Advice for Building a Gaming Computer

[Zenophilious]

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that helped me out.  I definitely would not have been able to do this by myself.  As of now, I'm posting from my own desktop    I somehow managed not to break something while putting it together, so I'll take that as a success.

Congrats. Could you post your final build/parts?

 

 

Are you having the desire to overclock? I know later on, Intel locked on the multiplier on H87 so no overclocking, but depending on which BIOS revision it is, it still possible to overclock using this particular board especially since you got the unlocked CPU.

Good job!

My final build is on the first page, but I'll repost the link here, too.  http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Zenophilious/saved/46pG  I didn't mess with the BIOS settings because they kinda intimidated me  -_-  All I did was make it so that I could boot Windows 7 from my flash drive.  I didn't feel too confident with changing much else without someone making sure I don't seriously screw up my computer.  I don't think I'm gonna overclock it, at least not right now.
