Need feedback on my first gaming pc build
Last response: in Systems
Hello, I'm planning on trying to build my first pc. I plan on using this for gaming purposes.
I've read around and spent hours on how to build a new computer, and I'm pretty sure I can do it, so here is a list of parts, and links.
Feel free to criticize and leave feedback on the parts I chose.
These are all from newegg.com and my budget is around 700-800 max including a moniter
thermaltake mid tower case $60 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
pentium e5200 $70 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
gigabyte ep43 $80 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
WD 500g 3.0sata $65 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
apevia 500w $20 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
asus radeon hd 4850 512mb ddr3 2.0 $95 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
lg optical drive $25 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
artic cooling freezer 7 $32 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
artic silver 5 $9 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
hannsg 19" ws $110 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
vista home premium 64bit $100 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
ocz 2X2gb ddr 1066 $41 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
microsoft d58 mouse $19 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
So, all together it costs around 780 including monitor, mouse, keyboard, wrist strap, and shipping which is right around my maximum budget of $800.
I got the aftermarket cpu fan and compound because I plan to overclock it for games (if I can figure out how to =P).
So, there it is. Feedback or anything greatly appreciated before I check out my shopping cart????

I think you have a decent build there and when you start overclocking it will have very decent performance .
The two changes i would make would be download the RC of windows 7 as already suggested . Vista is already history.
And your power supply might be cheap but its also not that good . Cheap psu is a bad call since it wont feed clean power to the rest of the computer
Spend some of the money you save by not buying vista and get
either

antec earth watts 500 W
or
SeaSonic SS-500ET 500W
