 1 TB Internal Hard Drive - 4184
Seasonic S12II 620 Watts PSU - 5950
Corsair 400R Mid Tower Cabinet - 6035
I chose ripjaws over vengeance since i heard it has good heat release and its smaller.
I guess both are same in performance, but i will be adding 3 more 8gb ram's soon.
I need the space , if the cabinet can accommodate 4 corsair vengeance ram's , i will take it.
I live in a bit dusted area so i chose Corsair 400R.
Please suggest me a good GPU +or- 2K, if a better one can be got. I will replace it next year end with a high end GPU , so I chose higher PSU and Cabinet. Let me know if this is good or I should go for more. I dont want to rebuy PSU and Cabinet next year.
I hope Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7770 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card has HDMI out and I can also connect to a 32 inch full hd led tv for gaming and get a good quality. Can it play all games at high resolution ?
Please suggest me any other alternatives, changes, etc.
