($600) First PC build. Help.

Last response: in Systems
Share

This is my first time building a computer and I am looking to build a gaming computer. These are the parts I picked out and was wondering if that's all I need besides the OS and DVD drive and are they compatible? Also will all of the parts fit in the case and are there any better parts for the prices I have? I will be playing on a 24 inch 1080p monitor, is this setup good for gaming? Should I get a less powerful CPU and more powerful GPU? If you could please answer these questions.

The 5850 performs near a 6870 and costs less than a 6850.

    • Sapphire is making the smart move by liquidating those cards. if i had a stockpile of 5850s i would also slash the prices, because in 6 months NO ONE will buy them. The other manufacturers seem to have a different plan.
