How is this gaming pc build?

  • how does thisbuild sound please help me, i want to be able to max most games. my last build did NOT go well. Case: http://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Phantom-Tower-Gaming-Case/dp/B006I2H084 Internal Expansion: ( [6-Port] NZXT Internal USB Expansion System + Bluetooth & Wireless N Modules ) CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-2500K Processor (4x 3.30GHz/6MB L3 Cache) EDIT: it is oc'd ~20% Cooling: ( Liquid CPU Cooling System [SOCKET-1155] Ram: 8 GB [4 GB X2] DDR3-1600 Memory Module GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 - 1.2GB Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 Hard Drive: 1 TB HARD DRIVE -- 32M Cache, 7200 RPM, 6.0Gb/s - Single Drive OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) PSU: 850 Watt - XFX Core Edition PRO Questions: 1.) How is the cpu for gaming? Skyrim especially? With my GPU will there be any bottlenecking? 2.) What exactly is internal expansion? Is it necessary? 3.) Is there enough cooling? 4.) Is the PSU enough, and is it a good PSU. my last one broke within one day of getting my pc and i was furious. 5.) Overall what do you think of this build?

  • Answer:

    Decent build. 1)Great. It can handle Skyrim easily as well as any other game for the next 2 years. No bottleneck 2)It just adds more ports i guess. No, it's not necessary 3)Yes. 4)Good PSU. You've chosen quality and that's what you want out of a PSU 5)Very good.

1-Okay, but not fantastic, your GPU might be bottlenecking but you can change the graphic settings in the game! 2-If you don't know what it means, don't worry! 3-If it's sold as is, it should. If you are building it, it should but don't overclock it unless you know what you are doing! It's kinda overkill if you ask me so don't worry about that 20%...but I don't have enough info: Liquid CPU Cooling System is a generic name, it could be anything! 4-PSU is more than enough!! 5-Not bad but I'd take less RAM, a better GPU and CPU!!

Nice build. This game should be able to max all games out depending on resolution. I would prefer Corsair PSU since they're are known for producing quality products. There isn't any bottlenecks in this rig really besides your HDD. If you can try get a WD Black 1TB 7200RPM 64MB cache. The cooling in this case is good enough. You got liquid cooling anyways for your CPU so thats good, just make sure you get a decent liquid cooling form a good manufacturer.

it'll be great for gaming! sorry i dont feel like answering all your questions but the PSU is fine. good build, i got the nzxt phantom full tower a week ago and its really good, so the mid tower will be alright also.
