Hello and Thanks for reading,
Well, this thread is basicly like everyone elses, I'm building a new system and this is the first time I build one from scratch, so im hoping for a little feedback on the choices I made. Here is a list of what I have so far:
CASE: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1215768&sku=ULT31824
MOBO & CPU:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicat...details.asp?EdpNo=3827914&sku=MBM-G35EC-E8400
RAM:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3079597&sku=O261-7054
GRAPHIC CARD:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3048552&sku=P450-8650
CPU FAN:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2248794&sku=Q131-3020
SYSTEM FANS:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3478786&sku=ULT40144 x2
DVD/CD DRIVE:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3205935&sku=L12-1051
HARD DRIVE:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2268595&sku=TSD-320AS
PSU:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2974472&sku=ULT40073
OS:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2864281&sku=M17-7412
MONITOR:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4039830&sku=A179-2026
I have a couple of questions for anyone thats willing to answer them...
- first of all, are all the parts I have selected compatible?
- is it worth it to buy the motherboard and cpu in that bundle?
- is the psu overkill/too expensive?
- do i really need the cpu fan or is the one included enough?
- would i need to include a modem? I currently have a home network set up in our house, should I just run a cable to the new pc?
If I forgot anything or need something extra please let me know.
I was also planning on a budget of $1,000.00, which doesn't mean I have to spend that much, it's more of how much I'm willing to spend. Any advice on cutting corners but keeping performace to a max would be helpful. Oh, a mouse, keyboard and speakers were not included on purpose, I currently own some I'm going to be using with this build.
Just for reference I plan to use the pc mainly for gaming, i want to be able to run games like WoW and CoD4 on the best graphic setting available, I would also like to be able to multitask as much as possible, ex. surfing the web, downloading music/videos, playing a game, checking e-mails and just generally running multiple programs at once.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Gus
