New build questions

[AbuAK]

Hi
I am building a new system, and I was wondering if all of this would work together, and more importantly if the PSU would be powerful enough.
I do some light gaming, some multitasking, formatting videos and stuff, nothing to extensive.
Would this be a good build?

Total price w/shipping is $645.68, and with my rebates it will go down to $585.68, seems like a very good price for Sandy Bridge as long as I am not missing anything.
Any suggestions on better parts would be wonderful as well.
(I know the OS, keyboard, monitor and mouse is not included)

Yes, but thats his and mine is different, and we have a $150 price difference as well, I am wondering about my build, not someone elses to be honest

Your build looks fine to me. I would go with Arctic silver 5 for TIM

What's your monitors screen resolution...what resolution do you game with ?

 

[rolli59]

It is a good build and the PSU is enough even if you step up a little on the GPU maybe GTS450. Great price though on that GT240 and it is OK for casual gaming.

I have been out of the gaming business for a while because of a school, but I remember that I used to play games mostly from IJJI, the free ones, at max resolution.
I don't do a lot of heavy gaming so it usually isn't problem.

GT240 is a bit weak as its around the performance of the 9600GT. It will do you ok, but something more like the 9800GT would be better. The build is fine overall. I didn't click all the links but I didn't see anything there that would make it a no go. I'd keep the TIM you have, AS5 is conductive. And I don't like conductive paste. I think the TX-3 paste performs better, but what you have is fine. They don't have it on the site, but they have the newer (and much more expensive) TX-4 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835154012 I used TX-2 when I put my 212+ on. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835154003 Last, the 212+ does come with some grease so if you need to save a few coins then you can safely use it.
