Ok that is what I wanted till i started adding it all up lol. Any suggestions for cutting cost alittle? I not sure if i need that much of a powersupply, but like the modular PSU type. I have had amd in the past and want to go with intel this time allso

My main use of computer will be for games (world of warcraft, 1st person shooters type games).. I want to build something that will hold out for a few years.

Thanks for any suggestions

Hi newcomer and welcome to the Tom's hardware forum.

What is your budget?

1- I would switch the PSU for this, is bette for a less price.
2- Maybe the ANTEC 300 can be a very good option, for a less price

The other components IMO are fine.

Thanks for the input... i edited the post with the changes. Newegg had the psu and case as a combo.

I was hoping to spend around $1000.00 are less on this to prevent wife from complaining to much lol, and with those changes it dropped about 100 bucks :D

with shipping and handling Im at a Grand Total of : $1,038.00

My last build i just bought stuff and had compatability problems and thought I proble should take my time get opions this time around.

Some time down the road might try to put in a ssd drive in this build, but they are kinda pricey for me right now for the gb you get, but from reading about them people seem to like them alot
