assuming you only need those parts, final bill is 829.95$, but i need more info.

GTX260 is almost the same price as the GTX460. Spend a litle extra and get the 460! it's certainly far superior!

 

[Xuvea]

My budget is around $1000, is my build bad? can't tell from the first bit of response.

 

[ares1214]

your build isnt very good for gaming. mine is 830$, and it would destroy what you linked in gaming, and yours is 1000$? and if its 1000$, i can get better stuff, but what parts do you or dont you need?

 

[Xuvea]

I don't need too much hard drive space probably half what i had down, I was after a graphics card that would work with games that come out over the next few years, I'm looking to be able to play online games without lagging, also wanted some usb 3.0 ports for the future, thats about it. what is your computer build?

 

[ares1214]

i posted it, its all the links to newegg, 2nd post.

 

[Xuvea]

what manufacturer would you suggest buying a graphics card from?

 

[ares1214]

MSI, ASUS, XFX, Gigabyte, Sapphire, EVGA, im probably missing a few. the one in the build i linked is good

 

[Xuvea]

also, just out of curiosity and not meaning to offend, what was wrong with my build? would like to know so I can learn from what I did wrong. =)

 

[Xuvea]

the graphics card isn't posted the RAM is posted two times

 

[ares1214]

fair enough.

CPU: great choice

MOBO: WAYYYY over priced mobo

RAM: 2000 MHz is WAYYYYY overkill, 1600 MHz at lower timings would be faster and better anyway.

HDD: older and slower hdd. its also extremely overpriced.

GPU: its a very old gpu, and newer ones that blow it out of the water are the same price.

CASE: Its just an overpriced and ugly case :lol:

PSU: pretty good psu

thats all fixed with the build i suggested.

 

[ares1214]

OOO, sorry about that! fixed

I'm wondering what the PCIe description for the Mother board you posted means:
1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 (PCIEX16)
1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x8 (PCIEX8)
Note: When dual graphics cards are used in 1st and 2nd PCIex16 slots, SATA3 / USB 3.0 (Marvell 9128 /NEC USB 3.0 Controllers) will work at normal mode.

I still have problems with this,
What does it all MEAN!?!? DX

 

[ares1214]

it basically means when you have 1 video card in, it will run at x16 speed, when you have 2, they will both run at x8 speed. but when you have 2 in, the sata 3 will run at sata 2, and the usb 3 will run at usb 2. this is only for gigabyte boards, so if you have a problem with that, get this combo instead:

saves ya 5 bucks too

 

[Xuvea]

what should I look for in a tower case? a certain material?

 

[Xuvea]

so if there is only 1 card in a PCIe port it puts all the speed in the one but if you have two thing in 2 PCIe ports it splits the speed between the 2?

 

[ares1214]

in a sense, yes. however, graphics cards can barely fully use x8 speeds, so x16 is 100% performance, and with x8, you only lose about 5% performance. and case material doesnt matter too much. steel is strong, aluminum is light. if you plan on taking it around everywhere, get aluminum. if you plan on leaving it in one spot, it doesnt matter as much as long as its still good quality.

 

[Xuvea]

is this a good quality case?

[ares1214]

ehh, its pretty good, but isnt as good for the price.

 

[ares1214]

its a decent combo, however the one i linked is better (as a build).

??

 

[ares1214]

high price, high shipping, bad cooling, bad company, really small, pretty bad features. nah sorry, but there really isnt gonna be a combo thats gonna beat my case, or a case for a similar price that beats the case i recommended. is there something you dont like about it?

 

[Xuvea]

whats a good hard drive around 160 GB?

 

[ares1214]

160 GB?! why would you want 160 GB?! but this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136075

only thing is, why not pay 15$ more for a 500 gig hdd thats much safer and faster?
