New gaming pc

[johcai638]

Hey,my knowledge of computers is pretty sketchy but my friend has been helping me with the spec of this computer.
I want a large harddrive to deal with my large music library and movies etc.
I want to be able to run high end games on max settings very well for the considerable future, I'm just wondering if this spec will be able to do that?
Thanks for any advice

This is what I'd look at going for mate,

Case
COOLERMASTER CM690 MKII ADVANCED CASE - Great case, great cooling cable management and customisation, there are some pictures users have uploaded here and you can read more about the case here

Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™i5 Quad Core Processor i5-3570 (3.4GHz) 6MB Cache perfect cpu for ya needs

Motherboard
ASUS® P8Z77-V LX: USB 3.0, SATA 6GBs, ATI®CrossFireX again, this is perfect, if you want to add another 670 in the future you will need to upgrade this, but if you are only gaming on one screen you probably wont need another 670.

Memory (RAM)
8GB SAMSUNG DUAL-DDR3 1333MHz (2 X 4GB) yep, this is fine,

Graphics Card
2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 670 - 2 DVI, HDMI, DP - 3D Vision Ready beast of a card at a great price.

Memory - 1st Hard Disk
90GB KINGSTON HYPERX 3K SSD, SATA 6 Gb/s (upto 555MB/sR | 510MB/sW) you could remove this, but a ssd gives you a nice snappy pc, its not fully needed, but once you try one, you wont go back, install ya OS here and any important programs,

2nd Hard Disk
1TB WD CAVIAR BLACK WD1002FAEX, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64MB CACHE (7200rpm) Ideal for performance, games, steam/origin here, You can read about the caviar black here

3rd Hard Disk
2TB WD CAVIAR GREEN WD20EARS, SATA 3 Gb/s, 64MB (Special Offer) I have one of these for my music, movies and pictures. Great because when non in use they power down to use less power, output less heat. you can read about them here

1st DVD/BLU-RAY Drive
24x DUAL LAYER DVD WRITER ±R/±RW/RAM

Memory Card Reader
INTERNAL 52 IN 1 CARD READER (XD, MS, CF, SD, etc) + 1 x USB 2.0 PORT

Power Supply
CORSAIR 650W ENTHUSIAST SERIES™ TX650 V2-80 PLUS® BRONZE (£69) Perfect psu, if you wanted to add that extra 670, id go for a 850w psu, so you have enough juice, but again you probably wont need an extra 670.

Processor Cooling
SUPER QUIET 22dBA TRIPLE COPPER HEATPIPE INTEL CPU COOLER (£19) great cooler for the price, dont really need anything better unless you are doing very heavy cpu tasks or games that heavily rely on the cpu. I'd stick with this.

Sound Card
ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)

Network Facilities
10/100/1000 GIGABIT LAN PORT - AS STANDARD ON ALL PCs

USB Options
6 x USB 2.0 PORTS @ BACK PANEL (MIN 2 FRONT PORTS) AS STANDARD

Operating System

Office Software
NO OFFICE SOFTWARE

Anti-Virus

Warranty
