These are my specs for a $1500 (give or take) gaming pc. Let me know what you think. One of my main concerns is the mobo. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time!

Its a lot easier if you actually type what they're instead of making people open 207530759375 links

Very nice system. Although for the price of that case I'd consider the Antec 900.

 

[slayeron444]

get the e8400 instead of the 8500. Just overclock the 8400 and you will save a few bucks.

 

[thepowerofdonuts]

If you're overclocking heavily, keep the 8500. It has a higher multiplier which will make it just a little bit easier.

I agree with slayeron444...the case does seem to be a little overpriced...but then again, cases are more of a personal opinion...

 

[huron]

The E8500 only has an extra 0.5 multiplier, so purchase it if it's worth having that extra 0.5. I'd go with the E8400, but it's up to you.

Thanks for all the responses! What monitor would you recomend? Also is my mobo good? Thats the only thing im not to sure about. I want the mobo to also be crossfire capable. Thanks again for all the help.

 

[thepowerofdonuts]

You picked an excellent motherboard for crossfire.
