Im new here[First post actually], Although ive been lurking quite a few hours in over the last week or two. I've decided to build a Gaming PC, Running around a 600-700$ budget. I've came up with the following which ill show in a few lines. I'd like to point out my Overclocking experience is 1 time and that card is trash now, I would also like to state, i already have my CD Drives/Hard Drive. I'm mostly wondering if i overlooked a compatibility issue on this PC or if there was something you would do diffrently and why, and without further adue.
Ill start it off with the motherboard.
Open Box: ASUS M4A78T-E AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
I chose this because off the start, I figured I would go with AMD3 Socket, and a board compatible with the CPU[Phenom II X4], I also considered it was a good price even at whole sale so when I found the OpenBox deal I figured this was a good choice.
Powersupply + Case = Combo!
HEC 63RABB Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - OEM + hec X-Power Pro 650 650W Continuous @ 40°C ATX 12V v2.2 / EPS 12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply - Retail
I chose this because it was a last minute choice and I still needed a case to put it all in, and a power-supply to power it all, And for the price it seemed pretty good with a 650W powersupply and a seemingly-decent case.
CPU/Processor
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor - Retail
I chose this because I wanted a 4 core processor with decent GHz that fit the AM3 socket without breaking the budget, It appears to be a good bang for the buck[also appears to fit the motherboard].
RAM
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10600CL9D-4GBNT - Retail
I chose these because i wanted DDR3 without breaking my bank, not much to say, It's ram.
GPU
XFX HD-575X-ZNFC Radeon HD 5750 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - Retail
I chose this because I wanted crossfire later on aswell as it being good enough to power most/all of the game I play/Might want to play now and in the near-distant future espicially if I crossfire it.
After shipping etc build comes out to about 630$, That being said and done this is about build #12 for me virtual-wise[meaning I havent actually built 12 computers but rather ive designed 12 or so in the last week up until this one and this is the one im happy with], This will be my first build. Share your thoughts/Concerns, And finally after all this typing, is this board completely functional?
Please n Thx
