Is everything compatible ?

[mrrul3z]

this is the PC for myself that i have chosen. is everything compatible, and is this a good budget build?

Intel Core i3 2100 Dual Core 3.1 Ghz

KINGSTON DDR3 2GB-1333

NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450

ASUS P8H67-M LE

SEAGATE 500GB 3.5" HDD 16MB Cache

Liteon DVD burner

Antec BP430 430Watts CONTINUOUS POWER PSU

Case doesn't matter

p.s. i have streched th budget to its limit and can't spend a penny more. and don't suggest me any AMD builds coz they r not available here.

and also is this pc good enough to run all the latest games on max settings with 1440 * 900 resolution? btw i have a samsung series 4 32" lcd tv 1366 x 768 which i plan to use as a monitor . would this make a difference?

how long can this pc support games and when would i need to upgrade it and any future suggestions for upgrade?

A few mistakes, instead of that motherboard get a cheaper H61 motherboard for 65-80 dollars.

Don't cheap out with 2GB of RAM, get a 4GB kit for 40 dollars.

Instead of the GTS 450 get an HD 6850, it will be MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH faster than the GTS 450 and only costs $165.

Instead of that had drive, get a 250GB or 320GB SATA hard drive to save money.

Get an Antec Earth watts PC cuz its cheaper.

DO you have an OS- windows??

about OS : i can chose any! what do u recomend?
btw i cut 2 gb of RAM from my original idea of four just to get h67 chipset mobo. coz ofcourse i can upgrade a couple gb more RAM just the nxt month whereas the performance boost (is there any?) frm h67 might still be there

plus i have th gpu on hold now . i might had to go with dual core processor if i buy a gpu now. so i decided to buy a sandy bridge and and settle for a gpu 4-5 months frm now when i'll have the money

Windows 7 64bit Pro or Home Ultimate edition is just a waste of $.

any OS will be free for me

Windows 7 Home premium- it costs $150!

there is no h67 perf boost, and you can get up to 8gb on h61 with two gb sticks and 16gb in the future when they release 8gb sticks.

don't u worry about that my dad has a site license for his company so he'll buy me one at his own cost
btw since gts 45 supports direct x11 so should i get vista or windows 7 and also 32 or 64 bit?

 

[mrrul3z]

need a little advice on psu for this system.
is the current one ok or should have it changed?

No, on TIGER DIRECT home 64bit is a cheap 100$

I'm with MN96, get a antec earthwatts, like this 430: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371034&Tpk=430%20earthwatts
It's 80+ and cheap and will have plenty of power for your rig.

No http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6594700&CatId=1078 Is much better, if he intends any computer upgrades such as a minor http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6759753&CatId=28 for HD I mean 430 could run that fine.

Now you're just trollin. The earthwatts is 80+, the corsair is not.

And for graphics cards, could you show me a benchmark where a 9600GSO beats a 5670? I'm rather interested, as the 9600 is a very old card, and i'm not sure how you came to the conclusion it was better.
