Hello everyone, so I´m making this little build http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Santurs/saved/#view=tcZp99
What do you thing? Is for my girl, she doesn´t play hard games and don´t use heavy editing programs, only things like WoW, adobe ilustrator and thats it, I use both GPU and CPU just to make sure nothing will suffer.
Thank you for your opinion, you can give some option too :)

-2x4gb ram is ideal. ddr3 ram is dual channel and works more efficiently with your board in pairs. a pair is $6 more for better quality sticks.
-the evo is a excellent ssd, but in this budget i'd recommend the crucial bx200 240gb. its the same price or less and has similar read speads, but lower writes.
-you are super overpaying for that power supply. wayyy too expensive.

Agree fully with N3rdR4ge. (For once)

For the point with the SSD, I would recommend actually getting a WD10EZEX hard drive instead. Illustrator files would take quite a bit of space. Also, there's no point in restarting the computer if it's a desktop, therefore the SSD boot time is quite wasted here.

And as for the PSU, OP's not overpaying for it. It's a decent SFX unit, different from the regular ATX stuff. The only SFX options are SilverStone, Athena Power, SeaSonic, and Sparkle. None of those provide above 450W or have decent quality.

Didnt notice about the 1gbx8 Ram, thanks, actually it doesnt matter the sdd because i can give her one of my extras Hard drives, but the oly thing that makes me worried about is the Psu, do you really think it is too much?

Just notice this, I will make the changes, does the Bronze/gold certification really makes any difference?

W7 ultimate, because I got the cd installer for free :D
I was thinking in the 120gb SDD but if you got any suggestions feel free to share.

I will change the SSD or maybe get a little one just for OS and a Hard drive for all, what do you think?
So you recommend to not change the psu?
Thank you for your help.
