  • Need your opinions on a custom gaming PC

i am totally lost now.
everything is ok for me except the case and power supply (don't know what i want)
every till now costs about 1900$ so i still have about 250$ may pay 300$.
so what do you suggest ? (give names and model numbers)
Corsair Vengeance C70 and Antec EA-750 Platinum. Tt have poor QC, someone may recommend them because he got a good unit, but you may not be so lucky, Antec is top notch, has Japanese capacitors while being the same price if not less than the Tt, do yourself a favor and get the Antec.
Not sure about the Kingston SSD. Maybe try to get Samsung 840/850 pro/evo - whatever best performance you can get.
SSD performance varies. If it's performance you want look up SSD performance don't buy just any one.
I'm not sure about the Kingston but in general the Samsung series that I mentioned are the best ATM - in an affordable price bracket.
Of course you can pay much more and get the absolute best in SSD but it's not in your budget.

HyperX (a Kingston subdivision) has the HyperX Savage which beats the 850 EVO in most benchmarks, it's not noticeable in real life but wouldn't you pay 1 more dollar to get an SSD with MLC instead of TLC ?
Trust me, get the Tt v71. it is one of the better thermaltake cases , has a beautiful side panel window (full window) , 95% of openings are filtered with high quality removable dust filters (yes, even top exhaust), removable drive cages, comes with 3 200mm blue led fans (led can be turned on/off, speed adjustable with pre-installed fan controller) and a single 140mm fan, big feet so it sits high (4 cm above the ground). believe me, bought this case 2 months ago, best Tt case i ever had, i have to tell you though, it's HUGE and the side panel window is quite easily scratched, so be careful. in addition to the awesome cable management for ATX and mATX, rear mountable hard drive cages, and full mesh front and top covers (both removable of course) , this case is just packed with features. watch NCIXs review on it, you wont be disappointed. I could post a pic of my v71 rig if you want a real life example.
i contacted the store today and settled my mind on the tt core v71 and thoughpower gold 750w i will get all the parts by Monday but may delay till Tuesday i will post pics as soon as i receive and mount all the parts together. thank you all for your help.
and Anthony2000 post a pic of your rig running.

I don't know what MLC and TLC are. I just made a research about 2 month ago, and decided for the 850 pro 128 GB. On a Crystalbench it had read and write speeds of about 400MB/s. But after buying it, I can only get about 250 on my laptop, most probably a bottleneck somewhere (FSB most probably)(EDIT: actually no it's SATA 3Gb/s - as opposd to 6Gb/s that is the bottleneck. All the interfaces on my latptop are friggin outdated, that'd the main problem - I don't even have USB3 or 1GB networking!). My laptop is not the fastest thing around - but good for what I do, and still way faster of some shiny flashy "entry level" laptops nowadays that Toshiba (and surely others) are trying to sell to "common people".

Anyway the impression that emerged from my research is that Samsung does a lot of good SSDs. Before that I had a 64GB Kingston SSDNow drive. I bought it a little after buying my laptop, maybe 3 or 4 years ago, without much research. It is still better than the stock disk, but not a fast SSD by today's standard - even by 2012 standards. And I'm sure they're still selling such SSDs because people will buy them (like I did) without much research.

So I'm not claiming this is better then that, I'm sure Kingston also does some very fast stuff.

The least I can say is that SSD speed can quite differ from one model to another, so make sure to research, that's all.
For the rest feel free to take my advice or not.
If you feel like saving some bucks, i have a Thermaltake Armor A90 in excellent condition (as good as new) with all its original fans
and in case you are wondering about the GPU clearance i took the measurement kindly check the below picture

@Anthony2000 how are you doing mate, thats a very good looking rig there man, nice to see that my Tt Frio is in good hands :D
Do anyone know the store called gcs computers pro in sarba?
I looked at the prices he offered and they are lower than the prices offered by all of the stores i looked at.
His website is still under construction and i didn't find any products at it but i mailed him and he replied quickly.
Would you recommend buying from him?
Yes, i know him, he is awesome and trustworthy, and has a wide variety of items
Good i will order all the parts from him soon maybe by monday

@hassansaleh31

Good Final List

What about the OS + UPS + Sound System + LG 24MP56HQ Wide 23.8" LED IPS Full HD / Wide Viewing Angle instead of the 22 + will you mod your case with a led strip +Are you attending to Overclock

+I recommend you to get an MS Xbox 360 Joystick (Wireless) since some not FPS will be a headache using a keyboard and a mouse + if you get crack games (to save some Dollars & Internet Traffic & Time on the Download of 60 GB + Games from Steams ) aside of Steam ((Mainly Nino Stores - Malah) you need to get a Pioneer BDR-209DBK 16X DVDRW Blu-ray SATA - Wicher 3 and GTA 5 are a must have

+Get another 5m HDMI cable and a Display Port (Male) to HDMI (Female) or DVI (Male) to HDMI (Female) Adaptor to link for the other MSI GTX 980 output peripherals and link it to your home 50inch LED TV and enjoy some graphic fidelity on NVidia 1440p DSR beside to your main screen
os will be windows 8.1
i have a sound system i will use
i will try to get the 23.8" screen (when im bargaining ;) )
yes i have the white led strips i will mod it with
i'm still not sure about overclocking i may do it later (don't think will benifit from it for gaming)
i will buy the ms xbos 360 joystic later
thanks for reminding me with the disk drive i almost forgot
i will get those cables (they are a must have)
gta v is one of my best games ever (completed it on my ps3 months ago)
the first games i will get will be fps like battlefield(dying to play it online), call of duty
i'm also dying to play assassin's creed unity and rogue (i completed all previous ac games)
gta v is a must have
and i'm waiting for the new mass effect (my ever favorite game series)
