So after years of skulking around the Giantbomb community I'm putting a call out to all you tech-savvy people out there. My friend made a list of parts for me and since I don't really know anything about building a computer I thought I would enlist you in helping. Also I live in Europe so I'm kinda screwed on the prices.
Prossessor: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor 225€
Motherboard: MSI H77MA-G43 Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard 87€
Video card: Asus GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card 209€
RAM: Team Group 8GB (2 x 4GB) Vulcan Series Red Dual-Channel kit, DDR3 1600MHz (PC3-12800) CL9 69€
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive 67.90€
Power supply: Silverstone Strider Essential 600W 80 PLUS Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply 64.90€
Optical drive: Samsung SH-224DB/RSBS DVD/CD Writer 29€
Case: Cooler Master Silencio 352M mATX/mITX 64.90€
So that brings the total up to 816.70€. I'm really hoping to stay at the 800€ range so any suggestions you have can reflect on that. So is this build viable for gaming for at least the next couple of years? And also is there anything to overclocking? I'm really hoping I can finally actually watch some videos on the site and not on Youtube. I thank you all in advance for any thoughts on this.
