New Sistem Build

[viktor911]

Im building a new system which I hope I can use in the next 3-5 years. Its gonna be used mainly for gaming and some programming/photo editing stuff. My budget is 1300USD.

GIGABYTE P55M-UD2
INTEL CORE i5-750, 2.66GHz, 8MB, BOX, LGA1156
A-DATA 3 x 1GB DDR III 1600
WD 640GB 7200 32MB SATA II Black Edition
SAPPHIRE 1024M HD5770 HDMI DDR5 PCI-E
LG 22" W2261VP, 2ms, 50 000:1, 300 cd/m2, DVI, HDMI
PSU Black Diamond 500W
CASE Cooler Master ELITE 335

Here at my local shop its about 1200USD. Is it perfect performance wise for 1.2k and is it going to be available to cope with everything in the next 1-2 years???

Thanks

also im from europe and I cant get stuff from bestbuy u

You do not want to use a triple channel RAM kit with that build. Your CPU uses a dual channel RAM controller so you'll want a 2x2GB setup.

I would also ditch the PSU for a quality unit. The PSU is the most important component in a computer. A cheap PSU will cause all sorts of problems ranging from system instability to fried components. You should look for a PSU from a quality manufacturer like Corsair, Seasonic, PC Power & Cooling, or Antec.

what about the mobo/cpu/video card/hdd combination. is it good for its money ?

Upgrade the PSU
Use 2 x 2GB RAM (CAS 8 or better)
Use a 500 GB per platter drive like the F3, 7200.12 or WD Black 2 TB model.
