$700 AMD Build

[peteypablo319]

I have already purchased some of my components. I still need a PSU Processor and Mobo HD and CD/DVD Drive.

Already Purchased:
GPU: GTX 460 Hawk edition - $160
Case: Storm Scout - $60
RAM: G.Skill 2x2GB - $50

Total- $270

Heres what im thinking for the rest:

HD: http://www.buy.com/prod/western-digital-caviar-blue-500gb-sata-3-gb-s-16-mb-cache-7200rpm/q/loc/101/203868982.html - $50
CD/DVD: any will do - $20
Mobo/CPU: Combo http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.572902 - $260
PSU: http://www.buy.com/prod/seasonic-m12ii-620-atx12v-eps12v-power-supply-87-efficiency-620-w/q/loc/101/214937505.html - $88

Grand Total: $688

Looking to SLI in the future this mobo seems to be a good choice for that or no??

^ If you dont mind not having USB3.0 and SATA 6GB/s, then that board is fine, thought not the best, but if you want SLI, then that is the only best option available for AMD,...

^+1. The Western Digital "Blue" line is not their fastest. You want a Western Digital "Black," Samsung Spinpoint F3 (not F4), or Seagate 7200.12 (not .11) for better performance.

^ Not true, there is an MSI board based on the 980a

Anyway, looks good.

Either PSU is fine. They are both good quality components. And for SLI with an AMD processor, your only option is an nvidia chipset. The combo you picked is fine.
