Hello everyone, new computer builder here wanting to pick your brains a little bit on this configuration i have so far. Have never ever built one before, so I've compiled all of the PC builder guides I could find on the net as well as some forum pointers to help me out. Here is what I actually have ordered atm, so it's not too late to change (btw I was on a budget of about 1000 bucks on this build, so I recognize I have probably fallen short of normal gaming computer specs):
Thermaltake AF0032 Basic Fan - $ 8.99 (can never have too much circulation)
Lite-On Internal DVD Writer IHAS22406 - $19.99
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy SE - $29.99
Sparkle GeForce 9400 GT Vid Card - 512MB DDR2, PCI, Dual Link DVI, VGA, etc - $ 74.99
Microsoft Windows 7 - $ 99.99
Western Digital Caviar Blue HD 500 GB, 7200 RPM - $ 39.99
ASUS P6T LGA 1366 MoBo & Intel Core i7 930 Processor Bundle - $ 499.99
Ultra LSP550 550-Watt PSU, 135MM fan - $ 44.99
Corsair XMS3 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 RAM - $ 94.99
Cooler Master Elite 330 Black ATX Mid- Tower case - $ 39.99
Grand total of $ 953.90, with 19.78 S&H so 973.68. 45 dollars worth of rebates (one on the RAM, one on the bundle).
Any opinions are welcome here, as this is my first real go around building a PC. Any suggestions? any omissions I need to look at? Any compatibility issues?
Thanks in advance!
