Hi, I'm building my first Gaming PC and I pretty much have the parts picked out, but I would like some feedback on them
I already have a monitor, keyboard/mouse, and speakers.
If you are suggesting a build, try to keep it in the $800-$900 range. Also, note that in the parts I am choosing, don't add up the prices you find online because I'm using mail-in rebates.
I might want to overclock later on and I'm not thinking of Crossfire/SLI.
CPU: I'm trying to choose between AMD Phenom II X4 940 or 955.
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P
RAM: OCZ Reaper 4GB (2X2GB) DDR2 1066
Graphics Card: Gigabyte Radeon HD4870 1GB
Hard Drive: Western Digital 500GB
Optical Drive Samsung S223F DVD/CD Combo writer
Case: Coolermaster RC-690
PSU: OCZ ModXStream 700W
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit w/ Windows 7 coupon
(Is this cheaper than buying Windows 7 outright)
Wireless Adapter: Recertified Linksys WMP300N (Please don't forget to critique this)
My monitor is a Acer 23" Widescreen. I'm planning to play games like World in Conflict and Supreme Commander at Med-High settings.
Thanks.
