Not so good.
960 is old, 590s are over priced and AX-1200 is a little too much power for you wallet.

Where are you buying from though?

I have not bought it, I come from Indonesia and I intend to buy it this week, I plan to buy it all from the central computers that are here, does GTX 590 can work optimally with 950watt Power Supply? and whether the monitor Samsung 23-Inch PX2370 is good? I felt the monitor alienware is too expensive and what suggestions do you have for the processor?

I just discovered this forum after finding out about computers, after reading some threads I just realized I was almost throwing my money ...

Thank you for your reply...

Not sure about what parts you have available, but look for a 2500K + 6950/GTX560Ti/GTX570 in crossfire.

For the monitor, any decent 1080p would do fine if you don't want 3D.

Consider the Intel second generation CPUs like i7-2600K

This is a recently released PSU from Corsair: http://www.corsair.com/power-supplies/modular-psus/professional-series-1/professional-series-hx1050-80plus-silver-certified-modular-power-supply.html (this will power whatever you install in the computer).

Another one to consider is: http://www.corsair.com/power-supplies/modular-psus/professional-series-1/hx850w.html - this one will also power whatever you install in the computer.

I suggest that you read some of the posts in the 'New Build' section, and then configure a system for yourself. Then post in the New Builds section for review and recommendations.

I have not bought it but I've ordered everything I mentioned above, but I was able to cancel some to be replaced with another (because I know the shop owners) are likely in the middle of this week's all been available, I'm just in doubt with all that. I think the 3d technology is not perfect and too expensive, probably the most realistic option for gaming is the Samsung 23-Inch PX2370, how do you think?
