Good Build?

u'll be able to game with that. should last you for a little while. but the way technology changes who knows how long it'll last.

Looks fantastic to me. You might think about a better power supply though. Not more watts, better quality. Especially if you'll be overclocking. I'm not familiar with the quality of raidmax but it never hurts to spring for a really good powersupply. Its arguably the most important part of the entire computer.

Alright um about the power supply I was thinking that too but I read reviews of that on newegg (case w/ psu is 5/5 eggs thats rare) I also have a friend with the same case and his psu has been doing fine but If I didnt want to spend more money you think that the psu would handle it?

i always go with branded PSU like seasonic, Akasa, Hiper, ect
but if your a budget as long as it above 450 you should be fine

so does your budget stretch intel?

much better options

PS: im not from the US, but your American shopping site are really confusing to navigate

well my video card is pci-e 2.0 and a motherboard for that is more than 60 dollars like I said im going to update when amd comes out with a quad core at a value

i dont knoiw about the '+' but the AM2 has been around a while.

pci ex 2.0 and 1 are backwards are forward compatible and it doesnt make a huge difference, see the THG article.

im not trying to put AMD down you just going to waste money. admittedly it wont be slow, but it could be 2x as fast

oh yeah the + is the new socket they made for the quad cores and i guess im pretyty much amd for life idk why ive had good experiences with one and bad with the other they might be better now but idk

dude i just checked those and comparing a 100 dollar processor to a 200 dollar processor the amd even won in some categories

LOL no, it won't run Crysis at max settings, unless you like viewing slideshows instead of actually playing the game.

I HAVE NO IDEA I THOUGH I WAS DOING THE 5000, any that reinforces the point as the 500 is even worse

yeah and 100 dollars less is i wanted to spend 100 dollars more its not the best to compare something for 200 dollars to something 100 dollars

@skilzdatkilz2
Are you planning to OC?

@skilzdatkilz2

The reason why I ask, is if your not going to OC, then you shouldn't get the B/E 5000+. It doesn't come with a heat sink, and it has an unlock multiplier that is designed for it.

If your really wanting to use AMD, go with : AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Windsor 3.2GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM2 125W Dual-Core Processor

It comes with a stock HS, and is basically the fastest CPU they offer, and you wouldn't have to worry about OC at all.

Edit:

And, heh, I didn't see a HS listed for parts.

socket 754/939/940 doesn't = am2 so they won't work.
depends on what price range you're looking at. The tuniq tower 120 is popular as is the zalman 9700. those are on the expensive side but they are among the best. if you're looking for cheap, i'd go the arctic cooling 64 pro route.

Personally I am a bit of an AMD fanboi but I think an Intel rig might realistically be a better option these days if you want to do a bit of gaming. PCIe 2.0 is nothing (1-2% performance difference - within margin of error). Get one of the now bumped down 65nm Core 2's with heatsink:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819115014
With a decent case (RE airflow - see below) that CPU will overclock to 3.5Ghz or so... At that level and with a 2Mb cache AMD Athlon 64's are left in the dust. For a new build AMD is a waste of money...

That case is rubbish. If you look at the airflow... Well there isn't enough!! 80mm fans do not shift enough air... Your 8800GT will quietly cook in that case (notice it blows air out all around it - mainly right back into the case!!)
Also check out the "camouflaged" Newegg negative reviews for the case:

If you have to budget yourself on the case get something like:

You want a better PSU!! Corsair, Hyper, Antec... Anything but that piece of Raidmax crap!!
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817371006
You will notice has very few negative reviews on Newegg and this PSU is very efficient (has the 80 PLUS certification).
Spend less than this and you system is liable to have lots of bad days and give you a high electricity bill!

Get a 8800GTS

For aircooling it is the better choice as air is drawn from the case over the heatsink and exhausted at the back of the case.
The price difference is very small now for the improved cooling and gaming performance. With EVGA you also get the Step-up program to upgrade to a better GPU within 90 days.

It's a bit ridiculous to expect to get a high end PC for $600, but what I would do for now is get some good basics. Make your motherboard future-proof and leave room for expandability.

You didn't even include your OS, if I'm right.

That'll be nice you get the x2 5000BE and a acrtic 64 pro fan

Throw down 7 more dollars and get the 'freezer 64 pro'. From what i've heard it's the best low-cost HSF.
It's up to you though. ANY hsf will keep your cpu from frying.

I don't understand... You post asking if the parts you listed provide the best bang for the buck, yet then you post 2 hours later that you've "already ordered these parts 2 days ago." What was the point of this post if you've already ordered the parts?

Yes it would be quite terrible to turn it on without a CPU fan.
