Got a few parts in for my htpc build;
Asus Z77A mobo
i5 3570k
Samsung evo 250gb (OS drive)
SeaSonic M12II 520w
Just need ram (8gb any recommendations for this board?), a hard drive (3tb), gpu (I think I'm set on a gtx 760), a case, and cpu cooler.
For the OS, I still can't decide between 8.1 or 7. I have 7 on my other gaming pc, it's quick, stable, no issues with games, but I keep reading 8 is even faster still. Are there issues with games on 8? I plan on gaming quite a bit with this machine since it's essentially going to be my "next gen" gaming box / PC.
