I had some hardware issues with my old box, and decided that it was time to upgrade. I'm looking at picking up a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H and Intel i5-3570K, and re-use the following components for the time being:
- Xigmatek Gaia cooler (should suffice for a bit of OC).
- 8 GiB (4x2) G.Skill DDR3 1600.
- EVGA GTX 470 (to be replaced as budget permits, perhaps with a 660 Ti).
- Antec EarthWatts EA750.
- A half-dozen drives, plus optical.
- Antec Three Hundred case and a bunch of fans.
The mobo and CPU are on the recommended list, so I imagine that it should be a painless operation. Leaving aside the somewhat outdated GPU, does this seem reasonable?
