New Gaming PC

[Hoboape]

I am about to get a new PC (or at least parts of one) and id like some feedback on whether this is going to be good or not (i'm not the best when it comes to the technical aspect of PCs)
This is what im getting:
Processor [http://www.ebuyer.com/product/251596]
Motherboard [http://www.ebuyer.com/product/267321]
Graphics Card [http://www.ebuyer.com/product/254405]
Heatsink [http://www.ebuyer.com/product/245376]
Harddrive [http://www.ebuyer.com/product/173804]
Case [http://www.ebuyer.com/product/175611]
DVD Drive [http://www.ebuyer.com/product/190838]
RAM [http://www.ebuyer.com/product/240501]
PSU [http://www.ebuyer.com/product/269259]

What games would this be able to run?

TBH, if you're not overclocking you don't need to buy a separate cooler (the CPU will come with it's own) and ASRock isn't the best Mobo manufacturer. Try Gigabyte, MSI and ASUS. Otherwise, that's a pretty solid Rig you've got there. Try having a look at MSI's 560Ti [http://www.ebuyer.com/product/255699] if you have the extra cash.

EDIT: Try the Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 Motherboard [http://www.ebuyer.com/product/267506]. The mainboard is fairly important and this one will definitely give you a run for your money.

And to answer your question; you should be able to run everything though some games will need to be run on reduced settings. Good luck!

Pretty much everything. No. Everything.

There might be a few games that will need reduced settings like Metro 2033 if you are running them at 1920x1080 or above, but there isn't anything you should have a problem with.

NZXT cases notoriously suck. Sure they look flashy, but as for actual performance and cooling you might as well spill your components on the floor with a ceiling fan pointed at them. For the price, I recommend the Antec 300. Most solid and spacious case out there:

And no you don't need a different motherboard. Sure brands like MSI and Asus make better ones, but your build isn't going to die over it. ASrock makes well enough mobos

Let me just offset that opinion with my own testimony.
From my experience, NZXT provides plenty of space, great airflow, and reasonable levels of noise.

Also I don't know how many of you actually tried ASRock, but just because it isn't a big name brand doesn't mean it's not adequate.

protip: ASRock is owned by Asus.
My dad had an ASRock motherboard and it worked just fine. They're generally pretty low on features, but they function well enough.

The spec looks pretty much spot on to me. If you've got the money, 2500k, 560ti, 4Gb RAM is the only system you should be building at the moment.

Well that's not exactly right. My friend recently built his rig inside a NZXT Phantom Case [http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=25_238&products_id=15089] and let me tell you, it's feature-packed, spacey and looks awesome. It's one of the best full tower cases I've ever seen.

So no, NZXT do make good cases. Just make sure you get the right one.

Motherboard [http://www.ebuyer.com/product/267321]
Anything asus that uses the z68 chipset

the rest is subjective to what you like

That looks pretty good to me, but as others have said, if you are not overclocking, do yourself a favor and drop the fan. It really isn't needed. The processor and graphics card are all both (or at least quite close to) top of the line. I actually currently have both in my comp, and they work great. There are some places you might want to upgrade though. I personally would have gone for a 2TB or more hard drive (that might just be me though... I like having the security that all that extra space gives me...) and your ram is a bit low compared to all your other parts. Yes, 4GBs is enough to run pretty much all modern games, but you probably won't be able to run them at high, which is a strange combination with a pretty powerful processor and GPU. I would go for 8GBs personally.
