Your probably gonna want to be in this area.

• Power Supply - 600W (800W if you plan on SLI or Crossfire)
• CPU - Intel Core i5, AMD FX-6100 (or better)
• Graphics Card - GeForce GTX 660, Radeon HD 7870 (or better)
• Memory - DDR3-1600 2x4GB

thanks, much appreciated

Memory - DDR3-1600 2x4GB

Note with 8Gb of RAM (which, IMO, is the "sweet spot" for today's systems) you will need a 64-bit operating system. I highly recommend 64-bit Windows 7 or Windows 8.

Thanks i will note that.

this what i thought for now:
- Intel core i7-3770
- Asus GeForce GTX 660-Ti

what about motherboard? I really dunno how to choose right one.
About power supply, storage and memory, any brand will do right?

Well, now you need to find a motherboard that supports that CPU. My favorite brand is Gigabyte, but I like ASUS too.

About power supply, storage and memory, any brand will do right?

Well for storage and memory, maybe, but not power. It is important to buy a quality supply from a reputable maker to ensure you are providing good, clean power to your system. I like Antec and Corsair supplies.

and he mention about boot drive, what is that? and how to use it?

Then your old PC does not work! A computer MUST have a boot device. The boot drive is the drive that has the operating system installed on it.

i mean he use SAMSUNG 64GB SSD 830 for boot drive and WD CAVIAR BLUE 500GB 7200RPM HDD for storage.
my old pc only have 1 160gb hdd storage, is it strange? but it works just fine

The vast majority of computers only have 1 drive.

checked gigabyte and asus motherboard and back....
i dont understand a thing :lol:
so i choose gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD4H (rev. 1.0) for motherboard based on price, is it compatible?

 

[yodap]

It's compatible with your processor but it may be a little older. Can you post a link to the place your looking to buy it?

Newegg is giving 8 gig memory with the UD5H.
