Hello everyone, first post but I've been studying a lot off the forum, so hopefully this makes some sense for a build.
Budget - Roughly 600-800. I could spend a little over 800 if I really had to, but I would prefer not to.
System usage from most to least - Gaming, I want to be able to play new games such as COD blackops and SC2 on somewhat high settings. Then web surfing, downloading music and movies, school work.
Quick USB transfer, reliability, quick saving and loading, and low-noise are also things I'm kinda looking for... But then I am on a budget
I just basically want a fairly fast computer.
Parts not required - Mouse, Keyboard, OS, monitor.
Overclocking - Not right away, but planning on it.
SLI or Crossfire - Nope.
Here's one rig I have planned up, Is it all compatible, and look good for the price?
CPU $149.99- AMD Phenom II X4 955BE http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103808
Case$65.97- COOLER MASTER Elite 310 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119202
Motherboard$69.99- GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128394
GPU$72.23 ZOTAC GeForce 9500 GT http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500147
PSU$88.97 OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ700MXSP 700W http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341018
RAM$86.48 G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231122
Hard drive$61.98 Western Digital 500GB 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136497&Tpk=WD5000AVDS
DVD burner$26.98 LG burner http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136177
Total - 541.11! Leaves me extra money to play with!
I Could even possibly add another 4GB of RAM if it would help gaming any.
OR
Newegg has a super combo thing going on sale for right around my budget but more expensive than my config....
