all items are from newegg fyi

All other parts are fine, but I would recommend a better heatsink;

This one for $22 is superior to the one you have picked
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835150082

If you want more than that, I would personally choose this one for $34

For future reference, it makes it a lot easier to check things if you post links, and you'll likely get a lot more replies.

This build goes about $20 over budget before rebates, but would perform considerably better.

Building a new system around an LGA 775 CPU and DDR2 RAM doesn't make a lot of sense because they're both nearing EOL. You'll have a much better upgrade path with an AM3/DDR3 build.

 

[ubernoobie]

get that xclio crap psu ourt of there, you can fry all your parts when it dies so put a quality seasonic or ultra oem based power supply

 

[4745454b]

Why is the GPU so much? $225 for a 512MB 4870? Look a bit more for the $150 ones. XCLIO PSUs are junk, get a better one. Only other issue I see is the ECS mobo. I'm not sure how good it is. You might want to look for reviews.

 

[pepperman]

Sorry forgot to mention, but the AS ceramique you have listed is for permanent mountings only (it means that you'll have a hell of a time removing your heatsink if you ever upgrade, or rebuild). It's actually designed for gpus and chipsets that don't get replaced very often.
You won't need it anyway if you use the stuff that comes pre-applied on the heatsink (it's not that bad, btw). Especially if you get the AC fan, the thermal paste on the bottom is equivalent to AS 5.

 

[thunderbi112]

thanks a ton btw

ok i changed out most of the parts

will this dvd burner work ok http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136144

I cant afford the ripjaw memory yet so im going to purchase this kind instead http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227346

i know its not as good but ill upgrade later

but will this kind work ok with my system

and is the video card i picked a good enough or is there a better one for around the same price

 

[4745454b]

There should be the same at much cheaper, or much better at the same price.

 

[shortstuff_mt]

I wouldn't get an IDE DVD burner for a new build. They should have stopped making IDE drives years ago. Get a SATA model instead.

I'm not all that impressed with the specs or reviews of that OCZ Gold kit. This DDR3 1333 kit is $1 more, but has free shipping:

[thunderbi112]

ok i changed out the dvd burner and memory how can i make my desktop run cooler if i plan to oc

the case doesnt have anymore fan slots

how can i cool off all the parts i dont mean a heatsink for cpu or something
i mean like adding an extra fan to the case to get better ventilation or somethink like that i can spend max of 50 on it

 

[shortstuff_mt]

The Antec 300 Illusion only costs $5 more and comes with two front intake fans.

Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail $59.95

Extra case fan's won't help very much with cooling an overclocked CPU, though. You should get an aftermarket CPU cooler if you're wanting to play around with overclocking.

Is that a Dark Knight that hasnt been colored black, and the Balder is the same thing colored shiny nickel? They are all model# s1283.

 

[shortstuff_mt]

That's basically the difference. The one I linked also doesn't come with an Intel CPU backplate. It's the best option for an AMD build since it's cheaper and actually cools slightly better than the Dark Knight. The coating on the Dark Knight actually slightly reduces it's cooling capability.
