Hey Villavu, trying to build a computer to play BF3 on ultra + DayZ and such, budget is arround $1300.

Current Build:

CoolerMaster HYPER-212-EVO $39
Antec Three-Hundred-Two $80
Silverstone ST75F-P $144
Intel I5 3570K $235
Corsair CML16GX3M2A1600C10 $115
ASRock Z77-EXTREME4 $140
Gigabyte GV-N670OC-2GD $449
Samsung MZ-7PC128B/WW SSD 128G 830 Series $106

Total: $1308

I'm just asking if all parts fit, such as is the RAM low enough? I know all the parts work well jus need to know if they fit, thanks.

Buying from: http://ijk.com.au/branch/ijk/shopping_cart.php

I'm picking up. :smile:

Your RAM does say it is compatible with 2nd/3rd gen i5, so you should be good on that.

It looks like a decent gaming build; I'd personally ditch the CPU fan for something better/else. The one you've got, in my opinion, is too cheap to be worth while; there's plenty of 60/80 dollar fans that look to be much better on newegg j/s

Yup the RAMs fine, thanks. The CPU fan is one of the best for its price! :smile: Goes easily to 4.5Ghz while overclocking, tackling any game with ease. :thumbsup:

Why IJK? Their prices are rip off and their service is quite poor. Walk like 100m down Liverpool Rd and you get to Computer Online, I've had much better experience with them (I live not too far).

$115 for 16gb ram… 16gb should only cost ~$75
Where's the hard drive?

I gave it a quick look and I'm pretty sure most things are compatible but you might want to double check with pcpartpicker.com

That site is expensive, does newegg ship to your location? If so buy from newegg.

NewEgg shipping would probably be more expensive to Australia. This is low profile RAM so it actually fits under the heatsink, and this site is actually quiet cheap. :smile:

hes using a ssd and the 115 for 16gb @ 1600 is maybe a tad bit over. the main sites i use are newegg, tigerdirect, amazon. 99% of the time amazon has the cheapest deals. make sure you check it out. i bought 16 gb 1600 for $90 on amazon…corsair vengeance…

ps: DO NOT BUY GIGABYTE BOARDS …. omg gigabyte can smd….

Yup, not need for hardrive. And as I said it's low profile RAM or else I could've gotten 16GB @ 1600 for $75, but those won't fit. ASRock Board. :thumbsup:

lolwut no need for a hard drive? I think you're ganna need a tad bit more than 128gb space.

You'll need atleast abouta tree fitty gb

Go with a SSD and harddrive. You are going to want the space!

IJK is horribly overpriced. Use PCCG or Umart if you live in SEQ

This, considering a hard drive for 1g is cheap, I'd just do that ;) But neb is good a finding edge-cutting deals

This.

I already have a 500GB external hardrive guys, so no need for that! Barely fill up currently 80GB even with OS + other programs so I'll be fine. :smile: IJK seems cheap though, btw IJK is the former uMART lol.
