If someone would be kind to give advice to a inexperienced person who is about to build his first rig please do, because i am not sure if this is going to work or not. Make notice that i already got a HDD and mouse. Here is the pc parts i have chosen (Links and price are in Norwegian): Tower: Corsair Carbide 500R - 820,- PSU: Corsair TX750W - 845,- (''old one'' Cooler Master V1000 1000W ATX) Motherboard: Asus Z87-PRO - 1 549,- CPU: i5 4670K - 1 749,- GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX770 2GB OC - 3 390,- RAM: Kingston HyperX 4x4GB 1600MHz - 999,- (''old one'' Crucial BallistiX Sport Kit 2x8GB DDR3 1600MHz) SSD: Sandisk Ultra Plus 128 GB - 699,- (''old one'' Samsung 840 Basic 120GB) Cooler (CPU): coolermaster-hyper212evo - 269,- (''old one'' NZXT HAVIK 140 CPU) OS: Microsoft Windows 8 64-bit Norsk OEM - 799,- Screen: Asus VE247H - 1 490,- Keyboard: Razer Deathstalker - 629,- Total: 13 238,-
Ok, 1st off, the PSU is way over powered, get something like this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028 And you said AMD is more expensive than nVidia. It isn't. The cheapest hd 7970 is $329 (Guys, that's as much as a hd 7950. O_O Link.) The average price is more like ~$400. The cheapest GTX 770 (Not top of the line GTX 780) is $389. If you are going to fold seriously, and don't game on more than 1440/1600p screens, that AMD is worth it.
For him I'd recommend more of a Corsair TX750 or any SeaSonic 750w, just to give him room to upgrade.
Z87 is for the Haswell (1150) you have the Ivy bridge (1155) i5. About what bubble said; GTX770 is much better than the HD7970, it's slightly better than the GHz edition, but that costs more. My opinion would be to get the GTX770, because its Nvidia and there will be games with physx.
This is why i choose the nvidia card instead of AMD: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html and the gtx 770 is 600 NOK cheaper than the 7970 which doesn't make sense (isn't AMD supposed to be cheaper than Nvidia?). And i might look into a new PSU if i find one. I'm pretty sure that I5 is a Haswell (unless the internet is wrong?)... Edit: Sorry if my list confused you, it should be understandable now (i guess you did look at the wrong part).
There are 4 different generation i5's, first was socket 1156, 2nd is Sandy bridge which is 1155, 3rd is Ivy Bridge socket 1155, and lastly 4th gen Haswell which is socket 1150. Those numbers mean how many CPU pins there are, and you can't interchange them except Sandy and Ivy because it's the same socket. Haswell is the Z87 chipset, which isn't compatible with Z77 which is Sandy and Ivy (sockets and other things).
There was never a Socket 1366 i5. That was the equivalent to Socket 2011, its reserved for i7s and Xeons only. The first socket for the core architecture in the non-enthusiast level was 1156.
