The first thing I want to know is with building my PC, is. I already have My Tower in mind. Now, would all of my components fit and, be compatible with it. So I am building around My Tower.

My Tower is a NZXT Crafted Series ATX Full Tower Steel Chassis. I have not selected, My Motherboard yet. I have My Video Card, Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 2 GB DDR5 DL-DVI-I/SL-DVI-D/HDMI/Dual Mini DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 100312SR only. Because I want a great PC for gaming. Yet my budget is around $1300.

So is there any assistance I can gain by anyone that would be excellent! Thank you for taking the time to read and maybe help me out with this little info I have given you.

Well the tower is more of a personal prefrence imho, since it's a full tower any size motherboard will fit except itx. What cpu are you looking at? Since you are wanting a good stable system with upgrade options I would try for using quality parts like we have listed in our suggested builds. The link is in my sig, for a power supply go with a min of 650 watt corsair or seasonic. The psu is not an item to skimp on and if you get a quality unit it will protect your investment for years rather than over volting componest when its pushed like cheap and low qaulity units from mfgs like antech and lite-on.

Hey thank you for the response. I am really new to building my own PC. I like to have support on an important project such as this! I have looked around and I think that I will go with this processor. I will choose the Intel Core i7-870 2.93GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor. But rightnow I have to go. I will answer anymore necessary question. Cause I'm new to building. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me!

Greatfully,
Wiredwolf

I would suggest you look over the build listings for ideas on quality hardware.
You could do much better for less money.

If it was me

If I was building my first I would use one of the builds from the build post 2011. The only thing I would do different is use a Modular power supply and maybe go up 100 watts for up grades. Everyone has a case they like better. Me I like a case with fans and easy to change hard drives. I like Asus MB and AMD(I am retired and don't have a lot of money Known the bios in Asus and have always had good luck with them). But go with the brands they have listed. You have a good name Video card shoud be fine. Maybe more than you need. But my PC is always more than I need. But I like to OC just for fun.
Good Luck and God Bless Johnny

What's with the "God bless Johnny" ..............................what did you do that's troubling you so?

This is a computer forum; the religion forum is two doors down the hall to the right.

 

[Wiredwolf]

There are some differences in the list. But, I want to know if what I have is going to work together?

 

[Tyree]

What you listed should work together but you could do considerably better for less money as shown in our suggested builds list that I linked to in Post #6.
Our $1200 ($1162.91) Intel build would be a better value and uses better quality hardware.
In the end, your money-your decision.
