New i5 $800 Build Look over :UPDATE:

Hello All

I posted a build last night and it got me thinking even harder so, i hope to do a i5 intel build
BUDGET: 800$
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: This week possibly
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: MMOs Gaming, Surfing, Movies standard stuff
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS , Dvd R/W
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg
PARTS PREFERENCES: Intel Nvidia based
OVERCLOCKING: Yes to CPU, & Video if possible But not a must
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1440x900

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I couldn't find any Amp at 12V for the Video card. So i need to know if the power supply is hoss enough to do the job. Also i need a relatively small Case to fit in the spot so ive picked a Mini-ATX case, but worry about all the parts fitting in it, i know cooling will be compromised, But it is a trade off on size cost and heat, and i need size as long is all this fits.

Ok heres what i got comes in at $ 785.91 W/ FREE SHIPPING i have several combo deals in this and i still think its a better PC than the previous build attempt

can we get any better and keep it where its at or cheaper cost wise



2 Questions remain
1: Will this memory work well?
2: will all this cram in that box

The GTX 260 is a pretty long card and the Hyper 212 is a big CPU cooler. I am not sure if they fit in that case or not. I found it on coolermasters website and there is only 10 inches. I think the 260 is 10.5 inches like my 9800 GTX+. I just dont think that case is big enough.

You could probably go with the radeon hd 5850 which is far more powerful than a 260, has dx11 support for future games and is only 9 inches long.

You could drop the CPU cooler to the 92mm Coolermaster TX3

He already hade a post and was getting help http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] ild-please was no need to make a 2nd post

I have a few suggestions to bring down the cost.

First here is the same kind of psu with 700w for $10 less after rebates.
OCZ ModXStream 700w $50 after MIR

Here is a combo deal that is definitely worth it. I5-750 + Gigatyte GA-P55M-UD4 (Much better MB than the one you posted)
$320 for the combo..just scroll down the link and you will see it.

I would also switch that harddrive to the Samsung F3 500gb for $50.

Ya i was worried about the case not being big enough for the video. im adjusting and looking for a diffrent case
also, while i have seen many great reviews from Radon i simply cannot bring my self to buy a ATI card i have bought 3 and all died on me 1 out of box, 1 after 2 mo, and the last after 6mo, i no longer am willing to risk it. and ive never had a Nvidia card die on me...maybe its just luck of the draw but im gun shy now on them.

Good catch on the Cooler i'll change my list out for it TY

and another case suggestion TY for it

See my guide, linked in my sig or stickied at the top of the forum. Also see my big list of parts, in my sig, for a list of PSUs.

mATX has become a very popular avenue and because this form factor is so popular now MB makers are catering to it. There are disadvantages, not so much in the board itself but in the smaller cases, since they tend to have fewer fans. The only difference in the boards is the absence of a couple expansion slots... and most users never need those.

The last time I needed more than three expansion slots was on an ISA board... SCSI, sound, GPU, I/O.... well, that was a long time ago. Not that I use a mATX board right now, but I could easily.

So, there are a few mATX cases that will accommodate longer video cards and have adequate cooling. Not many, but some.

Did you have some further question?

The 650 is a bit over kill for the setup but its nice to have some headroom.

I still like the samsung F3 500 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6822152181



Other then that it looks nice

I really like WD HDD, never hade one go bad on me. The samsung is a grate HDD for the price and its fast, Alot of people recommend them for the good bang for the buck.

I hade saegates in the past, Never could keep one over a year and a half.
