Hello, i'm building my own computer and i was wondering if someone could take a look at these components i'm looking at to see if they are compatible with one another as i have no idea how to tell whether they are or not...
Also, if you know the area, could you tell me if this PC would run modern games on a highish setting (Anything higher than medium) on games like Crysis 2, and Battlefield Bad Co.2?
Core i5-2500K CPU and Radeon HD 6950 is a great combo for modern games. Good choices there.
CM HAF 922 Case, 8 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 RAM, WD Caviar Blue 500 GB 7200rpm SATA III HDD - all good choices there.
On the Sound Blaster Audigy SE Sound Card - I'm thinking hold off on adding a sound card and see if the motherboard on-board sound meets your requirements. I think it might and you can always add a sound card later.
The 24x USB External Slim CD-ROM Drive is a Read Only (ROM) optical drive.
You'll want an internal CD/DVD burner I think. Like LG 24X SATA CD/DVD burner
Did you want a LCD monitor with speakers included?
