Here is my $1000 rig, but I don't know for sure if all the parts are compatible, will fit in my case/mobo, and if i have the best deals/combo deals on newegg, any help would be appreciated.

also, is my HSF compatible to my i5?

Thanks so much!

Sorry, added to main post as well.
Case:
Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

looks like a pretty solid build i would go with a samsung spinpoint f3 1TB though it is 69.99

 

[Why_Me]

That build is wrong. You have a $30 cpu h/s, a $110 P67 board, and a $90 Corsair psu to push a 570 yet you don't plan on running SLI nor do you plan on over clocking.

 

[invaderneal]

well I'm unsure what you mean by all wrong.
Im not running SLI as i need a rig that costs less than $1000,
and i didn't plan on OC as the i5-2500 says it auto adjusts as you need - and OC is new to me a lil bit of noob.

what would you suggest?

Two ways I would do this. First drop the after market cpu h/s, get a H61 board, and a 550w XFX psu.

or option #2...

I can post a build on here in that price that would leave open the option for over clocking and SLI later on down the road.

Anyone think the hardware is best for the money?
Or would you do something different

Just out of curiosity what games do you play or plan on playing ?

 

[invaderneal]

hmm currently play lord of the rings, but want to play COD: black ops, bioshock 1/2, dragon age, and any games that come out in the next few years.

I honestly don't know if any of those games other than COD and bio shock would take advantage of dual vid cards. Maybe just change that psu to the XFX to save some money or look at the Antec 650's.

If you do change your mind here's a build I posted not to long ago that leaves that option open for SLI. The case in that build is the one the OP chose...otherwise I would have put a Cooler Master in that build.
