Is the monitor included in your budget...? And a lot of your links do not work. And why isn't "newegg" one of the stores you would consider ?


monitor is included and the budget is flexible but im not going for a dream machine here just something that will tear the game apart

the links are all working for me dunno what to tell u but thx for the heads up

tigerdirect preferred because id rather go into the store and buy what i want then wait for something to be shipped

Ultra PSUs are crap and you don't need a 750w PSU for your system. If you wanna stick with 750w then get the Corsair TX750 which is cheaper ($90) and is manufactured by CWT which has a good reputation for good quality and reliable PSUs.

thanks for the info jaguar i switched out the PSU, im going for 750w because my gpu alone needs 450w and it leaves other options open like OCing in the future i think? correct me if i'm wrong.

is there anything else i can do to optimize this build for price or performance?

No. That maybe the recommended PSU or the total system power consumption from whatever review you may have read. Under typical gaming conditions the GTX 460 uses 141w. A serious overclocking might push it to 180w - 190w.

so i could get away with a 500w Corsair CMPSU-500CX Builder Series CX500 Power Suppy - ATX, 500 Watt, 120mm Ultra-Quiet Fan, Single +12V Rail?
