    Building a new computer

    Hey guys, I've decided on building a new computer for gaming.

    I'm posting what I'm planning on buying and hopefully receive some input on my choices.

    Case: Already bought.
    Mobo: ASUS P8Z77-V LX Socket-1155 Z77 Full-size ATX ($109)
    CPU: Core i7 2700K 3.5GHz LGA 1155 ($199)
    RAM: (2x) 8GB sticks (~$60)
    Video cards: (2x crossfired) AMD Radeon HD 7750 1024MB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 (~250)
    HD: Already bought (1TB)
    Power Supply: Antec 750 Watt (~$70)

    Total spendings: About $700

    Feedback & Suggestions appreciated.
    FUS RO DAH!

          Alright. Should a 128GB SSD suffice?

            Where are you getting a 2700k for $200? That's a pretty sweet deal. Other than that, I'd recommend going for a single video card over the straight crossfire, why not the 7850 instead? You can also get 8GB of ram for around $40 to save a little cash, most people recommend the gskill ripjaws series.

                  If I were you, I'd buy an NVIDIA video card rather than an ATI card.

                  GTX 660ti should play you basically everything out there.
                  Buy GIGABYTE GV-N66TWF2-2GD G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB 192-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card with fast shipping and top-rated customer service. Once you know, you Newegg!
