New Member and New RIG!

First of all I'd like to introduce myself, I am a hardworking student and plays some sports like Basketball and Paintball, I enjoy hanging out with my close friends, chilling and talking. I like helping out people, helping other people succeed while succeeding with them. When not doing these i tend to play FPS games.

Gaming helps me out harness my competitive and teamwork side. Started out when i was eight, CS ; Condition Zero it is. Played a lot of LAN Parties, I was hungry for more, till then i played competitively. Moved on to 1.6 and then Source, looking forward to build a new RIG for CS;GO.


Anyways, lets get to the Tech part! 😄

THE RIG ITSELF.

Motherboard : ASUS Maximus V GENE Z77
GPU : ASUS GTX 660 Ti Overclocked Edition
CPU : Intel i5-3570k
RAM : Corsair Vengeance Red 8GB
PSU : Corsair Professional Series HX 750 Watt 80+ GOLD Modular
HDD : Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB SATA
SSD : SAMSUNG 830 Series 64 GB SATA
CASE : Cooler Master HAF XM

EXTRA PERIPHERALS FOR THE RIG.

CPU COOLER : Corsair H100 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
EXTRA FANS : Corsair Air Series AF120 Performance Edition x2 (Will add on to the Radiator of the H100)
EXTRA FANS : Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition x2 (Will add to the back of the Case and add to the front mesh)

PERIPHERALS.

MOUSE : Logitech G9x
KEYBOARD : Razer BlackWidow
M. MAT : SteelSeries QcK (BLACK)
MONITOR : ASUS VW246H 24-Inch Full-HD LCD Monitor

Yes you might be wondering, why is there a Monitor, Mouse, Keyboard and the Mat in there? It's because i'm starting from scratch, i will be setting up my rig with those new Peripherals.

Would try to 'OC the i5-3570k but would need some help, and where can i buy sleeved cables for my Modular PSU? 😉

Thank you for taking the time to help me out! RoG is far out an awesome community.

1080p = 1920 x1080 😛

The ASUS GTX 660 Ti Overclocked Edition is a solid performer for gaming at 1080p. Just try it out first. If you find that it doesn't meet your gaming expectations, then drop another one in for SLI.

Or

Step it up a notch and get the GTX 670. 😛

okay! Thank you guys!

If you're going to stay playing CS:GO a 660ti will easily run it at 1080p at 60fps. If you're ever going to change to a AAA game with high graphics at ultra i.e BF3, either 2 660ti in SLI or a 680 will be needed for 60 fps.
