Hey, first off I wanna emphasize how much I appreciate the tech advice that oozes from these forums, and the users themselves! The last few years I've been set on a laptop, but am looking to build a new pc (primarily for gaming). Im budgeted 700-750 to spend, and have put together the following setup (all via newegg):
COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 -$55
Western Digital Caviar SE WD1600AAJS 160GB - 445
MSI NX8800GT 512M OC GeForce 8800GT 512MB - $160
hec HP585D RETAIL 585W ATX12V Power Supply - $26
OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 1066 - $137
Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 Wolfdale 2.53GHz - $131
ASUS P5K DELUXE/WIFI-AP LGA 775 Intel P35 - $130
2x LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner - 48
Total after shipping : $732
It meets my budget, I'm just curious as to whether all the parts are on par with one another (Ram, Processor, Video), and if certain upgrades/downgrades would be sufficient/recommended.
Thanks boatloads for any help!
