That PSu is junk, so yo need a 500w PSu from antec, XFX, COrsair, Seasonic.

You need a GPU. Set aside $150+ for this.

These barebones kits are usually junk and not worth it as the come with one or two crap components. Like the PSU here. ALWAYS buy the parts individually.

You are missing the most important component of a GAMING PC and that is a discrete gpu......the build you linked doesn't have one.....Why don't you build one for yourself ???? You will get much better components for the same price

Your build is great too......But why a 1 gb card??...quite a few games nowdays require more than a gig of vram @ 1080p....Since your build is well within the budget you can add a 2 gb hd 7850 or even a hd 7870.....

A 2gb vs. a 1gb 7850 will yield little to no difference. The card will run out of steam so to speak before the Vram becomes an issue. On higher end cards like a 2gb vs. 4gb gtx680 you will see a difference but down on the lower end of stuff the card simply cannot even use all the Vram, making it worthless to have 2gb over 1gb.

Many 1 gb hd 7850s have had issues due to low vram in certain games like skyrim....So for future games its always better to be on the safer side and get a the 2 gb version instead ( after all its only a few bucks more)....

Do you have any DATA to prove this? I went from a 2gb hd7870 to 1gb gtx560s in SLI and saw no change at all. I run some texture mods as well. No difference.

The 7850 just isn't powerful enough to fully utilize 2gb Vram. No reason not to get it if it is cheap, but it won't give much if any performance gains at all.

See this.....Scroll down the page and you'll see a chart (below the gtx 650ti chart) which shows the performance of a 1gb hd 7850 relative to the 2gig version and you'll see the 2 gig version take a massive lead over the 1gb card...

You must be looking at the chard incorrectly. That shows the 2gb card being 1-5% WORSE than the 1gb card. The only place it made any difference was skyrim which is coded MUCH differently from most all other games.

2gb will be the minimum Vram required in 2 years or so, but currently not many games make that much use of it unless the card is much more powerful.
