I just realised that the WD Black Hard Drive isn't available until Monday (4 Days). I will just wait until Monday to buy the parts.

I want to take the opportunity to fully thank you guys. Without your help, I would still be buying an iMac. :roll:

You have helped me endlessly and I thank you so much for that. My true life as a gamer is just about to begin.

Once I am all set up, I will upload some pictures and give you an update. :D

Extremely grateful,

GamerGal13579

Thanks for all the help. I will search around for some speakers.

I am going to put up a reviewed list of parts on a new thread. :)

Thanks for the help.

I checked up and the lower quality webcam is supposedly a very good one. I will get that.

I will also go for the 2TB WD Black and keep the RAM and PSU.

Now, the only thing left is the speakers.... I might be able to check up on some online reviews. Any help is appreciated though :D

Thanks for your help with the card!!!

Now, some last minute things to sort out.

1. I am getting the Corsair Vengeance CML16GX3M2A1600C10 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 RAM.

(http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=186_218_1125&products_id=21249)

Is there anything wrong with it because I think that someone said I could get better quality. They might have just meant size (32GB) though.

2. I was browsing the forum when I saw a conversation about WD Green and Black Hard Drives.

At the moment, I was going to get the Western Digital WD Green 3TB WD30EZRX

(http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=210_344&products_id=17275)

I saw that people were saying that the Black versons are better. Should I go for the Western Digital WD Black 2TB WD2002FAEX instead?

(http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=210_344&products_id=16482)

What would be the speed/quality difference? Or should I not go for a Western Digital at all?

3. I am getting the Seasonic G-650 80Plus Gold 650W Power Supply.

(http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_972&products_id=21503)

Do I need more power for my rig? And is this a good quality power supply?

4. And I am still very confused about what speakers to go for. Are there any on this page that are close to or under $50? As good quality as possible.

I know that this is quite an ask but I don't really want to spend too much on them as I will hardly be using them. Just for the occasional YouTube with siblings but apart from that, all headset.

(http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=567_571)

5. Will the Logitech C270 HD Webcam be fine instead of the Logitech C920 HD Pro Webcam?

C270 - (http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=17562)

C920 - (http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=20151)

I will be using it every once in a while for Skype video calls but that is about it. I will also need it for a microphone when I am not using a headset. Is the microphone quality good? What about video quality?

Thanks for all of your help!!! Once these things are sorted out, I will put up a reviewed list of components. :D

I will get the MSi motherboard but the 7970 lightning edition is not on PC Case Gear.

Only the MSI Radeon HD7950 3GB Twin Frozr III Boost Edition - $329

(http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1311&products_id=22854)

I want the best quality graphics possible but I have only ever had a Macbook Air, which couldn't even play games.

Any improvement will be awesome. And any money saved aswell. Is it worth it to go for the 7950 or should I just get the lightning from a different place.

It would be quite inconvenient though :|

What would the quality/speed differences between the 7970 and the 7950?

Gigabyte Radeon HD7970 GHz Edition 3GB - $469

(http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1309&products_id=20995)

Is this one a 2-slot card? I can save a few dollars by getting it. And I won't have to change to a 7950. Is it a good card?

And I'm not really sure what tabs I am looking for

What about the MOBO's?

Which one?

I can only see a few 3 slot MOBO's that are around the same price range as the Extreme6.

MSI Z77A-GD80 Motherboard - $199

(http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=138_1183&products_id=20422)

Gigabyte G1 Sniper M3 Motherboard - $179

(http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=138_1183&products_id=20035)

Are either of these good and if so, which one of them is better? 

Am I mistaken or did it say that the sniper one comes with a good quality sound chip or something for headsets? 

Which of these cards only takes up two slots?

(http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=193_1309)

Not really sure what to look for.

Will the Logitech C270 HD Webcam be fine instead of the more expensive one? It is only $28

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=17562

I am going to get the ASRock Z77 Extreme6 Motherboard instead of the PRO-4. Not much of a price difference.

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=138_1183&products_id=19870

I will keep the sound card. So go for stereo speakers instead????
