Guild Wars 2

All the parts are looking good but some changes would make it better… As posters above me stated 660ti SLI would be a better choice and that powersupply will be enough. CPU is quite good one but are you really gonna overclock it? IF not dont go with the h100 because its just silly also you might wanna consider not getting a Kversion i7 because you wont use the unlocked multiplier. As for SSD Im using 128g Vertex 4 they are quite good but if you will stick to the Crucial get 256gb versions tho. As for the Sound card yeah that card is pretty good but do you really need it? As for gaming and daily music needs are satisfied with the onboard ones and I believe sabertooth has a quite good chip in it.

AMD Radeon 7950 u got the same performance of the Gtx 580 for half the price

Most things have been covered by others, not needing a dedicated sound card, way to much p/s. However I have to ask…

If you aren’t going to OC why the heck do you need a 3rd party cooler? Just make sure your case has enough fan power and your mobo has enough connections for the fans.

I recently built my comp and like you I was way out of the loop as my most recent experience was also from the 90s. I also copied a comp list, but I just used that to help research. Since I was mainly shopping from Newegg I used their forums and user base to help with questions like you have here.

Another thing…if you watch videos and I assume like most people you will have music and photos at some point, you only have an SSD for your drive unless I overlooked something? Might want to get a decent HD for large file storage as a seperate drive. Just a thought.

Just finished putting the build together a few hours ago. Finishing up with updating the drivers and installing GW2 and WoW. Just one thing though, i went to msi.com to update my graphics card drivers but it was taking forever just to DL 200mb. Is there somewhere else that i can get the drivers?

I went with the Msi GTX 680 Twin Frozrsomething if that makes any difference.
