This is my first build, I have put together a list of what i think will work well together, but if you can improve it I would love to see how. I want a gaming pc for <$1000 I will overclock it at some point but probably ~6 months later so I can save some more money to get a good heat sink and fans. Also The MoBo I picked has onboard graphics, can that be used in parallel with the HD 5770 or not? I would also appriciate if you could point out any potential bottlenecks.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: in the next 6 weeks
BUDGET RANGE: <$1000
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: gaming mostly
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: I need EVERYTHING, please let me know if i left something out
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: whatever has the best deal I guess, this build is from newegg
PARTS PREFERENCES: no loyalties, I chose AMD because i think it's more budget minded but feel free to prove me wrong
OVERCLOCKING: not initially, but I did pick the black edition processor so I can OC later
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: not initially, but maybe at some point
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1440x900 is the monitor in this build, but only because it seemed budget friendly, if you can do better I would like some input.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I'm not sure how these will all work together, I don't want any components that are way ahead or way behind the others. And I want it run safely without worrying about heat, but not ready for liquid cooling or anything
