ADDITIONAL PARTS

Hey Guys,

I'm trying to get more out of my computer for gaming and want to add a few things. (basically would love to run Battlefield 4 and the new games that will come out on ultra and smooth at 1080p)

I finally decided i want to try overclocking my CPU. I don't know much about it right now but trying to read online. My friend said I should get the Corsair H100i for cooling but I'm not even sure if i need that much or if it will even fit in my case. Or how liquid cooling works for that matter but i do wanna learn. if not can you recommend another case.

Also would my current mobo be enough for over clocking or should i replace it with the asus sabertooth mobo. I've seen alot of other rigs with this mobo.

i also finally plan on getting a SSD for my rig. Am i better off going for a raid of two 120 gigs or just one ssd of 256gig? or should i buy one 256gig and later on buying another 256gig for the raid. im thinking of the samsung 840 pro.

i may also get a gtx770 but my friend said a price drop may be coming soon. so not sure to hold off on it for now.

I greatly appreciate your advice in advanced. thank you

Heres my current set up:

i5 3750k ivy bridge

msi z7aa-g43 mobo

G.SKILL 16Gb DDR3 DDR3 1866

WD Blue 1TB 7200 RPM

SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold 650W ATX12V V2.3/EPS 12V V2.91

Corsair Carbide Series 200R

Nvidia GTX 660

The H100i won't fit inside the 200R. However, no need for a new case. JUst go for the Corsair H80i and you'll be pretty much set for cooling.

Also would my current mobo be enough for over clocking or should i replace it with the asus sabertooth mobo. I've seen alot of other rigs with this mobo.

It will be enough for a moderate overclock.

i also finally plan on getting a SSD for my rig. Am i better off going for a raid of two 120 gigs or just one ssd of 256gig? or should i buy one 256gig and later on buying another 256gig for the raid. im thinking of the samsung 840 pro.

For simplicity's sake, a single SSD. You really won't notice that much of a massive performance increase with a RAID 0 SSD array.

i may also get a gtx770 but my friend said a price drop may be coming soon. so not sure to hold off on it for now.

Definitely hold off for now since your GTX 660 isn't all that slow.
